A look back at 2008….
This year we did not send a letter with our Christmas card. Instead I directed all of you here! So, welcome if this is the first time reading our family blog. We have tried to move to the 21st century! I (Suzanne) try to post at least once a month, on the 1st, if not more often to update you on our life and share pictures! Here is a summary of the highlights of 2008 for the Hunter Family:
January – Anticipation of our son’s arrival. Doctor visits, last minute preparations, supply buying, baby showers, baby classes….. I could go on, and on…. ;)
February – Great anticipation on when the birth will come, and it started 9 days early with my water breaking at work! How our life changed! Shaun was born on 2/12 weighing 7 pounds 14 ounces and 21 inches long. We all went home from the hospital on Valentine’s Day! We learned how much longer it takes to get out of the house!
March – Grandma (Hunter) came to meet her 4th grandchild with Uncle Seth from Montana. Uncle Seth is only 14 and already has 2 nieces and 2 nephews! Shaun joins Kyra (6), Kayla (4) & Kamron (2) as grandchildren on the Hunter side of the family. However, they live in Montana, so Shaun hasn’t met them yet. Hopefully someday soon.
April – We took the first family trip to the ocean with Shaun. We felt like we were moving in! Who knew that one little person could have or need so much stuff!?
May – My first Mother’s day. It was very special, in fact, every day I love being a mom! Shaun and I and his friends and their Mommies started up our own play group. Shaun is 3 months old!
June – Bill’s first Father’s day. The start of our weekly summer day trips to the cabin at the lake. I returned to work 2 days a week. I decided to start a blog to keep you all updated and get up to date with technology!
July – I returned to work full time and Bill is officially a stay at home Daddy!
August – Shaun is 6 months old! Wow, how time flies! We celebrated our 7th wedding anniversary.
September – I turned the big 3-0!!!
October – 2nd Annual applesauce making party with Renae & Jessica. Shaun’s first Halloween and first trip to the pumpkin patch.
November – Shaun is 9 months old! First Thanksgiving Feast!
December – First time on Santa’s lap & Christmas! We learned that Shaun will be getting a new “cousin” next summer! Ok, what will Shaun and this new baby be to each other if their moms are cousins? We will call them cousins anyway!!! Until then, Shaun is the only child of this generation on my side of the family. Bill can see the light at the end of the tunnel for school. He has one more class next quarter, and then he has his Bachelor’s degree! Whoohoo!!!
Merry Christmas & Happy New Year!!! We hope that 2009 will be good to you and your family!

Love the e-letter!
If the moms are cousins, then the kids will be second cousins.
