October 2011: Newest Family Portraits

October 2011: Newest Hobbs' Family Portraits!
Mike discovered these awesome new photos while reading up on Facebook:

Jacob, Shauna, and Tyler Hobbs

Precious little Tyler at 2 weeks old

Can't you just feel the love? 

Oh, so tiny and sweet!

August 24, 2011--Welcome Tyler Matthew Hobbs!

Tyler was born a few hours before Jacob's 24th birthday weighing 7lbs 2oz and was 22.5 inches long. Jacob and Shauna were exhausted from the long 26 hour labor and so elated when their son finally arrived just one day past his due date.

    

Sweet baby love: mommy's dream come true!

            

    

Going home for some real rest!

   

 

Our precious new grandson: We love you Tyler!

June 2011: One on one with my "Huddy Buddy"

June 2011--Hudson Hangin' With Grandma:

I had the joy and privilege of taking care of my grandson, Hudson Dunlap, for five months this year while Jessica finished up her work at Sandia and Sebastian completed his schooling and passed the NM Bar exam. I loved every moment I spent with Hudson and still pine for him!

Tackling a whole banana by himself and getting banana up his nose!

Second course: Cheerios stuffed into his face!

Monkey, monkey, monkey! 

What's this big green thing, and how do I eat it?

Hudson reminded me of Jessica and Jacob when they were babies

I like this orange ball, and I'm going to eat it!

Even though it's bitter, I want another bite

Hudson got his vitamins the fun way. Here he's trying out a Granny Smith apple.

Eating is so much work. Night night sweet baby. Enjoy your nap.

I love you Hudson!
