Ammon Bryan Hiner

Everyone was anxiously waiting for the phone call from the hospital on Monday telling us that it was time to come in for Vanessa to be induced. The call didn't come until 9pm when all the kids were already in bed. Aunt Jill came over to spend the night while Bryan and Vanessa took off to the hospital. After a long night of medication and slow progress, Ammon Bryan Hiner joined us at 11:07 on Tuesday morning. He weighed in at 8lbs 9.6 oz and was 21.5" long. Ammon immediately went to eating after all that work he had done, once again making mom wait her turn to eat.

Katie, Kevin, and Hunter spent the day at the zoo with aunts and cousins. They came to visit Tuesday evening and were so excited to see their baby brother. Ammon has been sleeping and eating well. We are so happy to have him here with us.

Hope you all had a great Halloween!

We had fun at our church carnival then trunk-or-treating. I'm happy to have all the chocolate around, but surprisingly haven't eaten that much. Maybe because I still had hello dollys and pie, which trump a fun size chocolate.

The kids enjoyed the games.

Bowling, donut eating, mini golf...

For Trunk-or-Treating Katie was the only one who got to all the cars for collecting candy. Kevin would run up to each person and growl, and Hunter just loved looking at any decorations people had brought, but lucky for me he still said trick-or-treat to increase our candy supply.

I was a cow and Bryan was my farmer.

Unfortunatly we did not get a picture.

The kids are cuter anyway.
