Hudson is 9!! This kid is funny, a bit crazy, kind, very active and also loves to cuddle. He has big emotions and feels things hard. Hudson has an amazing laugh and a huge smile. Hudson adjusts and adapts to many things life has thrown at him. God knew exactly what I needed when he trusted me to be your mom. I'm so blessed to have a front row seat to watch you learn, grow and take on the world.
Hudson had another year full of adventure and more firsts:
--First trip to Sunriver

Second Grade bought on a chance to be a bit more independent. He excels in reading and conversation skills. He continues to work extra hard with fine motor skills and math. He has been doing tutoring as a way to help. He works hard and perseveres, most of the time. Hudson is a pleaser and likes to make his teachers happy. We pray he never loses that trait! Here's to another year of being awesome.
Hudson experienced flying at I-Fly in Tigard. He was so nervous at first and full of technical questions, but after his first flight he was all smiles and asked for 2 more low flights. Next time, he may be willing to go on a high flight. I'm proud of him for trying something that seemed scary.
All suited up and ready to fly
And the wind turns on and the nerves set in
He was assigned #95 and called himself "Flying McQueen"
I was totally scared but had a great support system. Greg and Alex might need to ice their hand from the initial squeeze but once it got going, it was easier than the 3 root canals and an epidural mid contraction 😀
Hudson and I sing a bedtime song to the tune of "You are my sunshine" but it's "You are my love bug". A love bug has always been a ladybug for us. My first tattoo is for Hudson and I and I love it!

I was there with Alex when she got her first tattoo in College and she returned the favor today for me!
