Hunter leaves this coming Tuesday to return to his dad's home which is now in Montana. He has been here 14 months almost to the day. It's bittersweet in a way. I'll miss him for sure but glad he will be with the person he loves the most and we will return to our retired way of life. He finished 8th grade yesterday and is now heading into high school. The thing I won't miss for sure is raising a teenage boy through high school.
I've been looking through photos I took along the way while he was here and I love this one.
As most kids at his age .... his follow through isn't the best. He just had to have a cat, and then a collar and leash because he was going to teach Beanie to walk on a leash. This is the one and only day he ever took her out for a walk.
This period of time will appear like a flash of light in the dark when I look back a few years from now and remember the time our grandson lived with us.
We watched him quite a bit when he was little - and after he was born he lived at our house for two years. His best friend at the time was his dog Baron and his cockatiel that his mom bought around the time he was born. The bird followed him everywhere and Hunt would play with her all the time.
He tried to give the bird a girlfriend but the bird kept knocking her over.
Two of my favorite photos is when he fell asleep in the car. He had been playing with his gummy type hand and I'm still trying to find out how the hand creeped down his neck and spread its' fingers while he was sleeping.
Bringing me flowers.
He was my first grandchild.

Sandy, these photos are all wonderful! What sweet memories of your grandson. I'm sure you will miss having him around, but time moves on.
Thanks Connie - lots of wonderful memories for sure - yes I'll miss him but movement is occurring in so many lives - nothing ever remains the same. Now I can go climb that next mountain up ahead to see what's waiting to fill the vacuum. have a great weekend.
I love all these pictures you picked for this post! He was such a cute little one and it was fun for me to look back with you on these pictures. I hope that all works out for him and that he enjoys Montana and makes lots of new friends there. For you, I'm glad you can get back to your days of being able to do whatever you want without the responsibility of raising another teenager!
Beautiful photos and stories to go with them. It's amazing how animals respond to people, like they are people themselves sometimes.
