Update to Flat Hutson

Flat Hutson arrived at his cousins' Brittyn and Bailey Chamberlin's house in Pocatello, ID on Monday March 3, 2008. He couldn't have arrived at a better time to be able to experience our lives in full swing. Starting Monday afternoon, he was able to go see an old friend of his moms, Emily Wright, while she cut aunt Camille's hair. On Tuesday he was able to go to Wic with Camille, Brittyn, and Bailey to get weighed and measured. He looks to be growing right on track (though a little short like his cousins). Tuesday evening he was able to take dinner to his uncle Joe who works at the Post Office as a mail handler. He was even able to meet Joe's boss, Eric Stanley, and get his picture taken with him and uncle Joe. On Wednesday he was able to go to Aunt Camille's presidnecy meeting and also to Health and Welfare to watch Aunt Camille get her fingerprints and background check done to become a foster parent. On Thursday he was able to go to the dentist, the babysitter Angelee Dalley's house, pick up the new 4-wheelers and then play in the nursery at the church while Aunt Camille served her Enrichment Dinner. He had a great time with the fun young women who watched him. On Friday he was able to go to Mommy and Me with Camille, Brittyn, and Bailey and everyone made Leprechaun puppets and frosted sugar cookies with green frosting for St. Patricks Day. Saturday he got the joy of going to Idaho Falls with Joe, Camille, Brittyn and Bailey to grandpa's land to get the trailer for the 4-wheelers. Uncle Joe got stuck on the land for 3 hours, but we brought the snow gear and played in the snow while the truck got unstuck! Sunday and Monday (9th & 10th) were relaxing days, but Tuesday he got to play with Uncle Joe, Brittyn and Bailey while aunt Camille got a much needed massage. He also got to play with a new babysitter from Zambia (Katoba was her name) on Tuesday evening while Camille went to her foster parent meeting. On the 12th, he again got to go to the presidency meeting. On Thursday he got another babysitter with the girls while Camille again went to the Foster Parent classes (this time it was Emily Stirling and she is 11). Over the weekend, he played outside with his cousins, went grocery shopping, and to pay bills (Idaho Power) with Camille. He even got to ride in Bailey's carseat so he was safe while driving around (Bailey stayed with Uncle Joe). Finally, on the 17th, he got to play with 2 of Brittyn and Bailey's friends, Prestyn and Royal. He also helped make and decorate more sugar cookies (these were green) and frosted them with green frosting. On the morning of the 18th, aunt Camille took him back to the post office and mailed him back so all of his friends could see what he had been doing and see all the fun he had. We definately had a great time with Flat Hutson at our house and Brittyn is going to miss showing them to everyone where ever we go.
