hunter will inevitably be asking where he got his big forehead from. and i'm sure sage will have the same fate so she'll be asking to. take one look at this...
see the big foreheaded man in the middle? that was my daddy (my bro and me are on either side of him - obviously). hunter undoubtebly has his forehead.
and not only does hunter have a big forehead, he has kelly's big head. poor kid. - our kids just may be doomed until the rest of their body catches up with their not-so-little noggins.
when people see hunter for the 1st time or anytime, really, they always talk about how big his head is. i'm sure people said the same things about baby kelly:
it looks like it will only get worse before it gets better:
little kelly at age 5 - similar to the likes of a basketball stuck to the top of a toothpick. but oh so cute!!!
back to the big forehead... i honestly can't wait to tell hunter where he got it from. because that means i'll get to tell him about my dad. it is a bit sad to me that my kids will never know him. it is even sadder that my husband will never know him. but, such is life. he died when i was nine. and i really can't remember a whole lot about him which is exceptionally sad. when we visited my family this past summer back in cali we watched an old home video from when i was five. my dad's voice was doing all the talking and it didn't even sound familiar to me... that made me want to cry. anyways, he died of a rare form of hereditary thyroid cancer. my brother and i have to get checked every year for it. if the doc's find any bad cells they will remove our thyroid because there is no cure. not chemo. nothing. and, statistics say that 1/2 of the persons children that have the cancer will get it. but, i'm not trusting the stats with this. at least i try not to. i also try to never think about it because it freaks me out beyond belief.
anyways, this wasn't meant to be a post about remembering my dad. i guess it has turned out that way. i'm beyond thankful for the few sweet memories i have of him! and, oh my great goodness, am i ever thankful for my big-headed, big-foreheaded little boy!

You look a lot like your dad! I know I don't know you in person, but I can tell from your pictures.
Hunter is perfect - big head and all!
Oh yes, Hunter is just precious, even if he does have a big head! lol. I'm sure my kids will have big heads too because me & Mike both have big heads! lol. oh, and you look so much like Melanie in that pic! Kelly was such a cute kid, and yes, I know Hunter will grow out of it, just like Kelly did!
you have a cutest family! my husband and i both have HUGE foreheads and i'm sure our kids will too haha! xoxo
You and your brother look so much like your DAD. My brother and I look like my dad too. So does my niece ; )
Just think of all the information Hunter can store in his head. High foreheads are a sign of intelligence, don't you know.
