we met in 9-06... started dating 11-22-06... we were married 4-2-07 in a private ceremony in norwalk, ca and only 1 person got to be there, so dont be offended if you werent invited... nobody was! we're in the process of acclimating to married life and so far its awesome :) Someday we hope to live in Cape Cod in a good ol' fashioned saltbox house and raise our kids there, and we moved to mass this past may. we just had a son on 2-22 and he's the best thing ever! its fascinating to watch a tiny little baby grow into a complex, intricate person. and now we're expecting baby #2 5 days after alana's 24th birthday (june 30, 09)!! this may or may not complete our family, that has yet to be decided ;) um... we arent really the cleavers or anything, we are primarily best friends who just got lucky enough to want to spend the rest of our lives together. We hang out, watch the history/discovery channel like crackheads and enjoy making the other person laugh, no matter what the cost ;) we like to go clubbing when we have the $$ and days off work, same with random road-trips all over MA, RI and NH (so far). we're history nerds so its going to be totally exciting exploring the sights! we love tattoos and piercings and have 9 tats and 36 piercings between us. wanna guess where they are? >:) we're a very open and honest family that believes in strong thinkers, sharing opinions, talking through problems, learning along the way, cosleeping, breastfeeding and old fashioned ideals.

rob is a 26 year old system engineer in salem... and a loving, caring, compassionate and overall GREAT husband, daddy and provider. he loves football, being retarded, showing his buttcrack, watching discovery channel with aiden, messing with computers, PC gaming, giving his adoring wife massages and our dumb cat spike.

alana is a 23 year old SAHM. someday she hopes to become an elementary school teacher, but only after her kids are in school. raising her kids well and being a great wife is the most important thing to her.

aiden is an almost 11 month old miniature genius (so his mommy says) that loves to explore the world with his hands. so far he smiles when he hears mommy or daddy, laughs and giggles, coos and gurgles like a pro, has control over his melon head, can roll back to front, and front to back, he can pull up to standing, cruise around, say dada, mama, yaya, baba, hi, claps and waves, crawls FAST, and farts and burps like a trucker! makes us proud *sniff*

together we're the hawker family... crazy, weird, cooky and yet totally super colossal McAwesomeness. *squee* <3
