After the strike

I went on strike for a bit because I want Brandon to start posting more to the blog too. Hopefully he kicks it up or else I will strike again! :)

Some highlights of things that have happened in the last few weeks:
  • Hunter now weighs 13 pounds 5 ounces at 5 months old
  • We had our family holiday gathering at Aunt Susan's in Dallas, Oregon that had postponed due to bad weather
  • Hunter is now back to waking up two to three times in the middle of the night and early morning, causing us to be very sleep deprived (why am I still up right now?!)
  • Hunter started eating rice cereal and tried her first real food - an avacado
  • Hunter and I had a girls day out and visited Aunt Mikki, Aunt Holly, Aunt Tonia and cousin Lena (ok, not true relatives, but whatevs)
  • Brandon and I went to a Blazer game and are going to another one next week
  • I started reading a RAD book about raising a vegetarian baby :)
  • Shasta (Mark and Teri's dog) killed a Nutria by ripping its head off
  • The final season of Battlestar Gallactica started
  • I made some huge strides in helping dogs at the Newberg shelter (more to come on that!)
  • Sold my Bronco to some high school kids :(
  • My Mom's great dane passed away (RIP Pebbles)
  • Brandon mucked up his back and then I mucked up mine today at the shelter (Urgent care and pain meds saved my day)
  • Brandon and I have worked many long hours at work, while Grandma Nanny Teri takes the best care of Hunter
  • Hunter is now rolling all over the place
  • Brandon and Hunter and I are going on a three day trip to the beach on Tuesday for our first solo family trip
  • and tons more I'm sure, but time for pictures!

Hunter is adorable. And yet, my biological clock is still in reverse. Go figure. I hope your trip to the coast is fun. Do you want to plan a February get together? Sam and I are going to rent Moonwalker (MICHAEL JACKSON) and watch it with the projector. You in?
