She’s come a long way in the last two weeks. When we first got her she was too scared to go more than a block or two….but on Sunday we were out for 2.5 hours! We kept her on the leash for a bit, and then once we were away from the crowds we let her run. She was so excited and I don’t think she had a clue how tired she was going to be at the end. When we got home, she crawled into her crate and only came out once to get dinner (and slowly for that too!) If only we could do that every day with her!

She decided to go as a Frog! We hung out with The Ludders/Hunters family up on Capitol Hill. There are a couple of blocks on 17th that go all out. Lots of decorations, people dressed up in the yards, dry ice, etc. Here are a few pictures, check out the link to the album for all of them.

But the other day she took her real first crawl, hands and knees moving together. Here it is captured on film ….

This morning we were greeted with these wonderful laughs … apparently blowing my nose was quite hilarious.

We’ve been trying to adopt a puppy for awhile now, but it seems that having a child under the age of 7 makes us undesireable. So, when the Springer Spaniel Rescue Association said that they had a puppies and we had been approved, we jumped at the opportunity! So far Sabine and her new playmate having been having a great time together!

These trips were some of the highlights of my fall…together we could talk about the misery of being pregnant (did I say misery?…I must have meant joys :) , we got some fresh air and Jessica introduced me to new and strange vegetables that Mark and I valliantly tried to cook with.

So, it was no surprise that this fall I have been very anxious to get started on our uPicking again. We’ve added one more to our grouping, our friend Suzie, whose daughter is just a few weeks older than Sabine. We all met in our Yoga class and are lucky to be very similar to each other. This threesome of moms is so important to me for so many reasons. Last week we did our first uPicking and for the first time since we’ve all been together, there was a camera. Finally we have a picture of our own little mom’s group with our fabulous three kiddos!mommies

This year Bebeth, Jessica, and Jack created the team, the Fighting Axons, with creative help from Eva Blank and Scott Colbourne. Highlights from the ride:

  • Deborah and Proctor coming all the way out from New York to ride and support the cause
  • My 12 year old niece, Mikaela, riding a total of 55 miles over the course of two days
  • Eva and Scott coming down from Vancouver to ride and support the cause
  • Eva taking a monstrous spill only to get up and keep riding (see pictures).
  • Samuel Hunter and Sabine Steudel’s  first appearance at the MS Ride.
  • Jenna and Nick coming up from south Seattle to support the ride

If anyone out there is a rider, this is one of the best supported rides in the area. We’d love to have more family and friends participate next year.
