			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.steudel.org/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/IMG_0809-1.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-826" title="IMG_0809-1" src="http://www.steudel.org/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/IMG_0809-1-300x291.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="291" /></a>Last weekend Courtney and Arthur were in town for a visit. They&#8217;ve been stuck in flat Michigan for too long (their words, not mine) and so I knew they wanted to go hiking and see some beautiful views. Given their complaints about the flatness of Michigan, I thought taking them to the heights of the Cascades would be a good idea&#8230;which lead us to Mailbox Peak. Although I&#8217;ve wanted to do it for awhile, we&#8217;d never made it there. I knew it was going to be a butt kicker but since Saturday was a gloriously sunny day, I thought the views would be worth it.</p>
<p>Unfortunately Mark wasn&#8217;t feeling 100% still, so only Kuja, Sabine, Courtney and Arthur and I went. Butt kicker it was&#8230;.4,100 vertical feet in 3 miles. Thankfully Mark and I have either snowshoed or hiked almost every weekend since the new year, so amazingly I made it all the way to the top with the Bine on my back. Thankfully Arthur took her on the way back down. At the top we could see Mt. Rainier, Seattle, the Olympic Mountains, Mt. Baker and pretty anything else around since we were above it all.</p>
<p>It was a great day and all worth it despite the fact that we&#8217;re still having trouble going up and down stairs normally.<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This weekend was a typical rainy PNW weekend. But not looking forward to being cooped up all day we thought we&#8217;d take a chance and go for a hike. So we drove out onto the the Mountain Highway loop and started a hike up to Heather Lake. It turned out to be a perfect day for a hike in the forest. The forest canopy cut the direct rain, and being outfitted in gortex jackets everyone was warm and toasty. Sabine was all bundled up in her one piece down suit, rain jacket, and covered by her new rain hood.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: left;">Well this week it&#8217;s been &#8220;Doctor Week&#8221;. Both of our &#8220;children&#8221; made a trip to their respective doctors. Kuja went in yesterday to get fixed, spent the night at the vet&#8217;s office and Bebeth went and picked her up this afternoon, with the instructions &#8220;Make sure she stays calm.&#8221; A puppy calm, are you serious? She now has a cone attached to her head, which seems to get caught on things, especially all the baby gates &#8230;</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.steudel.org/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/IMG_2313.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-771 alignnone" title="IMG_2313" src="http://www.steudel.org/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/IMG_2313-200x300.jpg" alt="" width="200" height="300" /></a><a href="http://www.steudel.org/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/IMG_2315.jpg"> <img class="size-medium wp-image-772 alignnone" title="IMG_2315" src="http://www.steudel.org/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/IMG_2315-200x300.jpg" alt="" width="200" height="300" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Sabine made her 9 month visit to the Doctor. No she didn&#8217;t get fixed. Though she did get weighed and now weighs a whopping 16lbs 5oz. and comes to a towering height of 27 inches. Her head is in the 90th percentile and her weight puts her in the 10th percentile. She is now officially a bobble head doll. She also go the ok to eat pretty much anything. Below was our first attempt at feeding her pasta, she didn&#8217;t really seem to be a fan.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.steudel.org/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/IMG_2265.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-770" title="IMG_2265" src="http://www.steudel.org/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/IMG_2265-300x200.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="200" /></a></p>
<p><a href="http://www.steudel.org/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/IMG_2264.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-769" title="IMG_2264" src="http://www.steudel.org/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/IMG_2264-300x200.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="200" /></a>These day&#8217;s she is crawling around a lot, and even free standing for 3 or 4 seconds on her own. She has also figured out how to climb our stairs &#8230; time for more baby gates. Over the last few weeks she&#8217;s started dancing. It&#8217;s more like wobbling her head back and forth, but she loves doing it. If I start playing the guitar or we turn some music on the radio she&#8217;ll often start dancing.</p>
