Growing Up Gunther

(Most of these photos are courtesy of my friend, Justin.)

   In looking back over these pictures of Gunther, it is hard to believe how much he has grown. When we got Gunther, he was 7 weeks old and weighed 13 pounds. (You can read more about him here.) A couple of weeks after we got him, Jason had to be gone and I didn't want to leave him at home alone on the days I wasn't able to take him to work. So Uncle Justin, Gunther's godfather, got to babysit him.

 Eating carrots at Uncle Justin's is always more fun then eating them at home.

Continuing the Australian Holiday

   This post is quite out-dated, but I will be picking up where we left off in Touring Mt. Gambier, in which we were driving around the countryside searching out farms to tour. The second farm we happened upon was a dairy farm. We spent quite a while here looking at their herds and talking about farming techniques. We didn't get any photos at this visit, but we were invited back for the 5:00am milking to see their 60-cow rotary milking parlor. As the evening got late, we finally headed back to our little bungalow for supper.

 We had a lovely supper of kangaroo steak, baked potatoes, frozen veggies, and chocolate cake.

15 Weeks

   This past Saturday Gunther turned 15 weeks old. I weighed him today and he is a whopping 36 pounds! I can't get get him to hold still long enough to measure him, so I don't know how tall or long he is. I did get his front leg measured and it was roughly 12" long. He has been eating a lot more lately, so I think he has gone thru a growth spurt. I don't have many new pictures of him, but when Jason was out climbing last week, they got this photo of him.

This is our almost 15 week old rock climbing son.

(3/13/18 Edit: I am fairly certain that there was a lot more to this post originally. It appears that most of it has disappeared, much to my dismay. I do not remember what all was on here, so I can't even begin to re-create it. Sad day! I must invest in an external hard drive so that I can back up my blog for safe keeping.)
