Halibut Catch

So BearHunter hunted halibut and salmon this week and scored a rather large halibut. Hopefully a picture will come later. He went out with our pastor and another friend from church who's boat they used. In the first fifteen minutes he got the two biggest fish of the day. They estimate them at 60-80 pounds the first halibut, and 135 for the second! The larger was 5'4" long. Now that's a sweet sized fish. Even men who fish here for years don't get 'em that size. They didn't get any salmon however. At the end of the day, all three of them split the meat equally (we're Christians remember?), which meant BearHunter came home with perhaps 70 pounds of food. Our cook was very happy about that. Did you know halibut has a massive amount of protein, more than beef?

Squeakums (my chosen nickname for baby today) has started spitting up milk on a more regular basis. I guess he's around 10 pounds now. And excited that he's learning to fall asleep with briefer periods of crying. Yeah for Babywise and Baby Whisperer, our books about understanding your baby's communication and teaching your baby a schedule. He's sleeping better at night too. Less of a fussy period in the late evening.

Hi Guys,
You're about the 9th or 10th person to speak highly of BabyWise. I think I'm going to have to pick that one up.
