Hood River

The Howes had an active weekend. At our last birthing class we learned that (surprise) babies cry a lot, and parenting is going to be tough. Fortunately the instructor exposed us to the 5 S's: swaddle, "shushhhhh," side, swinging, and sucking. Who knows if it actually works ...

Two-thirds of the Buamgartner klan spent the weekend in Hood River. We climbed Mount Hood:









We played Yahtzee (dad got three (!) Yahtzees, and Dan and Laurie struggled through questions about how they met):



We watched mom and dad try out their swing moves:



It was a good time.
