The Weekend

Our weekend started off with two doctor appointments - one for me and one for Hunter. I got the okay to go ahead and start exercising! WOOHOO! P90X - here I come! Everything checked out great with Hunter, too! He weighs 11.4 pounds (75th percentile) and is 22.75 inches long (80th percentile) - little man is growing like crazy! He had to get a shot at the end of his visit. It just about killed me. He got so upset - he had real tears and everything!  The next visit he gets 3 - I'm positive that I will cry on that visit!

After the doctor visit we started our journey into Roanoke.


Hunter slept the entire 3 hours! He was very awake when we got to Breezy Rock - took one nap - then refused to go to sleep again! It took me forever to get him to go to bed! Hunter got to meet the Fabulous Brandi! He was so amazed by her! He just kept staring and staring! Little man has good taste already!


This was the one nap that Hunter took on Friday!  He and his Dad were very tired from the long drive!


On Saturday all the grandparents came over to visit with Hunter!  Then it was time for Hunter to go to his first party!  Bub is turning 50, so Kit threw him a big surprise party.  Hunter was there long enough to eat a bottle and then we headed home!  


Saturday was also the start of some major stress.  When Brett woke up on Saturday morning he could tell that my sweet Gray Pony was not feeling well.  He called into work and called the vet. Brett stayed by the Gray's side all day.  He would walk him when needed to try and get him to poop - but nothing seemed to work.  Finally at the end of the day he decided to take him up to VT because he was just not improving.  The doctors told Brett that his only options were surgery or to be put down.  Brett decided to go ahead and try the surgery.  He ended up having a lypoma around part of his intestine and the doctors removed 4 feet of his intestine.  After the surgery he seemed to be doing really well.  The last call they got said that he was going downhill again and could possibly need a second surgery.  That horse is so lucky to have Brett as his owner.  Brett has done everything he possibly can do to save that horse and he isn't giving up yet!  Say a little prayer and cross your fingers that Brett will be bringing Gray home next week.

On Sunday, Hunter went to church for the first time.  I have never seen anything cuter than him dressed in his church clothes!  He was absolutely perfect at church - he just slept the entire time.  Shocked?  



 Here are some more pictures from this weekend:






 On the way home, Hunter slept all three hours again!


Please say some prayers for that Gray pony.
