Hennessey Happenings

Seth and I went salmon fishing off of Westport 2 weeks ago. It was a lot of fun, although I didn't catch anything. I summed up my portion of the trip as the official hors d'oeuvre provider for the fish. They kept taking my bait and then going and hooking on someone else's line. At least Seth caught a fish so we didn't come home empty handed.

For anyone who has ever been to our house, you know that Sadie doesn't get into things and therefore we can keep her treats on the floor and she won't bother them. We usually have to put them up for visiting dogs as they clue in really fast. But now we also have to find a way to keep our son out of them. Seth and I have both caught Alistair nibbling on a dog treat while he is playing. He just goes and grabs one and continues playing with whatever, occasionally sucking on his newfound treat!
Alistair loves his fruit and these 2 photos show it. The above photo looks like a massacre has taken place on his tray when if fact it was a delicious end to his breakfast. We shared Bing Cherries and I couldn't get them pitted and diced quick enough for him! The below photo is Alistair eating his all time favorite fruit, watermelon. No more diced pieces for him here; he just takes a piece and slowly works it down to the rind. Then he will trade you for a new piece.
Since our last camping trip we haven't been up to much except trying to keep cool in the heat wave. I went to Walla Walla with Carolyn and Ranae for my first weekend away from my family since Alistair was born. We went wine tasting and had a great time. It was fun to be in Walla Walla again. We rented a house, so it almost felt like I was living there again. My old house has been torn down. They are building some new academic building or something on the sight. I came home with 10 bottles of wine!!! (:
