Swishers, Surprise Party, Six Months, and Solids

The Hunter family has been very busy the past few weeks!

First, we were delighted to have the Swisher family back in Chicago for a visit on Epiphany (Jan. 6) to celebrate the baptism of their Godson, Manuel "Manny" Mark Sanchez. The Swishers are dear friends who used to live in Chicago and attended All Saints Orthodox Church with us. Now, they live in State College, PA, where Brandon is earning his law degree and Corene is busy raising their three young children: Jude, Abigail, and Ezra. The Swishers met Miles for the first time, and we met Ezra for the first time. These two young lads are two weeks apart (Miles is older). It was so good to see them! Here are some pictures (if you can't figure out which baby is Miles and which baby is Ezra, look at their eyes. Miles' are mostly closed and Ezra's are really open!:)

In case you are wondering what two five-month-old babies do when they get together, here's a video:



Next up for the Hunter family was a surprise visit to Granner and Dee's house to celebrate Dee's 60th birthday! All three Meyer siblings and our spouses and children went to Cincinnati to surprise Dad/Dee. He was certainly surprised and we had a lot of fun, as pictured here:







After all that fun, we continued on to celebrate Miles' six month birthday (January 17) with a half birthday cake. He started eating baby cereal this week and will soon venture into the world of sweet potatoes, avocados, and bananas. Oh to be six months old again, eh? Here are some pictures from his half-birthday . . . and a few others we thought you might like (I'm trying to make up for not having posted for so long, can you tell?)



Needless to say, all this fun makes Miles very . . .
