She weighs 7 Ibs and was 21 inches long. She has more hair than any of my other babies and it is black! It is mostly on the back of her head, so hard to see in the pictures. We are so excited to be home and enjoying this new little bundle of joy!



The girls wore them to church 2 weeks ago for their program. I was going to make them wait until the Sunday before Christmas to wear them again, but decided what the heck. What good is a dress if you only wear it 10-12 times? I found their cute flowers in their hair at the Mistletoe Mall last weekend. the one in Aly's hair is really growing on me, I wasn't so sure about it at first. It has a red, black, and silver flower, with black and white polka dot feathers. The others are just red flowers with cute buttons in the center.
Ainsley was begging Will yesterday to put up the Christmas tree. Then last night we went shopping at Wal-Mart and they had one up. She decided to create a song to help plead her case, since Christmas trees were going up "everywhere". I told her that if we put the tree up now we would just end up having to dust it. She didn't care. She said, "Thats ok, we dust everything else." We listened to her song from Richfield to Glenwood before we had to shut her tune down.

This is the trophy for the year! Will called tonight so excited. He wanted all of us to bring the truck out to get his buck. I think he really just couldn't get a hold of his dad and need me to go find him. He was so excited that I couldn't understand him. We loaded up and headed along the eastside. Good thing we had Tom, there was no way that I could help Will lift it and well, to be honest, Will couldn't do it alone...
They got the deer back up to the truck and we headed home. This post is mostly for our family that we got all rallied up for the buck!!! Ok I am kidding, that is not the deer Will shot...
I just posted that picture for Gary and Josh. That buck belongs to one of them and I knew they would be missing it. Plus I wanted to rub it in when they got a look at this one...

I am pretty sure that Will's permagrin is missing because he was trying to get the right position and I just took the picture. But take my word for it, there is a permagrin. Tom is estimating that it will last a year.

I don't really know how big it is...seriously...I spend my hunts in better places doing better things like shopping!
