Maddie and me on the hunt

Here's a picture of Maddie and me on the hunt...only two weeks old and she's already to kill. I bet not even Joe had Brian out to hunt this early. Early nomination for Father of the Year I'm sure.

Haha...just joking. Actually, my crazy brother-in-law had a bunch of his friends over and they all brought their deerheads to show off...really strange if you ask me. Hunters are crazy.

Madison Suzanne is finally here

Madison Suzanne was born on Saturday, August 7th at 12:34am. She was 8 lb 10 oz and 20.5 inches long. Kari and MaddieSue are doing great. Here are some photos:
