Tis the Season...for the Hunter.

Well, I'm happy to say that I shot a buck this year...unfortunately, it wasn't quite as big as I was hoping for.  You might say that it experienced a bit of ground shrinkage.  My wonderful family has given me quite a bit of grief about shooting a baby, however, in my defense, I only had a few seconds to decide to pull the trigger and I did make a running shot.   On the down side, my father, my ten year old niece, and my 6 year old nephew all shot considerably bigger deer then me....To add salt to a wound, Tiffany, my obnoxiously lucky sister, shot the most unusual buck I've ever seen.  Oh well, at least I put meat on the table, which is more then my husband can say:)

October Craziness...

A lot has gone on this October and I have about a million pictures to prove it.  Here are just a few to show you how cute my kid is....

We can't always be happy...

But we are happy quite a lot.

May the Force Be With You...

Halloween was quite an affair this year for the Wedel's. Master Eli conquered the force and rolled over for the first time ever.  Although he actually did it the first time at daycare earlier in the day, he promptly realized his massive mistate of not performing for his mama.  He corrected the injustice by showing off his new skill for the entire Wedel gang.  We even got it on video.

Although rolling over was a very important milestone in our household, it wasn't the most important thing that happened this happy Halloween day.  My brother and sister-in-law finalized the adoption of their daughter Ellie.  We are so excited that she is officially and forever a Wedel.  We went over to Rebecca's sister's house for a celebration.  All the kids dressed in their costumes and went trick-or-treating.  It was so much fun and the perfect way to spend Eli's first Halloween.
