Walks: Getting Outside Anyway We Can
Sure, a lot of the sidewalks are a muddy mess, and a few of them are quite treacherous - ice-covered and very slick from the snow that has melted during the day and then re-froze at night.  But that hasn't kept the wife, Abby, or myself from enjoying a walk the last couple evenings. It's interesting this time of the year as well.  On one end it's great to see the snow disappearing and the sta...
Michigan’s Changing of the Seasons
I walked out the back door yesterday afternoon - to take out the trash - and I was promptly met by spring.  This weekend the weather has been unbelievable, especially considering that we were ice fishing just last weekend; we hit the 50 degree mark yesterday, and we're supposed to be in the high 40's, low 50's all week this week.  So much for ice fishing, I guess. What I experienced this week...
SOTV: New Youth Video
Head on over to SimpyOutdoors TV and check out the new video we posted. During Michigan's Early Anterless Season last year, Jeff and Tyler G. did their best to fill Tyler's first tag. This early season allowed Tyler to experience all the emotions that come with hunting - the feeling that comes with missing, and then the elation that comes with.........well you'll just have to watch to find out...
A Short Rant
I'm angry!  And that could be the main reason for this post.  I was going to write it last night, but I wanted to think on it for a night first and see if I still felt the same way in the morning........and I do. The long and short of this post is this:  It would be nice if some of our lawmakers, local authority figures, judges, and special interest groups didn't worry so much about "endange...
SOTV: Another New Video
This video features some highlights from a hunt that Jeff and his son, Tyler, went on last year.  They definitely have some close encounters, but you'll have to watch to see if Tyler fills his tag or not. I just love seeing the kids involved in the outdoors.  It's too cool! Click the picture to watch.

Homecoming!

img_2829.jpgThe monkeys were finally let out of the cage last night.  Once we got the test results back, and the nurse let us know that her bilirubin (jaundice) levels were where they wanted them, we busted out the door and never looked back.

I have to say that this whole not really being able to sleep thing is not all it’s cracked up to be.  Everyone warns you about it, but I don’t think anything ever really prepares you for it.  We love every minute of it though.  And we couldn’t think of anything else we would want to keep us up all night.

img_2832.jpgWhen we arrived home last night an instant love affair started as well.  Brock, the SimplyOutdoors mascot, had an instant infatuation with gorgeous little Abigail.  We has been by her side ever since:  during feedings, when she is sleeping, when she is getting her diaper changed, when she is crying.  He adores her and we are happy about that.  He actually adores her so much that sometimes it is almost annoying.  A baby can only take so much dog tongue.

We are home.  We are adjusting. 

It is great to be out of that hospital.

    It sounds like Brock and Abigail will get along about as good as Drake and Lil Sugar do – you can’t ask for more… except maybe that Abigail will say “Dada” before she says “Brock”

    Oh and I agree that not getting any sleep thing is for the birds, unfortunately it doesn’t go away very fast.

  2. Those pictures are too cute. I’m so glad the whole family is home.

    Very sweet and adorable. Congrats all around!

  8. Jen says:

    Those pictures are so cute! They will be great in her baby book too! At least you know Brock will be protective of Abby, that’s a good thing.
    Enjoy every minute of it, they grow up fast!

  9. Jeff says:

    Glad Jen and Abby are home and doing great! Beautiful pictures too…
    And our rat terrier was the exact same way when we brought our boys home. They are pack animals and definitely seem to know that the baby is a very important part of that pack now. You can do anything to the dog and he will tolerate it, but do NOT mess with “his” babies – or he will bite!

  10. Melissa says:

    I think she looks quite a bit like me as a baby! ;) ;) Hey we both looked a lot alike! =) Shes adorable!!!

  11. [...] Congrats to Arthur and his wife for the new arrival of little Abigail – She’s adorable in her pink! [...]

  12. Look at all her hair!!! She is a cutie and I love all the pink with froggies.
