Abby’s first trip to the Zoo
With summer winding down, and hunting season close to kicking into full gear, the wife and I really wanted to do one last - purely for Abby - activity.   Then, one night while reading one of her favorite books, I instantly knew where we were heading - the zoo. Abby loves to read books involving animals, and she loves to name the animals as we read through the books.  She loves all the animal...
Moving stands, checking cams: No outfitter needed!
When I'm watching outdoor television, there is nothing that gets under my skin more than hearing the person in front of the camera say something like this: "Well......we're on our way to Battle Creek Outfitters to hunt for a few days. Jim, of BC Outfitters, has been watching a few bucks during the year, so hopefully we'll have a chance at one of them in the next few days. We're gonna get a sh...
The Aftermath
It rained on July 4th. And while the rain was a welcome relief to the retreating soldiers, as well as the victorious ones, it was not welcomed by the local residents of the little Pennsylvania town.  It came down in sheets, soaking the unburied bodies still on the field - some with hands folded, and others with clenched fists; it inhibited the Army of Northern Virginia's retreat across the Pot...
Nature: Life in Stereo
As the beginning notes of Round Here made contact with my auricles, I was in heaven; I had forgotten how incredible my Bose earphones were.  I could hear every instrument in the song - the chords on the guitar; the intricate timing of the cymbals and snare; the keyboard quietly playing in the background.  It was as if I was experiencing the song for the first time, though I had heard it many tim...
First Show
The SimplyOutdoors' crew had a great time over the weekend - we got to converse with quite a few local Michigan residents, and we had a great time doing so.  It's always fun sharing stories with local hunters - and it was even fun talking with the non-hunters. We were definitely happy to see the weather hold out for us, too.  There was a chance of thunderstorms throughout the entire day, but,...

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.

    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.
