Parents Coming Up

This weekend should be pretty cool. My Mom and Dad are coming up so that my Dad and I can go deer hunting. I bought a trip at an auction for the American Liver Foundation a few months ago. We were at an ALF golfing fundraiser and my bidding disorder got the best of me. I honestly don’t think I’ve ever been to an auction (either regular style or silent) and come out without winning anything.

Anyway, I bid on this deer hunt and won. After I won, I thought that I should have never bid. After all, the hunt is in Tennessee. I don’t have a Tennessee License since I do all my hunting in Mississippi. I ended up calling the guy who donated the hunt and he told me to bring along my Dad. Dad sounded interested so here we are. We’re going on a hunt in Tennessee.

The guy that is taking us is named Jim. He is one of the nicest people I think I’ve spoken with in a while. He is much more concerned about us having a good time than he is with the amount of time and effort he’ll have to put into the hunt. He’s offered to move dates multiple times and even offered to take us back out another weekend. He’s a really stand up guy, from what I’ve heard on the phone. I can’t wait to meet him in person.

Laura is continuing to get thicker! We’ve got to get some new pictures soon. She is visibly growing every couple of days. It is so exciting. The other night I woke up in the middle of the night. I looked over at her and saw her belly jumping. I ended up waking her up by putting my hand on her stomach to feel Haley. For some reason around 4 a.m. she starts kicking like mad. I guess I’d better start setting an alarm to get used to waking up at 4. Apparently Haley likes it.

I finished up the crib this weekend. I was able to go from boards to crib (which you see in the pictures above) in about 4 months. Not bad considering that it was during football season. I’m guessing I probably have about 80 hours in it. Maybe a little more. Below are pictures of how it started and how it ended up. More pictures of the crib and the pregnancy can be seen in the photo gallery. We’ll be getting to see Haley in 4D on Tuesday so stay tuned for more pictures soon! Hopefully I’ll have tales of the biggest deer you’ve ever seen!
