"Can we keep it???"

Yes, you're seeing correctly - that is a baby deer in Chad's truck!! Friday night I was out weeding the garden after mowing and the kids came running up to me to show me this baby deer stumbling through the field who was crying for his mother. We watched it run in to the neighbors grove of trees and proceeded on with our activities. About 20 minutes later, while I had Kale in the tub, Chad comes downstairs holding the baby deer. The neighbors dog was playing with it so Chad decided that maybe he should take it to a local person who raises deer. By the scratches it had, we think it was probably tangled up in something and that the mother was probably mangled in it as well or hit by a car. Such a fun moment for the kids though!!!



Thank you to everyone for the cards, calls, emails, etc. for my birthday. We spent the night on Saturday night in downtown Minneapolis doing a crawl for cancer event. Such a fun night with a really fun group of people!!! I spent my birthday on Sunday sleeping in, doing some shopping, and not cooking a meal! Doesn't get much better than that!!! It was nice to get home to the kids, though, so I could spend the evening cuddling with them.
