I start my new position in St. Albans, Vermont on Aug. 6th. Looking forward to living where there are seasons, though for a guy who has, since the age of 4, lived in either south central Arizona, southern California, or Hawaii, the winters should be interesting.

Yes. That was the amazing part. She just stood there. I had to whistle at her to get her to look up.

Yes, it is. I've seen many in the yard, but I still enjoy watching them.

Yes, it was just a camera. I have been deer hunting twice in my life. Both times, I realized that I wasn't going to be able to shoot one.

I'm amazed you could such a clear photo.  Don't they usually dash off?

You know I believe she is. She is skinny along the backbone. I guess a lot of her food is going to the baby. She surely has plenty. You are such a treasure as a father and husband. The apparent little things you make so special and they will never forget them. I am so glad you are back.

This kind of "good medicine" is what I hope to see a lot of once we've moved to Vermont!

When I read this the first time I thought, OMG! Tell me he didn't just take a shot at a pregnant deer! (with a rifle)...thank goodness it was only a camera, lol.
