Elk Hunting Success . . .

  Jordan made it home on Wednesday from Elk hunting. He got a 4x5!! That's huge. He was and still is super excited. His first big animal kill. He said he got it on opening day about an hour into the hunt. It ended up taking them 6 hours to pack it out. He said it dressed out at 368 pounds so even heavier when they were packing it. My dad also got one, his is a spike, but still pretty big at 270 pounds dressed out. Way to go guys!! Jordan and TJ came home early, but the rest of the guys stayed to try and get some more. Jordan is super pumped about mounting it and eating it. Elk steaks all around!!



  I'm so glad Jordan is home. It was fun going out to dinner and shopping with my mom the whole time he was gone, but I was ready for him to be home. I was excited to see if he thought Austyn had grown since he'd left last Wednesday. And he was amazed at how she had changed. It will be nice to get into some kind of daily routine now that the corn maze is over and he's home from hunting. It seems like since Austyn's been born we have literally been on the go the entire time. I can honestly say we haven't stayed home one whole day, besides the first few days after coming home from the hospital.

  Austyn is doing great still. She has begun to sleep for 7 hours at night. Sometimes she'll even sleep for 8 hours. Makes for a happy mommy. She still loves her baths. And loves to be on the go. Good thing because I don't think she has much choice in the matter. Everyday seems to get a little easier than the last. I don't get so anxious at night anymore or when we go to a restaurant or store (I still do a little bit). Life is good!! Couldn't ask for anything better. She had her 2 month check up on Thursday and weighed 11 lbs. 5 oz., was 23 1/2 in., and her head was 15 in. She is in the 80% for her height, 65% for her weight, and 70% for her head. The doctor said she is going to tower over me. Everything else was great. They had ran out of shots so we have to go back in a month for those : ( It is so much fun watching her grow and change everyday. She has started talking so much. It entertains me for hours.







  Everything else is going great. Can't wait for Turkey Day!!
