Hey! Time to sell some stuff. Bear is growing up and has outgrown a few items. Also selling a Fenix Headlight. (I can't get used to the cord- otherwise it's stellar. At 6'6" I can't tilt my head down when the powerpack is on my belt) First- Deuter Kid Comfort 3.- $230 Details can be found here: http://www.deuter.com/US/us/kids/kid-comfort-3-46534-black-grey.html Awesome baby backpack. He just doesn't fit. Used about ten times- no rips or stains. Great condition. Second: Portable Baby Crib Guave Lotus Travel Crib (with deluxe sheet/mattress, which was purchased seperately) $150 Details here: https://www.guavafamily.com/pages/travel-crib Lightweight and portable with a backpack box for travel. Third: Fenix HP30R Headlight. $85. It's a beast. Has battery pack attachment which can also charge other USB devices in the field. I think it might be Fenix's strongest headlight- not sure. Charged about 20x. Comes with original box. https://www.fenixlighting.com/product/fenix-hp30r-rechargeable-headlamp/ Thanks for reading. (The pics are sideways- I give up trying to get it righted)

I'm laying here in the hospital bed looking over at my beautiful wife and even more beautiful new baby daughter Ariel! We all thought with earlier complications that Ariel would come earlier but she appearantly got cozy in there and lasted 2 days shy of 40 weeks! She is absolutely perfect and i can't believe God trusted me with her, i won't let him down! Thanks again everyone for the kind thoughts and prayers!

Howdy all! I've been wanting to post something for a long time now but as you'll soon learn priorities for me have changed drastically these past 37 weeks! As some of you have noticed, I haven't been on here near as much as I used to. I'm always checking in via my phone but rarely can take the time to sit down at the computer and log in. I wanted to apologize again to those who have received late reply's to emails and PM's, thanks for your understanding! Brief background… My wife and I have always thought having kids of our own was not a possibility, we didn't go thru all the tests with the doctors but enough to know odds were stacked against us. We both felt adoption must be God's plan for us so that was the road we were getting ready to go down, but then she got pregnant last December!!! We were SO excited, but unfortunately our excitement lasted just several weeks and she had a miscarriage. Losing that opportunity was devastating for us both as we felt it may have been our one shot at it. With new hope that at least it was possible for us to get pregnant, our Doctor put us on meds and a schedule and in no time, 36 weeks and 4 days ago we got pregnant again! This time everything has been perfect, with the exception of some pre term contraction issues back in November which put ALL of my hunting on hold, but it's been worth it! So basically, for those that have wondered where I've been, I've been watching life make an AMAZING change! I'm extremely excited, extremely scared, and extremely blessed all in the same moment! The due date is Feb. 5th but the Doc recently said the baby is in position to come any day and if so everything will be fine!!! We are having a girl and her name will be "Ariel". We decided on that name because it means "Lion of God", or a person who brings people to God and she has definitely brought my wife and I closer to God and are so appreciative and blessed! So there it is, I'm still around and soon I'll be blowing up this site with "Proud Papa" posts and stories about this next chapter in my life! Thanks all and hope this next year is a great one for everyone! JIM> Here's my favorite recent pic, Drake seems to know what's up, he's gonna be a great "Big Brother"!

This is a little late but we had some close encounters with Javelina in December while scouting for our archery and rifle hunts. And this is with the Nikon D40 18-55mm lense so no real zooming here. A little scary being this close to mamma. Hope you enjoyed
