WELCOME!

Thank you for taking the time to visit "Deer Baby,". This blog has been created to document our experiences during our first pregnancy and to share them all with our family and friends and ultimately with baby when he/she gets older.  We are excited to announce that our family of 4 will become a family of 5 in October this year!

SCOUT

ABOUT US: Will and I can be described as outdoor lovers. We enjoy spending time outside whatever the purpose may be: for leisure, projects, or exercise. Most of Will's time is spent working on the "Honey-Do" list I have for him ;).  You can find me doing some sort of craft in my spare time. We both enjoy doing house projects, and I'll have to say Will is quite the handyman. He sure does stay busy...he's not cutting wood with his new chainsaw for our wood furnace, he's installing wood floor into our new home, or burning our many piles of dead trees and brush. Or, if you can't find him anywhere, better check the creek in our back yard...he loves to go for a dip now and then on a hot summer day. We're loving our new home, we moved in July 2012. We live on a dirt road at at dead end, on 2.5 acres, which is surrounded by 10 acres of our neighbor's property. So, it's pretty peaceful and so beautiful. It's been fun seeing most of the seasons our first year. Will is full time in the Army, which brings in a lot of benefits, along with some stressors like every military family has. We experienced our first deployment between Sept 2010 and Aug 2011. I kept myself busy during that time and ran my first marathon. I'm sure you'll learn more about us through this blog! We've been through many changes this past year, which has been challenging for us but we keep growing closer together. We're pretty excited to start this exciting new chapter in our lives and share it all with our family and friends :)
