Ella was baptized last weekend and we were lucky to have everyone join us afterwards for dinner. Thanks for making the trip to Rice Lake! Ella was beautiful in the dress Grandma Pam bought (Grace, Lucy, and Lauren all wore the same dress). And she was wide awake and didn't mind the water at all during the service. She really is a happy baby when she isn't crying- haha!

Dan shot a deer this year... his first one since we met a long time ago (too lazy to do the math right now, forgive me!). Anyway, in his defense, he usually hunts a total of two days a year, and has never really wanted one because he prefers beef over venison (shock!). Well this year he promised he was going to get a deer so we could make summer sausage, a favorite of mine, and soon becoming one of Lauren's. So without further ado, here is Dan's deer... I am convinced he shot this opening day due to Lauren's apparel... her festive deer shirt, and the deer pjs she wore to bed on Deer Hunter's Eve!
And when things seem a little too quiet, I can usually find Lauren hanging out with Mischa. It is so funny the way she cuddles right up to her. Here she was sharing M&Ms from her Halloween loot, other times she is reading Mischa a book or putting beads around Mischa's neck.
