Welcome to Baby Saige

....

Our Newest Family Member

Baby Saige arrived tonight at 9:09. Mother, baby, and new Grandpa are all doing fine.
More than fine, really. Saige was alert, yawning, eyes open, and -- the first time I ever
knew a newborn to do this -- cooing.

Welcome, Saige!

My Crazy Brother

"My Crazy Brother"
with a Western Diamondback Rattler!
West Odessa, Texas

I was not happy taking this picture let me assure you, but it was the only way Casey would leave and come back to where I was. I was 100 feet away. I am the one with sense in the family.

However, Casey did get an awesome shot that we will be posting on his blog later. As he darn well should have, seeing as how he shaved off 5 years of my life while I had to watch him take pictures of a 4 foot, 3 inch wide Western Diamondback Rattlesnake.
