"Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine...to him be glory...for ever and ever!" (Ephesians 3:20-21)

Elmer Fudd
T's Daddy decided that this was the year to usher him in to the world of blaze orange and deer hunts. Well, let me clarify. T did not actually accompany M on his annual hunt but he was gifted his very first rifle (pretend, of course), as well as his very own orange gear. He quickly received a lesson in gun safety - with the first and most important rule being, you never point your gun at people - and so far, he has abided by the rules quite consistently while out hunting for deer. It's amazing how many does and bucks are roaming around our house! Well, I guess they're not roaming around for very long - we've got quite a sharp shooter on our hands :) I'll admit, I'm working at being comfortable with having a toy gun in the house, but as long as it remains a tool for hunting animals and not a weapon of mass destruction, I guess I'm OK with it. And as long as I don't have to cook any of his pretend dead deer or hang any pretend antlers in my living room, I think I'll make it through this year's hunting season.

Ha!! Your Pake is so proud of you,T. Have to say I'm with mom as far as the cooking and antler thing. Love you, Beppe
Super cute - Gramps is proud of you, too. You really are working hard to sight in that deer. Gramps and Uncle Arivd left the big buck out there for next year :). Grams
I totally understand how you feel with the gun concept. I used to cover Tim's eyes so he wouldn't see one. Nowadays, you can find any of our 4 children shooting squirrels, their siblings or the neighbors while playing war... For the record, we also had that talk about only shooting animals. :)
T-you would fit right in down here in Arkansas!
