In addition to the addition of Hudson, we have another baby of the four-legged variety that has finally decided to make its debut. The doe who we've been spending a generous amount of dough on this summer in the form of corn (of which prices have skyrocketed thanks to ethenol) decided it was finally safe to allow her little baby out in the open for a snack and a few photo opps. They usually arrive in our backyard each evening around dusk.
Almost One Year Later...

Well, I thought I might take a stab at blogging again since nearly one year has past since my last blog posting. I will try to post a bit more frequently in 2008.
To say that our little family has underwent a few changes this year is an understatement. The biggest and happiest change has of course been the addition of a little Claggett, Hudson Neal.
I still haven't ordered announcements yet, so I may just let this blog serve as an informal announcement. It took me eight-plus weeks to get out thank you cards for meals and gifts after he was born, so I'm afraid the announcements might not make it out until he's six months old...
So, now you've guessed Hudson is the real reason I've decided to revive this blog. He was born on May 28, 2008 weighing 8 lbs., 5 ozs. and measuring 21 inches long. Today was his two-month appointment and he now weighs 11 lbs., 12 ozs., and measures 23 1/2 inches long. He is perfectly healthy and very, very sweet. He's a happy little baby who only cries when he's hungry or has a bit of colic in the evenings.
Those commericals are right when they say "Having a baby changes everything." Our lives now revolve around this little guy, and after nearly seven years of it just being "us," Chris and I are perfectly happy with this new normal.
