Update from Kerrville

It's not all candy-talk and bagel-complainin' in our family. Thankfully there are a few people that actually lead constructive and interesting lives. The leader of this interesting, do-good team is my grandfather, Gaddy. Gaddy lives on a ranch in Kerrville, Texas. Because Gaddy is one of those super-capable manly-men, it was no surprise to us that he had rescued a fawn this summer. The fawn was nicknamed "BABY DEER!!!" (you have to scream it) by toddler Jocelyn who was, suffice it to say, more than a little enchanted by BABY DEER! I think it's name at the time was also Lash, but no one really called it that. From a family who had cats named Little Kitty and Big Kitty, can you really expect more creative animal names?

This was BABY DEER in June 2010. He was living in Gaddy's fenced in back yard area and would sleep in Gaddy's bedroom. It was about the cutest thing in the world.

Bigs feeding BABY DEER! Can you handle the cuteness?

We had been wondering about the status of BABY DEER over the last few months, but were almost afraid to ask lest Gaddy let it go. We hate goodbyes. So imagine how thrilled we were to receive a video update from our cousin Elizabeth on the status of BABY DEER! This is my first effort to upload from youtube, so my apologies if it doesn't work.

According to Elizabeth, BABY DEER has full access to the house and was seen begging for food during dinner. I can't stand it. I also can't wait to see how this all plays out. I count on my Texas cousins to keep the updates coming!
