Believe it OR Not...

Yesterday morning I got up about 7:30. Beth and John Luke were coming, so I poured some coffee and was going to straighten up my living room. All of a sudden, I saw something huge running through my backyard. When I looked, it was none other than a big deer. I ran to the front window, and it stood still across the street for a minute. OF COURSE, I wanted to get a picture of this deer, so I ran to get my camera. As soon as I came back, it ran away...I did see it cross back over the road in a few minutes though.
Anyway...I was excited! I knew Walker would be too, so when he got home last night, I told him the story. Walker, Sawyer and I had to go see if we could find the deer tracks that it left. We walked around a good 15 minutes looking for a track. We didn't see any, so Walker (very lovingly) KEPT telling me that I'd made this whole story up.
Well....probably about 30 minutes after we had rewalked the deer's path, Sawyer was in the pool and Walker was playing basketball with their backs to the woods. I was sitting under the fans on the back porch (like a lazy pregnant girl). WHEN....ALL OF A SUDDEN...That deer hops over the fence in our backyard. I told Walker to look-and sure enough-he and Sawyer saw it too! It quickly jumped back over...but it was exciting while it lasted. Sawyer said, "more-more!"
Now I didn't actually grow up "in town" but we NEVER had a deer, turkey or armadillo in our backyard. So, all of this is a little exciting to me! :)

John Luke and Beth arrived about 8:30. WE HAD A FANTASTIC TIME with them! Her camera is about 50x's better than mine, so if you want to see all her pictures, CLICK HERE. I'll add a few of these sweet friends. Sawyer and John Luke are SO SWEET playing together! They are both such fun, sweet boys! I'm glad they have each other! Just wish we still got to see them all the time!



Don't they look like they love each other?!?!
