Winter seemed to be going ok, and it almost felt like it was going to be a semi-smooth drive out to February until yesterday came, and we got dumped on with about a foot of snow. We are hoping to go down to southern Ohio or Kentucky for a few days to run dogs sometime this month. Other than that, just trying to stay warm through the lovely west Michigan winter. My wife and I are also expecting our first child on May 2 this spring, and we are really excited, with a busy year ahead of us, as she is also finishing medical school this spring and starting her residency in July. Below she is pictured with Fricke N Coco as a puppy.

North Dakota sunset makes me wish it was at least spring, if not hunting season, something to warm up a day however you look at it.
