When Scout arrived

Oh, boy!  

A 9.5 pound treat just after midnight on Halloween 1995.

 We had a "birthday party" and invited Big Bro and Big Sis...

 ...and they got the presents - no Trick or Treating that year!

 

 Firstborn got a hands-on lesson in how to play with and hold his little brother.

 

 When mom and dad weren't toting him around!

 

 Our first "family of five" portrait shows tired parents, 
and playful siblings acting up for the camera.

 

Happy Birthday, Scout!  

We were so excited to welcome you,
and so glad you are part of our family!
