Introducing Ava Kathryn Schmitz...

[The_Duckslayer]

...my grand daughter. She arrived sunday at 17:37 weighing 6 Lbs 9 Oz and a whopping 19 inches long. And in my humble opinion (which might just be skewed a bit) she is gorgeous! Our first grandchild!!! All of about 2 hours old! Now that she is older the little dent in her nose from the birthing process is gone...

I give up, I can't find the right code to just put the dang picture here! Take care././Jimbo

Yup! Hunting too!!! My son is thinking of getting her a lifetime license actually! Think he said they were only 300 and some bucks... not a bad deal unless she really cant stand hunting or fishing!

Again, thanks for all the kind words. Take care and N Joy the Hunt././Jimbo
