It’s that time of year again. The time of year when the boys don their camo, grab their hunting bows and set off into the woods, hoping to not come home empty handed. Between an ailing back and a move to a new corporate office for the company he works for, Joel hasn’t been extremely available for hunting. But he and Andrew have managed to get a few hunting excursions in so far this fall. Unfortunately, they have come home empty handed each time, but I believe that sitting in a tree stand for several hours – father and son – is about so much more than the deer.
Last Sunday when Andrew was talking about going out to the stand, Joel asked Andrew if he wanted him to come along. Andrew’s response was so precious … “Oh yeah, Dad! I’d love for you to come with me!”
Whether they get a deer or not, I just love that they get to spend that special time together … just sitting near each other, whispering about things that really matter.
The above picture is my personal favorite. Andrew had to borrow Joel’s overalls, but because they were too big, we had to use a clip to make them fit. It reminds me that even though Andrew is growing up way too fast, in some ways he’s still just our little boy!

ReplyDeleteSounds like a fun time together! Hope they come back with a big one!
ReplyDeleteWhat a nice tribute to the men in your life. That 3rd shot is my favorite-- just priceless! My husband has donned his camo, too, and is taking in the beauty of the big woods.
ReplyDeleteSuch great shots of them in their camo! My guys haven't donned theirs yet this season. I'm thinking about going with them once this season with my camera in hand. Apparently they see all kinds of little critters while they're in the stand.
