Election Day Baby?

So the scheduled induction seems to be the most likely birth date with each passing day, assuming all goes well.  We were secretly hoping for a Guy Fawkes baby, and with the full moon and passing weather front, we thought it might happen.  It would've been so easy to remember remember his birthday!

Thanks, Tom, for the lovely photo.

Around here we've been enjoying the fun of friends and family, football, films, feasts and pheasants.  If we can't have baby, we might as well have some unnecessary alliteration.

I think the last one is a pileated woodpecker.  They aren't shy.
