Welcome Baby!

Beautiful filly!
Hi guys!
Can I have a little kiss?
Wow, she's finally here! Ginger's baby arrived on May 24th at 8:15 am. We had been on foal watch since Sunday night, so we were really glad to finally meet her. 11 months is a long time to wait! She looks just like Ginger with a beautiful blaze and Ginger's rich copper coat. Yesterday she had about 10 visitors in addition to the 12 or 13 folks who have been living at the Dawson's since Sunday. Jessi, Alex, Hannah, Sammie, Amanda, Jessica, Samantha, and Peggy were all present for the delivery in addition to myself and Vicki. We had a couple of little complications, so the vet has already been out for the first visit, but overall, everything is WONDERFUL. I will have pictures up on Flickr in the next day or so, so keep an eye out for those. Thanks for all of y'all's prayers, excitement, and overall encouragement, and a special thanks to Tracy, Keith, Jacqui, Rich, Diane, and Dale, who lent us your children this week. It wouldn't have been the same without them!

Thank you guy's so much for allowing our children to see such an awesome, awe inspiring event, this is probably a once in a lifetime chance for some of these girls and I know Hannah felt very special having witnessed our God's miracles in such a way. I'm a little jealous. Good work Ginger!

Not really an animal person myself, but even I can see the beauty in that little horse. I dig the fact that she looks like her mom, with the white blaze on her face.

It should remind us of the love we have for our own fillys and colts. (Although I've noticed it takes a real "stud" to make a colt. Mark Helton, Steve T, and me. And who has two? That's right. Ahh-hem. Just call me Maverick.)

Looking forward to Sunday! Thanks for letting Amanda be a part of this!
