I'm guessing it's a wolf spider but not sure. Either way, there's about to be many more of them running around.

Yes, Wolf Spider
Nice image!

Yes, that is a female wolf spider and her brood. Unfortunately, most of the "little tikes" won't survive. :(

Someone might be able to ID and confirm it to a genus from this image...
