Micah is growing!


Micah is sure growing! He is now 2 1/2 months old and he has already doubled his birth weight! He weighs 15 pounds! We love him to death! (ok, more like forever) He is such a good baby! He is happy most of the time and we love to make him smile and laugh! Every ounce of pain to get him here was worth it! When I look at Adam and my other kids and then look at Micah, I realize how fast time goes and kids grow up so fast, so we are enjoying every moment with Micah. I'm sorry to all my family and Chris' that we moved so far away and that you cannot hold or "squish" (as Chris' family would say) little Micah. I know he loves a good "squishing."

Produce from our garden


We grew a large garden this year, probably our biggest garden yet! We enjoyed the fruits from our labors. We were somewhat limited as to what we could grow this year because we planted late in the season. Veggies we grew this year included: bell peppers, tomatoes (5 different varieties), zucchini, summer squash, eggplant, beans and okra. We gave a lot away and also canned and froze some. Probably one of the best parts about our land is that we have 2 large pecan trees and several black walnut trees.

This one was hiding.

New Addition "Columbus The Duck"



We have a new addition to the farm, his name is Columbus. Adam named him. He was given to us by a friend together with three hens and a rooster. Columbus makes a nice addition to our farm. We like him. I love hearing his quack, it is a new sound from the familiar "Cluck, Meow, Mooo, and Cock-a-doodle-doo."

Happy Birthday to Stacy!



We spent my birthday with some friends who are members that live by us. There names are Janet and Gary. We ate heart kabobs with vegies and rice. It was a gormet meal!
