Introducing.....




Baby #4!!! Another boy!!! Otis and I (and Sydney) traveled to Pittsburgh to get a 3D/4D ultrasound last week. We had a great experience and loved seeing the little guy. We got some good footage and photos even though he was trying not to cooperate by turning his back and pushing his face up against me. That's why his face isn't all that clear, but I still think the pictures turned out pretty cool.

New Kids on the Farm

Well our dairy goat had her babies on Tuesday. She had a buckling and a doeling and the kids named them Shadow (he's all black) and Clover (they were born the night before St Patrick's Day). They are very healthy and are quite funny. The little doeling loves to climb on the kids, she is more outgoing than her brother. The kids have had a blast with them and love to head down to the barn to check them out. We are looking forward to starting to milk again next week so we'll have fresh yummy milk (and yes, it tastes identical to cow's milk) to go along with our farm fresh eggs. I can't wait to get our garden in this spring also, it seems every year we plant more veggies and the kids love to help plant, harvest, and especially eat! I'm planning on trying my hand at canning, but we'll see if I have time with the new baby! Here are a few pictures of the kids playing with the new goat kids.

More wrestlng fun

Well I had my first experience as a wrestling "coach" two weekends ago. Otis had to work so Heidi and I decided to take Kenny and Noah to a tournament in Loudonville. Needless to say we were the only Moms there that were also coaching on the mats! Thankfully Heidi did most of the yelling, I don't feel confident enough in my knowledge of the sport yet, and my voice was pretty much gone from having a cold. Well, we did a pretty good job because both boys won 2nd place!! We were pretty proud to say the least haha! Here are a few pics of the day.
