Serious Happenings

Josiah and Stennes were honored with an invitation to Georgia's Commissioner of Agriculture Gary Black's (in the center below) private barn in north Georgia for a cook-out / press conference. They were two of ten 4-H students chosen from the whole state, and they were the only two invited from the same county! What an honor! They had a great time rubbing elbows with agriculture "big wigs"!

Anders has been helping Pop finish up some oxen yokes and other "shop" jobs.

Pop and ChubChub have been working on pens such as these in the photo below. Aren't they beautiful?

Finishing Our Week

ChubChub turned his first pen on the lathe while Pop watched and instructed. He's pretty proud of himself!

 

Spring Break Week

We had a gentle Spring Break with lots of visitors and hard work at the U-Pick. Stennes is now 18, so we've turned another corner in our family.

 Branch and his friend Seth decided to test out the 4-wheelers and the mud. This is pretty much what most of our Spring Break looked like...

 

This Past Week

Anders was able to bring home two more large turkeys for the freezer, making a total of three this season. Our neighbor smoked them, and they are now de-boned and waiting for just the right recipe. He's a good hunter.

The Girl and ChubChub had their first soccer game of the season. They won 1-0!! It's a good beginning, anyway...

Wednesday

The Girl made a few trays of chocolate chip cookies because we...well, just because we wanted some!

ChubChub is doing well in his Spanish reading.

And he FINALLY learned how to read in English!!

The Girl is very diligent in her schoolwork.

Busy days teaching; Josiah won a tennis match yesterday, and he's running in a track meet today; Anders comes and goes in his hunting; Branch is re-working the chicken pens with Pop; Stennes is always busy at work; and so life goes on...

Yummy for my Tummy!

Bread and two trays of cinnamon rolls on the way...

Soccer Again

The Girl and ChubChub are on the same team this year with one of our favorite coaches. Looking forward to another season of busy nights and fun times!
