Samuel celebrates 1 year!

How blessed we are to celebrate one year with this God-given boy. We are so filled with joy as we watch him grow and become independent. Samuel is an outdoor boy who will shot anyone with anything and yet loves to snuggle with "his" girls.

Flying High

We played with Barry Damings "toys" this weekend. Oh the joy of flying high. Kristina was standing by with a quickly beating heart. Steve egged them on!

A Dead What?

We watched the Micro Dairy Farm again this weekend. It is wonderful (and hard) to work the land and animals. Steve and children were driving the truck to deliver hay to the cows when they spotted this dead chicken. The immediate thought of everyone was to dissect it. Out came the scalpel and the children crowded around. We had not an inkling of how to do it so we just started cutting. The feathers were difficult to pull out, but Claudia managed to pull some. We then sliced the body open and cut the ribs. We lost the little ones only because we took so long. Grace and Claudia persevered and were able to see the yolks in the chicken before they had formed into eggs. How marvelous! Homeschooling is a joy and provides so many opportunities to experience God's creation.
