The Barkdust Party

Who would have thought that “Barkdust” and “Party” would be in the same sentence??  Well as the saying goes, “Many hands make light work.”  So when the semi truck pulled up and dumped a full load of barkdust onto the farm…the phone calls started.  “HELP!!!  We have wedding barkdust to spread…can you make it?”

A Happy Birthday to my Sis!

Happy Birthday to my Sister Jill!!  We got to celebrate her a bit yesterday, but I just wanted her to know that I love her and am so proud of the incredible mom she has become!  It’s obvious when you see her with her 2 kiddos that she has a very happy family 🙂

202So here’s to you Sis!!  Even though we don’t usually look alike (although in his picture we strangely look a bit similar!), and although growing up we were completely different people in pretty much every way possible, I’m glad that we’ve grown into friends!!  Thanks for all you do for your family, for our family, and for everyone else in your life, we’re a lucky bunch!  Love you!

I would like to Introduce…

My new little niece, Gwen Elizabeth!  I’ve always said that farming isn’t just about the business, it’s also a lot about family and a legacy to pass on for the future.  So here is the latest addition to our family’s next generation!!

IMAG1096aGwen was born on March 3rd, at 3:32am.  She weighed in at 8lbs, 12oz and 20 inches long.  This might seem like a big baby, but she’s nothing compared to her mom, aunt and uncle.  We all weighed in at a whopping 9.9, 10.12, and 9.9 respectively!!
