Summer Days

Here we are...June!  We put the pool up and the kids are shivering and turning purple but they are celebrating summer!  It's been a busy few weeks around here with ordinations and a few rounds of company.  But I think we are going to be settling into our typical summer schedule starting next week.  We were able to squeeze one warm and sunny day in at the lake.  Here are the kiddos doing the traditional burial in the sand.

We have a new addition to the farm.  His name is Brisket.  We bought this four day old beauty with another family for beef....hence the name Brisket!  So T-Bone and Brisket are getting to know one another.  I think it will be nice for them to have one another.  T-Bone was getting lonely in the pasture by himself. 

We also hatched our first duck eggs.  Momma duck, Genevieve, hatched 14 of them but we are now down to 6.  We could not figure out what was killing them until today.  The villain....daddy duck! 

Jeffrey is in Scotland and will be home a week from today.  I can't wait to have him home.  Mattie is enjoying her month off and then she will be starting her detasseling job with Jeffrey.  The other kids are just doing what kids do during the summer months.  And I will leave that to you!

Dave and T-Bone, best buddies
