Hello friends, and thanks to everyone who has let me know you are following my blog. I am back from a sabbatical and will now be blogging regularly again.
This weekend we had the pleasure of visiting my parents farm in Franklin, Kentucky. It was a memorable visit on account of the children's response to everything. Elijah is three now, and he showed his new independence by riding away on the four wheelers with his cousins, safely sandwiched between them, but nonetheless taking off with them in a way that showed he was no longer a baby. One of the highlights for him was seeing my parents load some calves into a trailer to haul to the market.
Beatrice was likewise excited by everything, and had her share of riding both the four wheelers and horses. She is now one year old, but still looks much younger because of her petite stature. This made her enthusiasm for riding all the more amusing. She cried pitifully every time we took her off a horse or four wheeler. When riding the four wheeler with her cousins, she waved her arms and shouted gleefully, while her little pink sunhat was flapping in the wind. By the time we left both children were exhausted in a very happy way. Elijah was adorable when he fell asleep with his puppy also sleeping in his lap.
By the way the main purpose of our visit was to get barnwood for Brandon. My parents have alot of old wood from barns they have torn down or restructured. Brandon wants to use this wood to build a tool cabinet. I am excited to see how it will look.
