Blog of the Month

I have decided to start supporting my "local" bloggers! I received the nicest email from a blog follower complimenting me on my blog and offering to exchange links. I've been mulling over the possibility of doing a spotlight blog post recently and saw this as the perfect opportunity to combine a "blog of the month" and a give away!

BLOG OF THE MONTH


Go over and check it out! She has a market full of goodies that I want! I'm ordering an Amish made egg (tulip) basket just for me and I'm giving one away too!


I love egg baskets! There's something just so country about them!

My Baby

My baby turned 5 today!

And I can't believe it.
Where does the time go?
He's growing up way too fast!

Oh Baby, Baby, Baby!

We got three......
BOYS!


Not a single girl in the bunch but I'm still proud of all three of them and momma did great!


Labor and Delivery nurse was on duty but my assistance was not needed! Well not until I got to snuggle them anyway!


The rest of the family thinks they are pretty sweet as well!


Awwww, my man holding a baby goat...makes me smile!


Jake's just a little bit proud of them too!


Everyone is nursing and it's going great so far.


We'll keep an eye on these little guys and make sure they all get enough milk. If not, I have bottle supplies on hand but I would rather momma do the work!
Luke's just happy they got here in time for his birthday party on Sunday! He can't wait to show them off.

Donkey Love

Could he possibly be any cuter??


Only when he does this!



We spent part of the day brushing and scratching and loving on Dimple.
The boys love him...


And he loves them.


He and Jake play this little game where Jake loves and pets him....


Then he stops....


Dimple takes his big, soft nose and nudges and nudges until Jake loves him again!


And then everyone is happy!!

Sampson (AKA Red)

Red spent a few days fighting to recovery from what I assume was an attack by the gander but didn't make it.


It makes me very sad to lose Red. He started out as Sampson but quickly became known as Red and was loved by all of us.


He was a gently giant with the boys. They could could even pick him up and carry him around.


They loved to feed him food from their hands.


Yet, he was fearless when it came to protecting his ladies!


He will be missed! It's hard to find a good rooster!!
