The Dairy Farm

Earlier this week we made our way to a semi-local Dairy Farm to see where milk comes from and try some RAW milk. 

The Dairy farm had so much more to offer. 

There were fresh calves there to pet and so many other animals too.  Take it from experience though you have to watch out for those calves!  They think everything is a source of food so -A- got slimed on the cheek while the other latched on to one of my fingers like there was no tomorrow and it did not care that it was not meant to produce milk, MILK was going to come out, just so long as it sucked long and hard enough, HA!  -N- was quite content to pet said calf as it was preoccupied trying to milk my finger and all.

My grandmother joined us for the trip and I was able to capture some magical moments with her Great grandchildren.

Happy Thanksgiving!

So as the holidays begin to role around I drop deep into the crafting world to figure what to make and this year I intend to have something homemade for each member of the family.  So I even have -B- in on the process with a list of projects for him to work on too.

This also means fewer pictures get taken and more time is spent being creative.  I aways have great plans to take pictures on Thanksgiving but some how the fun with family and all that yummy food tend to get in the way and I never even break the camera out of it's case, so unless we are with -B-'s family relaxing in IL we never have photographically documented proof of the day.

This year we were with my family and my parents made a decision to travel to Ohio to spend it with my younger brother.  We ended up heading over to my Aunt and Uncle's house with my grandmother to enjoy our good eats over there and boy oh boy were they YUMMY!

However, at the end of last week -N-'s school had their Thanksgiving festivities and I did remember to break out the camera for some candids there, so I'll share those instead...

-N- shared his yummy cupcake, which -A- was very THANKFUL to enjoy too!

And this is Mrs. "B", -N-s wonderful teacher, whom we Love.

Happy Thanksgiving All!

An Introduction is in Order

So without further ado, we woud like to introduce the third baby G!  We are expecting, and this little one should be arriving at the beginning of next summer, due to arrive June 15th.

Quite a few of our family members, friends and well, just about anyone we have shared the good news with has decided that this little bundle of joy is going to be a Girl, but only time will tell.

Here is the little peanut's first snapshot...taken October 21, 2009, at 6 wks and 2 days gestation.

-N- is beyond words with excitement and has decided that he wold like to have one little brother and one little sister.  -A- is rather unaware at this point which works for now.

-B- and I are super excited and have decided that 3 is the magic number for us, so whether this one is a boy or girl does not matter, our family will be complete.

Pure Silliness~

These two boys have become quite the pair! I don't really stand a chance anymore as the conspiring has already begun! When one little mess is clean I am quickly taken right to the next. One of the most amazing sounds that comes from all of it has got to be the laughter though.

Seriously, how can I explain to -N- that he has to stop "fill in the blank" when -A- is belly laughing as he does "fill in the blank". Who cares if it could hurt or mame, really he'll only stop laughing to cry or stop breathing!

But there are pure moments of joy wrapped up in all the other moments when you find them like this...

in a state of PURE Silliness!
