The Barn!






Our house didn't have a barn with it, so we had to have one built. It was quite a process, but thanks to Jeremy's hard work and planning, it all came together beautifully.  Ben from The Shed Yard ended up building it for us and we were not disappointed. He worked hard, was such a nice guy and we were super impressed. We love our barn!

One of my Favorite Days so far . . .


Ready to Explore

I got the kids some nature workbooks as part of our home school science. We read though some together and they decided to pack their backpacks and go find some things in nature. They found bugs and flowers and found the names of each using their field guide. Then they tried to guess the time of day using the sun  (bc they had read about it in their nature book). After 3 hours, I finally had to make them come in for dinner. It is this kind of learning that I truly love. If only we could learn math the same way!

The Rhino

This is how we get chores done!


We got a used "Rhino" to help us with chores for the upcoming barn and animals. And, of course, it's just fine to drive around!
