An update......

It has been a month since I updated this and there have been many good memories made since then. We had an awesome Christmas and a nice New Year's Eve at home. 2011 brought us a big surprise and it didn't come to the middle of December. Well actually it has not came at all but it is working on growing and will be joining us in August of 2011. We will be welcoming our 4th child in the summer of this year. We are joyfully anticipating the arrival of this little blessing from God. We were able to see the hearbeat on ultrascreen last week because of some issues I have been having and everything looks wonderful. It was wonderful to see that little heart beating away at 136 beats per minute.




Life on the homestead has been changing in lots of different ways. We sold the turkeys in December, they went to a good home with a man who plans to breed them. I miss their turkeys noises and gobbles but they were one more thing to take care of. I enjoyed them the 9 months I had them and having them made me realize I would like to have more some day.



We still have the geese and the ducks and they will be staying here. We lost one of our Runner hens and one of our Welsh Harlequin drakes this winter. There seems to be no reason for their deaths and I am still not sure what happened to them. We found them Christmas day.

Chickens are still laying but the production has been really slow; hopefully it will pick up in spring.
