Worth A Mention...

Baby boy #3

Coming this (late) January.

Around Here...

E's favorite play place, despite mama's best efforts. 

J's favorite place to perch. As this picture was taken he was sitting there telling Jackson stories.
Specifically a story about a bear that ate a goat named Jackson. 

What I have accomplished while we've been out in the sun.
(I made a cover for the creepy pit that is the crawl space entry and dug an herb garden to the left)

J has started "school". He enjoys doing math! (not my genes)

We also like to do food themed books, who doesn't want to eat while they read?
 "The Little White Owl" - jam on toast
"A Visitor for Bear" - cheese and tea
"If You Give a Moose a Muffin" - muffins

Our new additions 

J holding "Jordan Storey" named after our friend with red hair. 

Only 5 weeks and this guy is BIG!

Busy Barnyard!

Grumpy Uncle Jackson isn't as gruff as he seems. Beard trim anyone?

our surprise visitors today... J was so excited that there were "caribou" at our house! 

Sunshine and Sand Boxes

As a kid I spent a lot of sunny days in a big sandbox. Four kids mounding tons of sand and then laying faces smashed in the grit, digging until we reached each others fingertips. I'm glad my boys will have memories like that and I'm glad to remember mine while I dig tunnels in the sand with them. :)   

They're Here!

Daisy kidded on her due date and brought unexpected triplets (2 bucklings and a doeling) into the world. She was such a champ, willing to let me help her when the need arrived. And she's a wonderful mom, having accepted and nursed them straight off. 

Checking out the neighbors...

Snuggling in the sunshine...

 And getting a bit rambunctious on the teeter totter...

I promise to return to our usual broadcast subjects soon. :)

Through little eyes...

J has taken a bit of an interest in photography lately. It's pretty adorable to see him walk around, camera swinging from the neck strap, deliberately pointing and shooting as "inspired".

Hope you enjoy seeing the world as he sees it. 

Sometimes literally.
