I never got around to posting about Jillian’s doctor visit yesterday (my monkey son and chickens sidetracked me). Anyway, she weighed in at exactly 8 lbs and her doctor and I were very pleased. She doesn’t even need to go back for another weight check until Dec 19th. Breastfeeding is going much better and I’m [...]

John wrote a few weeks ago about the chickens sleeping in the trees and its getting out of hand, I mean its winter! Earlier in the week we had a night that was really cold and 2 chickens were missing when John went to close them in their coop. The weather man said it was [...]

When Ethan was a toddler we still had season tickets to our local hockey team.  He could care less about the action on the ice so we tried to find things we could bring for him to play with.  At some point we stumbled upon replacement dome hockey players and we picked up a set [...]

Right after I had Jillian the chickens started to lay eggs. I’ve lost count but we’ve gotten over 20 so far. The 2 Wyandottes started first because we just got brown eggs for the first 2 weeks but slowly the Ameraucanas are following suit and we have some green eggs too (although the picture doesn’t [...]
