Snuggling Thursday morning- such cute kids!



We're taking care of our friends' animals while they're out of town. The kids love being farmers for a week. Our friends have turkeys, chickens, 8 sheep, a cat, 2 calves and a llama named either Bob or Bill (we can't remember). Here's a photo of Helen with a texas long horn calf named Plain.


Sophie and Abe have swimming lessons every Tuesday and Thursday at the YMCA. Sophie has gone from hating water to a good swimmer in only 3 years. Abe likes swimming as long as he doesn't get his face wet. Sometimes he makes it through a whole class without getting his hair wet, either.


Brandan is teaching Sophie how to turn pots on his pottery wheel.


Brandan worked at laying some slate on the patio this week. We'll post another photo when it's further along. Abe and Helen love to play in the sand while Brandan works on setting the slate in place.

homeconnectionDear Family: It looks like between the building at home and the new office and the farm work you are at least staying outside alot. Linda and I are trying to continue our painting and repair of the house and I think it may take all summer. Linda is saying the $5000 dollar bid sounds better each day.
We have four yard parties at our house over the next two weeks so I think that will slow us down.
We have had some nice croquet games with the kids the last couple of weeks and Parker is determined to win.
Becky and Aaron are in their new house and painting as well.
We are going to try to head to LA to see Nate by the end of the month if we can manage it. Thanks for the pictures. Dan
