New Addition...

Our chickens are getting so big, and our most recent addition is a little goat! As it was given to us, we aren't sure if it is a baby or just a miniature breed... either way, she's cute, ya?
I also recently cleared out a little raised garden bed in hopes of planting some vegetables soon....so you can just call me farmer Sally. :)
I really enjoy having some outdoor 'chores' and having a break from the dishes, cooking, and laundry. Duke LOVES playing in the pile of dirt near the garden and running up and down a little grassy hill. He is getting a lot more sturdy on his feet and is becoming a little climber as well. He thinks everything is a car...either that, or he is pretending. :) His latest 'tricks' are meowing like a cat, saying 'doodoo', and giving a pound with his fist. He is learning and growing so fast, I can't keep up! He is a smart little guy and is figuring out how to exert his opinion quite forcefully at times, and I often find myself begging for wisdom and grace to help him learn to love and obey Jesus (and mommy!).

Thanks to pinterest, I have had quite a few craft projects that I've been wanting to do, and Duke's morning nap is often the perfect time to get a little crafting in. This is my latest project, and am really enjoying this type of canvas/painting/art and would love for more excuses to make these, so if anyone has a custom order, I'd love to make some more!












We have been enjoying the rain this week...
Duke finds all sorts of bugs and gets to splash in puddles!
I tell him stories of when I was a little girl, growing up in Oregon and how it rained all the time!
He thinks it sounds fun. :)

Aaron came home with this ukelele recently and we have been enjoying having him walk around playing music for us all the time. :)
