Seven is SO sweet!

What does 3 and 4 make? SEVEN!!!  Happy 7th birthday to our darling Ruth!

Ruth spent her birthday morning with Daddy. When she got home, we enjoyed lunch, presents and cake. Yum!  That night we enjoyed her special request for dinner, "Bettsy's FAMOUS Mac-n-Cheese"!
Ruth will say her favorite part of the day was receiving her long-wished-for lego set. However, this momma was so blessed to see her love and appreciation to her sibs for all the thought and care put into making her day special.

Be blessed, our Sweet Sunshine!!

"For the LORD God is a sun and shield; The LORD gives grace and glory; No good thing does He withhold from those who walk uprightly." Psalm 84:11

Happy Birthday Sweet Honoree' Faith!!

Can it be a whole year has gone by?? I say that with every baby, don't I?

Our sweet Babiest One is ONE!! We love you, precious girl!!
A special birthday prayer for the birthday girl.

Big brothers building your new scooter.

Your new favorite toy.  Now you have wheels and are cruisin' all about!

May the Lord protect and show Himself strong to you in the coming year, sweet baby girl.

 "The LORD bless you, and keep you; The LORD make His face shine on you, And be gracious to you; The LORD lift up His countenance on you, And give you peace.'" Numbers 6:24-26

Make Way for Ducklings...and a Rabbit!

Welcome to the Family Farm!

Introducing the Mallard Family...

Who were then joined by the Khaki Cambell Family...

And, don't forget Ruth's newly adopted Mini Lop/Netherland Dwarf Rabbit, Snowflake!


This farming stuff will be an exciting adventure for us.  Stay tuned for all the fun!

Spring Is In The Air


Elizabeth sprouted some seeds, curious to see if they'd be worth planting this year. Once they sprouted, she worked with her little sisters to plant the seedlings for starters for our garden this year. The smell of fresh dirt is a welcome scent after the cold winter months! We are so excited for SPRING!


SEE Science Center

The SEE Science Center was a great discovery for us. I only wish I had realized what a gem it is back in the cabin fever days of the winter months.

The big draw of the center is the AMAZING project of the old Millyard town of Manchester, NH made completely out of LEGOS!! We had a fantastic time soaking up every tiny detail...

And, of course, we loved the hands-on learning fun that fills the two floors of the SEE.


There is a room set aside with tables enabling you to bring in your own picnic lunch during your stay. We didn't have enough time to try every exhibit, so we are hoping to get back soon for another day of experiments and fun!
