IT'S A GIRL!!!

We can hardly wait to meet her!!!!!

Catching up....

It's been awhile since we posted! Here are some pictures of what we've been up to since our last post.

Our cousin Allie came to meet Dixie's pups! (See more pictures here)

We all greatly enjoyed a visit from our friend Brittany!!

Livy is usually the center of attention around our house.

Livy is so happy that it's warm enough for toads to be out!

Showing the toad to her little friend, Cadence

Having these 2 little girls in our home is so much fun!

Our meat chicks were growing fast...

...but a few days ago something got into the pen and killed 75 of them! Only 12 survived. :(

This is one of our layer chicks

The puppies are also growing!

If we don't watch out, they tear our clothes!

Signs of Spring

We have had three weeks of beautiful warm weather.  The temperatures have been in the 50's to 60's in the afternoons, and though we still have occasional frosts at night, the grass is getting green and the trees are beginning to bloom.

They get along really well at this age.

Aren't they adorable?!

Anybody want a free puppy??????

A Visit from the Palmers and Bartons

Last week our friends from Pennsylvania, the Palmers, and their daughter and her family, the Bartons, came for a visit. We really enjoyed having them here!

Cody had a lot of fun with this train set

Julie and Caitlyn

Rebekah, Mrs. Palmer, and Melissa spent a lot of time crocheting and knitting while we visited. Someone had given Mrs. Palmer a crocheted hand towel and she wanted to learn how to duplicate it.

Bro. Palmer preached at our church one Sunday, and at another church near us the following Sunday. On Wednesday he spoke at our church's Men's Meeting. At the same time, we had a Ladies' Meeting at our house with Mrs. Palmer.

A few of us had a class upstairs with the younger children.

Playing together afterwards

The little ones enjoyed sweet Caitlyn!

Baking with Cody

Isn't he adorable?!

Livy had so much fun helping Mrs. Palmer give "Annie Dog" her bath!
