gathering eggs



This chicken project is still going, (sort of to my dismay). I mean, they are okay, and it is nice having fresh eggs, but they roam all over the yard - and sometimes into the garage! They are truly free-range. And, wherever they roam they leave their mark if you know what I mean. Eww. And, the kids aren't really thrilled about the chore of gathering the eggs now that the rooster gets cranky when they are around. I guess that happens when roosters reach maturity, they get protective of the hens and get, well, mean. So, that means I get to do the chores most days - yea! But, isn't that basket so cute that Gammie found?

Will you dance with me, Papa?




Andie kept waiting to dance at a family wedding we attended in Centerville. She asked Papa several times when they could dance and he kept reassuring her he would dance with her when it was time. It was very cute (and Dad was such a good sport - especially when no one else was even on the dance floor!) Then, after a song or two and more people joined in, Andie realized she could do it herself and she was off!
