Christmas Card Photo Shoot

I love good stationery and sending cards in the mail. I especially love Christmas cards. Time got away from me and I *almost* didn't send cards out. But when Kiera and I drove down to the farm to feed the ducks, we had a little Christmas Card photo shoot at the She Shed. 

Look at the thin layer of ice on the pond

Kiera's driveway pics are my fave! 

The She Shed got some Christmas touches...wreaths, trees and buffalo check pillows

Selfie!

This is the shot we used for the cards! 

The Ducks "Winter Home"

Grandpa and Dave built the ducks their "winter home" in the barn this weekend. We used

scrap wood, netting, a tarp and lots of straw. We tried to catch the ducks to put them in, but only

got Daisy. We tried and tried and tried, but gave up...only to come back the following weekend

and round them all up with food (why didn't we do that in the first place?) Kiera invited her friend, R

to the farm for the weekend.

Smart and Strong

I sent this onesie in the mail to L and Em sent these pics.

Not only is she rocking the cute shirt but look at her mohawk!

Happy 25th Birthday, Nick! 

The barn got a new roof

 L's first trip to the Courtyard! She was a perfect angel 

the whole time...she slept then quietly cooed in her seat.

The Rettle Roller got a Thanksgiving quote

Cousins!

 Lots of snuggles with L while they were in town for

Thanksgiving

Ty, Val and Leo spent the weekend at the farm...lots of fun,

laughter, long hikes, pictures, outdoors and good food!

Happy Halloween 2019

A school friend (a boy!) invited the whole 6th grade class to a Halloween party at his house. We carpooled and before the party the girls had a Spooky Halloween treat.

The girls dressed up as Hydroflasks (the super popular water bottles)

Turtle Power! The 6th grade team dressed up as

The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles!

 Striking our best ninja turtle poses!

Kiera and G came up with their own original Halloween costume 

idea...Scary Dolls! They found dresses at the thrift store and soiled them 

in the back yard with dirt and fake blood.

They also perfected their "fake wounds" thanks to YouTube videos.

The Scary Dolls!

A smile makes her look a little less scary!

All the candy!
