Blessings in bundles!

Our family has been looking forward and preparing to someday have chickens on our farm. The thought of fresh organic eggs is mouthwatering!

One Saturday we all put together and made the chicken coupe out of materials found on the farm.

That very next day in our new Branch, a Brother offered us a hen and her 9 chicks. For FREE!! Talk about count your blessings!! It was going to cost me $20 each to buy them. The only condition from his wife, bless her, was that we take the rooster too. Done deal.

The following Friday we picked up the rooster. Saturday we collected the hen and chicks. (somehow we left one behind but that chick is doing very well for itself than you for asking!!) Renata has happily accepted the assignment of looking after our new family editions! Now, every day we do indeed count our many blessings!!!!

Flashback - Rotten teeth?

I was putting the boys to bed the other night, and as usual you go through the usual teeth toilet, bed etc... I asked Rakai, did you brush your teeth? He said no. (He was honest) So, I said, "do you want your teeth to fall out while you are asleep?" He answered with a sad look on his face, "yes, cause then I can get some money". Oh that was such a Rakai thing to say!! I had to counter that (trying not to laugh) by telling him that the tooth fairy doesn't give money for rotten teeth! Then, Hikawera pipes up saying he got $5 for a rotten (dead actually from being banged) tooth that the dentist had to pull out. I had to go into real damage control then!! Rakai comes out with the funniest things sometimes. He is golden.

Volleyball

Teancum really enjoys playing volleyball. He jumped right into the teams at boys high, and within a couple of weeks, he was in the 'A' team. They came runner up this season to a solid Hillcrest school team. An awesome group of boys.

Hakarimata's again!

Yes, we did it! We climbed the Hakarimata's again. Still hard, still so rewarding!!
