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!!!!

"I'll be your best friend?!"

My baby never fails to have a “such a cutie” moment every day. I don’t know what it is about him, perhaps knowing he is the baby, or simply that he was such a good baby, that I have noticed these little moment s more. I have to share this one with you. It has happened twice this last week. We are sitting in the car and Rakaipaka calls out and asks for something. Usually it is a lolly or chocolate or something I don’t have at that time. Anyway I call out ‘no’, and the response comes back, “Oooh, Ill be your best friend”!!! Ha How cute is that!! He is all of what 2 years old and is already trying that line on his mother!!! Now the question is posed…. Which one of his siblings did he hear that from!!!!

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.
