AWjHS Spring Musical: FAME!
Sunday, January 13, 2013
WOW it has already been a year!
It is hard to believe that we have been in our house for over a year now. As you know we have been busy running kids around and working on projects. We started with adding 3 rooms to the garage. Each of the girls have one of their own and we have a "craft/play" room out there as well. The last one is still in the works but, the girls have been settled in their rooms since spring.
Next we added our rabbit hutch. I set it up to require the least amount of maintenance and time. There were several revisions and things were going well until the weather cooled below freezing. At that point I moved them indoors.
In June we had a pool put in. We got a lot of use out of it this year. Especially during our countless number of campfires with friends and family. A few weeks later we nearly lost it during a thunder storm when a large section of a tree fell right beside it.
During most of the spring and summer we spent our free time in the garden and in the yard. Our garden had some minor successes. The heat from the sun was a killer for most of the summer and only a few of our veggies performed as we would have liked.
August was taken up with the kid's activities and getting ready for school. Both Hannah and Emma were starting at new schools and Caleb continued to homeschool.
Towards the end of September we decided to get a pair of goats. We spend ALL of October building a shed with the help from Jamey's cousin Matt. It was a lot of work but, by the end of the month we had two female Nubian goats on our homestead.
And that brings us to today. Who knows what is in store for our 2nd year on the farm.
