Our Christmas Tree|| A Tree With A Story

Its a family tradition to get the tree put up the weekend after Thanksgiving. Every year Michael and I pick out a new ornament together and each of the kids pick one out. After 26 years we have a wide assortment of ornaments and have found our tree holds a little story of all the years.

Lots To Do But There’s Always Time For a Walk With the Goat

It’s the time of the year when the work outside dies down but there’s still plenty of work to be done in the house to get it in shape for the upcoming holidays. We made a day of it cleaning house and shampooing carpets. Of course all work and no play makes for a dull, boring day so we made time for a walk with the goat.

A Celebration of Five Years on the Homestead!

We’re celebrating 5 years of being here! The weather was so nice that we spent most of the day outside. The kids were installing speakers in Brooke’s car, Michael and I were changing up the fence by the barn, and Miley was trying to get her airplane to fly. We ended our day with a bowl of chili, Halloween cupcakes and fun conversation.
