Meet our newest additions!

Saturday we got to welcome home four beautiful black calves. Colton and I stayed up late Friday night in his bed arguing over names -- but I think we've come to a nice compromise. I wanted to name them after Purdue-ish things. He wanted to name them after the Falcons. When he quickly realized he only knows two Falcons, Jacob and Silas, the argument didn't last long. Meet Mackey, Pete, Silas & Jacob -- our newest additions!

Not only do I love having animals as part of our landscape, but I love the lessons that they teach my kids and the responsibility to care for them. I loved watching their curiosity this morning as Grandpa, Jason & Rossco helped to put them in the barn.

Grandpa is so excited to share his love of farm animals with the kids! We are so blessed to have these opportunities, and even more blessed to have parents who share in our love for farming and agriculture!


Colton has been so excited, and we are both excited to watch Colton take an active part in taking care of the calves this summer!

Loving all the action!

She was so curious!

Shout out to my hard working, dedicated husband. He gave up an entire Saturday in the rain to work to ensure that the calves would be well cared for, and safe within our pasture. Although, I have to say -- I question his decision to install an electric fence in the rain....

Get Well Soon, Grandpa Kent

 Here's the best way to share Dad's video. Thank you all so much for submitting the clips. This really made him smile (and say some funny things the first time we watched soon after anesthesia). I think it will be treasured company this evening in the hospital. Thank you for your prayers, your thoughts, for answering the phone calls and lifting Dad up. We appreciate all your love and support.  58E2238E-D2E3-4B38-9FF6-AE1E502ABD14.mp4

Covid ... the end. (Hopefully. Maybe. I really don't know....)

 Almost two years ago, exactly, our world drastically changed. Everyone holed up at home, scared to enter the world and catch Covid 19/Corona Virus. (Except Jason, once he got to feeling better from most likely having Covid before it was a known thing, he just went to work everyday like nothing had changed). The world basically shut down  -- special hours, curbside pick up encouraged, no dining room service only drive through or carryout. If someone coughed or sneezed anywhere near you, you were instantly suspicious. Our parents lived on complete edge and worry, taking in every ounce of information the news was constantly throwing in their faces. It was a time of great uncertainty, lots of information being thrown at us from trusted news sources, social media, and hearsay from those in the medical profession.  We spent March to May just trying to figure out our new life. No baseball. No softball. Lots of time with our animals. Lots of crafts. School from home. Porch drop ...

April - Hey Batter, Batter...

April is always the month that makes us think spring is FINALLY here, because it's starting to warm up, suns starting to shine more, except when we finally get to the baseball/softball fields, it's just as cold as it was in February. Thankfully, Emmalyn had an indoor sport to carry us through the cold of the month, until baseball/softball really got kicked off! Emmalyn tried something new this year and participated in CiVic vollebyall. This is a club program out of Carroll County, and she practiced every Sunday from January through April. Finally in late April she had three play dates. One Saturday we played up at Fairmount, IN. Grandma Jacki, Keaton and I went with Emmalyn, while Dad, Grandpa and Colton cut down some trees in preparation for our spring projects. Emmalyn and Mae Ella did a wonderful job for their team, both rocked their serving and seemed to know the game and keep their cool better than some on the team. The second weekend Dad, Em & Mom traveled to Triton H...
