this is what we woke up to on sunday morning! we were really excited!

ari playing in the snow!

ben wanted this titled "bald man in the snow" but i think "ben loves the snow" is a better title.

ari loves the snow too!

amazing morning!

Bun's Mail Order Bride and Chicken Updates

we have a new friend on our farm. alice, the rabbit, was flown from massachusetts to us. we are happy to have her. we hope bun is going to like his new wife!

tillie is doing great! she is still smaller than the rest of the girls but she is growing. she has a great personality. she is the last one to get up in the morning and the first one to bed at night.

ben's lobster dinner

ben located the warehouse where the new england lobsters are distributed and found out you can buy directly from them. he stopped after work one afternoon and came home with larry, our three pound lobster. thanks to my mom and dad we had an amazing feast!
