These are our new Buff Orpingtons--- won't be long before we have lots more fresh eggs! You clip their feathers/wings on 1 side so they can't fly out as easily.
The on-going adventures of a Catholic, homeschooling family who have built a family home and continue working on cultivating a homestead while they are trying to NOT lose their focus on Godly priorities... or their minds!

April Showers of Photos/New Chicks!

Well, I'm going to try to participate in April Shower of Photos. Each day I'll post some pictures of life happening around here... should be interesting!
These are the pictures I meant to post long a while ago of our new chicks. This was taken Feb. 28th. Up next will be pictures of them NOW...

The eclipse that saved Christopher Columbus and his crew
I must be a total geek because I thought this was a really interesting tidbit. Just when you think you've heard every possible story about Columbus...

Babylove
Now this is what my girl looks like awake. You just can't see how blue her eyes are in this picture. I just bought this swing because my back just isn't what it use to be but she doesn't like it much yet. Now if I can just keep Emma out of it! :-)Of course, we're kissing and hugging her all the time- it's amazing how much you can love each and every little inch of these precious little babes. She's been cooing and making more noises lately-- and not just from the backside! A smile will cross her face now and then and those just light up the room!

Book Meme
Okay, so I've been tagged by a dear friend of mine for a meme.
It's a cute one so here goes:
1. Pick up the nearest book (of at least 123 pages).
2. Open the book to page 123.
3. Find the fifth sentence.
4. Post the next three sentences.
5. Tag five people.
Next, they took twenty mattresses and placed them on top of the pea. Finally, they put twenty feather beds on top of the mattresses. "This is where you will sleep tonight," the Queen told the Princess.
Okay, so it's a book of fairy tales that landed near me from one of my girls' rooms. Nothing intellectually stimulating unless I churn up some feminist memories to debate the book from Women Studies in college. The book is called "Treasury of Fairy Tales" and was a gift from a friend. Now to figure out who to tag...
How 'bout...
and I see the other one already has gotten this meme! Dawn

Announcing Carrie Noel Parente!
She's here!
Dec. 17th at 10:18 AM.
9 lbs. 4 oz. and 21.5 inches long.
I won't take time to make this fancy... here are some pictures of our newest cutie and her siblings.
Some of the best pictures of her up close are on my cell phone and I'm trying to figure out how to transfer them. (I haven't had time to figure out this new phone yet.) Yes, we've misplaced the regular digital camera. ;-) Hopefully I'll be able to post the good photos of little Carrie tomorrow. And the pictures of Jacob with her, too.
