Bock, bock, bock!!!!!

Chicken farmers, is that a career? Johnathan, Joseph, and Jayne Elizabeth helped Papa catch the chickens at the farm that we incubated here at our house, and then turned them into the coop with the big chickens! Yep, our chicks have left the nest! I wish I knew which of those chickens I stayed up through the night watching hatch, and which ones we helped break their shells to come out!!! These chickens may look a little funny to you. Aunt Kathy mailed us eggs from her specialty chickens to hatch, so we have some pretty wild feathers around the farm! Our kids love these chickens!! 

 Aunt Justina wasn't going to participate, but Papa insisted if the kids hold the chickens, so does she!

Introducing the new cat on the farm!!! It's part of having a veterinarian in the family, this kitty "needed" Papa and Granna. The J crew gave the cat specific instructions on the drive down to the farm on catching mice!! Jayne Elizabeth adores this cat!

 Pear picking, apple picking, and garden gathering, it's the farm life!
