We have had some new additions to our family lately. Stephen's Uncle Larry found a baby deer while he was mowing one day at one of the houses he mows at. He called Stephen and asked if we would like to raise a fawn and he thought about it for a few seconds and said sure. We named her Sandy and she is so tiny and sweet. She drinks a bottle in the morning and the evening. The kids all take turns feeding her. After she eats her breakfast she usually goes and curls up somewhere in the tall grass or under the porch with the dog. She has been so easy to take care of and has been a sweet little pet. I checked the date on the pictures and we actually got her April 30th. I am just a little late posting about her.
The kids all enjoy being out with the chickens. They are Silver Laced Wyandottes and we have 105 of them and we also have one feather footed exotic chick (the one Martin is holding). I haven't found out the name of her breed though. She is so cute looking.
We have also had 2 kittens off and on around our house for a few weeks. The orange and white one we named Cecilla and the grey and white one (I don't have any pictures of him) we named Jedediah. Martin loves the name Jedediah and was so excited to get to use the name. I am just sorry for him that the kittens didn't stick around. The mama cat apparently came and took them to the farm because we found them over there a few days after they were missing around our house. They were fun to have around while they were here though.

Fun, fun!!!
We need a pregnancy update! Are you excited about birthing at home? Were your other kiddos on time, early, or late? I'm hoping that this one doesn't follow Lib's example as she was 10 days late. :)
Animals sure teach responsibility. They look like they are doing well with it all......they sure are fun....the kids I mean. love, mom
