Merry Christmas from the little family

Merry Christmas!

Just a little update...

Taylor turned one year old just last month and she is finally walking around on her own it is so fun to see her become more and more independent. She is starting to say words like mama, grandpa, up , uhoh, hot and dada.

Stephen has been working for a dairy not far from our farm and I have been busy keeping up with the chores and getting ready for Christmas.

Bonnie-our dog is due to have puppies in January (3rd) and Tilly our cow should calve any day now.

I feel like I'm distracted...i probably should say more..but, that will have to wait until later.

Have a Cow!

Today we bought a 2 year old jersey cow. Her name is Tilly!We bought her from an organic dairy-I am really excited! I think that it is going to take a while to break us in on the milking, it has been a hard trail so far.One of the most exciting things is that she is bred and is due to have a baby in December....so either we will have our own steer our another cow!

My husband is getting more adventurous-I love him-he really is amazing!
