Dad was camping in the Sierras, so Ethan stepped up and mowed the lawn.
He's so awesome!

Go Ethan, go!

The Baby Chicks are Here!

The post office called today and said our package was in and chirping and we needed to pick it up. In it, were 10 precious baby chicks. This is little Maxine! We gave two away and, in addition to Maxine, we now have, Buffy, Rosie, Dolly, Tangerine, Fluffy, Inky and Cali! Now that makes one happy boy!
