110+ chicks/turkeys from the post office
Isaac and a rhode Island Red
The chicks in their cage
Loving her swing!
Isaac, Brooke and Lyndsay snugglingSorry it's been awhile since I last posted - it's been a busy week and we've had a few computer problems. The chicks were supposed to come Wednesday, but I got a phone call on Tuesday morning that they were at the post office. But, back to Saturday - the kids were all home for a change so I decided since I had extra help I would tackle painting the boys' room since I'd had the paint for 1 year and hadn't had the time to do it (or made the time). So, it took longer than just Saturday, but their room is painted and looks nice, too if I do say so myself! Next is the hallway, then living room, then kitchen... Sunday was another beautiful day so we worked outside. Curt, Brooke and Jeremy worked on cleaning out the fish pond while I raked out some flower beds and cleaned up the yard a bit in between coming in to take care of baby. I even took her outside for a bit. Sunday night we went out to the property to check everything out and went for a nice walk. Lyndsay enjoyed the view from her snugglie. The fresh air tired everyone out. We got the baby swing up and running and does she ever love it! I think she is the only baby out of the last 4 that enjoyed the swing - all the other babies cried when I put them in it! That is a big help if I need to do something (like cook dinner, etc.). Monday was my doctor appointment which went fine as far as I know - I had to have blood drawn because the finger poke in the office showed my hemoglobin was low. No phone call back on the bloodwork yet. Monday night, Jeremy worked on building the chick cage while I went through things in the attic (clothes, etc.). I gave away some things that I knew I wouldn't be using anytime in the near future.
Tuesday morning, I got the phone call at 6:45am that the chicks were at the post office, please come and get them. So, I went and got them (took Isaac with me as he was pretty excited). 122 chicks came in a pretty small box! Got them home and put them in the cage (good thing Jeremy got it done last night) and turned the lights on! Very cute! The kids were all excited. I let Isaac stay home from school even though we spent a lot of the day running around - had to go to Millington to get the chick feed from the grainery and to TSC for a few more waterers then in the afternoon to get some things done to the truck. So, he didn't get to be home as much as he'd hoped. Erin goes out there and sings to them through the fence. The turkeys (6 of them) will all congregate around her and poke their heads through the fence) and listen to her singing, I guess. We got 6 turkeys, 10 rhode island reds, 1 rooster and 100 broiler chicks. We will send those to butcher in about 7 weeks or so. I spent a little more time on Wednesday getting a few more things we needed. So, I feel as if I've been running all over. Thank goodness Amber drives because she's been taking Brooke to and picking Brooke up from driver's training. As of today she has driven 3 times and has a "pink slip" which allows her to drive with a parent even though she hasn't finished the actual class yet.
Amber's been busy. She is going to TN for her senior trip and even mentioned that they are taking a helicopter ride as well as white water rafting! I can't wait to see the pictures! She went for her physical for college and ended up having a mole removed from her shoulder and 2 stitches. We get the word on that next week when she gets the stitches removed.
Again, please pray for me as I return to work on Tuesday and don't look forward to the extra stress of life in general when I'm working... It'll be back to worrying about everyone and everything getting done.
Baby is doing great! Enjoy the pictures - she's getting excited and starting to chuckle a little bit here and there. She sleeps at night from 10pm - 4:30am which has been great! She's just a great baby!
Okay, enjoy the pictures - I'm working on posting those next!
