What a great time of year to be alive! New growth, new babies, New attitude. How exciting!! Our plants are growing and sprouting with perfect green health and goodness!! We realized how much we have taken on. We are not just planting a garden, we basicly are going to be running a farm. Gray has been working so hard. Work all week then, all weekend planting and tending to the farm. He loves it and I am very impressed how dedicated he is to our new way of living, and taking care of our investment! We are so excited to share the yumminess with everyone who is interested. We are going to be selling veggies and fruit at markets as well as a mini CSA at my work, if we have enough left over!!

Sophie, is well, just absolutely, PERFECT!! We cannot beleive how cute, sweet ,smart and GORGEOUS she is!! Everyday she makes us he-haw laugh at something new and cute that she does. That child loves being outside more than ANYTHING! She screams at the door untill we take her out. She wants to pick flowers, play with the dogs and EXPLORE constantly!! We are so incrediably proud of her we just want to BURST! Everyday, EVERYDAY I thank the Lord for blessing us with this amazing sweet spirit! He trusted us to be her parents and love her unconditonally. He gave us this honor!!! I take this responsiblitiy and am AMAzed that I am blessed enough to be this special child's mother!! THE CHILD ALREADY SINGS!!! She can immitate anyone singing and sounds beautiful at 15 months!!! WE KNOW she is going to be a singer. I cannot say enough about her.

Our sweet BABY?

This winter has been so much fun! Best winter of my life. Even though it has been frigid outside, we have ALL enjoyed it. We have been warm inside, full bellies, great friends and LOTS of laughs. The only drawback, Sophie has been sick SO MUCH!!!

We are watching Sophie grow up amazingly fast right before our eyes. She walks, well runs, around constantly!! Busy as a bee, and forming her sweet, fun, personality. As we always say, this is our "favorite" stage. She loves to eat everything! She even enjoys fruits and veggies the most (organic, non gmo)!! She had such a fun Christmas. She was spoil rotten by all of the presents she received. I cooked and cooked and cooked. We also got 10 inches of snow on Christmas day and were snowed in for 2 days!! Although we got stir crazy it was fun spending so much time together. As we know already, she is ridiculously smart. It is so cute to watch her thinking through things as she encounters them. Sophie loves learning and trying new things!! We look at her and are amazed by her beauty. She is sooooo beautiful and will become a stunning young girl and women. We are going to have to beat them off with a stick. Something we aren't looking forward to.

I had my first night away from her since she has been born. After 14 months Gray said it was time for me to take a "break". I went to the beach with 12 awesome other girls and had a absolute blast!! I laughed so hard my stomach got sore. I loved every second of it. I missed my baby girl and was so excited to come home to see her and Grays sweet face. I guess mama's need time to ourselves sometimes.

We have never been more excited to be alive and never been happier. This summer is going to be fantastic with Sophie walking, trips to the beach, the ocean, trips to the mountains, family time, GROWING 90 % of our own organic food!!! Busy, but euphoric I can only imagine. We cannot wait to see our plants grow and feel the warm sun on our skin. Sophie has already been "helping" us getting the land ready.

We had a little scare with our dog "kezzie". She got a uterine infection that caused her to get a systemic infection. This infection caused her to stop making her red blood cells. She was a very sick dog. Sophie, during that time, found her new best friend. Kezzie pulled through and Sophie and her have been "soul mates" ever since!! Sophies love pulled Kezzie through, this we KNOW!!!

8 more weeks until baby J is born and we are so excited! Go Catherine!

We are the most blessed humans in the world. Our house might not be big, but we have one. Our jobs might be hard, but we are able to work. Our clothes might not be new, but they keep us warm. Nothing to complain about. We remind ourselves of this everyday. Literally Everyday. Our bellies are full!! THANK YOU JESUS!!! We should all be on our knees thanking God for what we have. He is with us always.

Spread your love, hearts, and JOY!!! Let Love rule!!!!!!!!!
