Happy Thanksgiving!

Happy Thanksgiving to all! We hope tha everyone has a great turkey day! As a family we are very fortunate in a time of poor economics to have close family and friends, and great jobs. We are very thanksfull for all that has happened this past year: the birth of Jay(Concord Baby), The purchasing of our farm, the bounty of food that our farm has given us, economically secure employment, and meeting of many new friends and oppertunities. May all be safe and enjoy their travels. Safe hunting and the best of luck to those Ohio Shot gun hunters next week! Below are some of our turkey day pictures, our finished dinner, sweet potatoes, pie making, finished pies, awesome pie! (Yes, Yummmm, homemade Pumpkin pie, made with pumpkins we grew!!!)

Fall Work

Fall work is finally on the home stretch, if thats possible to say on a farm. We have been trying to finish up many tasks: firewood, the barn, the pig pen, fencing and helping neighbors with their fall work. We have finally stock piled enough fire wood, I think. We finished roofs on both the barn and the pig pen. We (Matt, Justin and I) have been digging post holes with the 2 man auger, then I set and tamp the posts and hang barb wire, alot still to go. The wood stove is working out well, we are finally figuring out temperature control, sometimes it gets as hot as 85 'F in the house. Heres some Fall pics.

Congrats Joey and Kristi

On Saturday Nov 1, Joey and Kristi said their vows. What a joyous occasion. Congrats, our best wishes go out to you.

Happy First Birthday Jay!

Saturday the 8th was Concord Babys First Birthday! Wow this last year has gone so fast. Jay has grown leaps and bounds, hes now walking, I mean terrorizing anything and everything. We are so lucky to have such caring and supportive friends and family. The party had a great turn out, what a great time to be had by all. Thanks to everyone! Attached are some other little boy pictures, this is a Concord Baby update.
