Welcome November....

Well today marks the day that we have been in our house for 1 year. We have painted 4 rooms, replaced the sewer pipe, re-roofed, carpeted the stairs, met and disposed of 3 of our mousey roommates, had a pretty successful garden, built railings, planted trees, built a rockwall, and have a list of things that will keep us busy for the next 10 years if nothing gets added!

Our beautiful (fungus infected) fall maple.
Can you see the rope swing?

Yeah for fungus leaves!

The chickens are doing well. The white ones each faithfully lay an egg a day. 'Goldie' hasn't produced any yet...we think she may be defective from the cat mauling in her infancy...and we gave away our 'rooster'. He was the least friendly anyway. They are now working on 'digging up' and fertilizing the garden plot.

She's eyeballing the camera string.
They'll eat almost anything.

In other news, Abigail would like to inform everyone and anyone that she has moved up to the even bigger bike. Chris found if he tipped the seat forward she can just reach the ground.

So Proud!

Although Elijah now gets Abigail's smaller bike (training wheels back on) he still prefers his car. Maybe its because his feet don't touch the ground on the bike, or because its teal and pink.

A new method for chalk art.
