Hello to all!! I know I know it's been awhile. I thought about writing this in April a few times but when I looked back on March I realized I had wrote almost nothing down on my calendar. So I tried to do better in April so this will be 2 months worth and I will just touch on the highlights so it doesn't get so long. March 1st Kelly's folks where still here so we all went to Jay's for supper. Nigel had an eye appointment just before supper so I took him to that and Kelly took the girls to Jay's. The 2nd we went to with the youth to London to sing. I know the house parents so I was excited to see them. At this point we still had morning and evening chores to do as we where just starting to wean calves. They since have all been weaned and are enjoying the nice pasture they get to roam in. The 12th was Eli's 1st birthday and we went to Jay's for cake sometime around then I don't remember the day. The 14th we had Joel's for dinner. The 20th we went to Mount Forest for a chick order. I got 8 exotics as they are called. That means they don't lay our basic white or brown egg. Hoping for all hens but we will have to see. The 22nd was the start of spring break for us. The 23rd I took Miriam and Rebecca along with my girls to get another chick order. These are ones we will be selling. 50 Azure Blue's. They are a white hen that lays blue eggs. The 26th Darrell's and his folks came for supper. The 27th we took the children to the butterfly place as fun thing for spring break. On to April, the 2nd we worked in the pasture getting it ready for calves. It has all been fenced by the previous owners we just had to walk the fence and make sure the trees where trimmed and no wire was down. The 4th was Easter. We went to Darrell's for dinner. I took potatoes, deviled eggs, and pies for dessert. The 5th I send my second child off to Kindergarten. Nigel was very excited and he was up before his alarm rang and it didn't take long to eat his breakfast or get ready. I love his excitement and enthusiasm. The 6th I had Darrell's and his folks for supper again. The 7th I had an eye appointment. The 16th we had Darrell and Kelly's birthday party at Jay's since their birthdays are a few days apart. I made Mocha espresso cupcakes and Lemon Meringue Cupcakes. The 19th we started another big lockdown and homeschooling of sorts. The 21st Heidi had a dentist appointment as she has an adult tooth coming behind a baby tooth. She doesn't need to pulled now but if she doesn't wiggle it out soon she will. The 22nd I started painting my laundry room. I guess I forgot to say I painted both bathrooms and built and put in new shelves. I just can't remember when but it was the last of March I think. Also on the 22nd I went o Carissa's and sewed. We stayed for supper as well. The 23rd I finished the laundry room and we all went will Kelly to look at a tractor we are thinking of buying. Just a small one but we need something to help with our calf and chicken chores. The 24th I mowed lawn for the 2nd time and we pumped out the pond and pressure washed the sides and raked the rocks back to the top. Also since the chicken project is a lot my idea I do a lot of the work for them. Some of them where getting to big and to many for a pen so I had to get another pen ready and move them around. One of our calves died suddenly so we where pretty sad about that and then had to figure a way to look after him. The 25th Jay's left there boys where in the evening as they had to got singing. The 27th Miss Gingrich was here for supper. The 28th Carissa came over and we painted the living room and they stayed for supper. Well I think that about gets me caught up! I'm sure i missed somethings but that's ok. Till next time.........
