I usually sit with Carmen and her girls on Sunday. As Abigail is growing older she is learning to sit quietly, but as the next youngest grows older she more than makes up. Hosanna, dubbed "Energizer" by her Daddy, keeps both Carmen and I occupied during the sermon.

Faithfulness

Dehorning

Farm life isn't always pleasant. A week ago, Brian and Libby performed one of those jobs that has to be done. They dehorned the kids. The goats cried while Brian burned off their little horns. Then Libby held her "babies" and comforted them.

Bottle feeding

Judith and the girls accompanied Joel on his three-day trip up to help pour concrete for the barn floor. Kaelyn and Janessa loved the animals, and were especially cute bottle feeding kids with Aunt Libby.
