Tabitha Jean

What excitement around here! My sister Esther had a little girl! A sister for Eric and Zachary. You should have seen the joy on Tia's face at the news. The second girl born in the VG family since my sister Hannah who is 20. What a cutie she is!

Homecoming! Welcome Tabitha!

 She couldn't wait to hold her.

 Kisses from big brother Zachary.

 Aren't these the cutest little "farm girl socks"

Such love and care Tia has for babies. 

The proud big brothers!

Springtime at the Farm

On Mother's Day weekend we traveled to the farm for another much anticipated visit.

What is more fun than a huge pile of sawdust with old diggers and trucks?

Even Tia who doesn't understand why Silas and Asher like trucks so much, occupied herself for a while.

This was the highlight for Tia...six little puppies for her to love and bottle feed.

  

Beautiful weeds and Grandpa's bees.

The morning mist of a beautiful day!

The barn swallows mud home.

Working with Grandma to make bread.

Her babies.

 Some of us went on a wonderful hike with gorgeous landscape pictures.

  And here is my boy, working and learning from his Uncles...this is all I saw of him. Silas was out to the barn milking before I woke up and didn't get back till 7pm dinner!

Cutting hay was the priority that week.
