1st Grade!!

Garrett will finish out his Kindergarten year on June 12th. It's a little bittersweet to see my little boy become a first grader. He on the other hand, is seriously excited. He has learned SO much this year, and changed so much. I am so proud of him.

We put a request in back in December to keep him at the Center School. Since we live in the West Village, he would have had to go to the little school house for 1,2,3,and 4 and then back to the Center school for 5 and 6. Our request was granted, and he got a great teacher. Also one we know that atleast one of his close buddies, Kobe, will also have her. He is just thrilled!

I am really looking forward to seeing what the next year brings, and all that he learns and accomplishes! Kindergarten went by so fast!

The Farm...

Things around the farm have been unbelievably hectic lately. (Hence the lack of blog posts recently.) Our farmhand was gone for a month, so it was just Philip and I and an over abundance of work to be done. We plugged away and made it through.

We finally have all the heifers home from Richard Stickneys. He raises them for us all winter. All the ones that were bred by the bull calved in pretty much all in the same week, and most all of them had heifer calves! We just put all the heifers, older calves, dry cows and steers out to pasture. They are loving it!

Our bull, Remington is home now too. We are going to breed him one more round since he still is maintaining a good disposition and seems content.

We are getting ready to get the haying eqiupment ready and get the summer started haying soon.

Well. That is all I can think of now. The boys and Philip are all here, and ready for some lunch!
