Happy Birthday Carrie

Today we celebrated Carries 14th birthday. She had a couple of friends over to help eat cake. Her friends are not the same ones she had as a kid.

Merry Christmas

Yesterday was another enjoyable Chistmas. Sarah's brother, A J came from Cape Breton, as he has every year. He got to help me clean the chicken barn and gather eggs. Victoria finally made it home from Iqaluit, via Ottawa, Toronto, and Montreal, then a bus to Moncton, putting up with flight cancelations and long waits in airports. Jesse did most of the chores in the barn while we all enjoyed wrapping gifts and going to church on Christmas eve. Then a lovely Christmas turkey at Stacy's.

Getting into the Christmas Spirits..oops..Spirit

Thanks to Jesse & Carrie, we got our Christmas tree up in front of the barn. Frozen fingers were enjoyed by all, including the questions of why we hadn't done this on a warmer day.
Jesse took the pic on his cell phone..looks nice, huh.

Breaking News

Abby is having puppies! ... 4 so far...see that cute little head? Stay tuned for a final count..


This morning, Wednesday, we counted six puppies..Mother and litter are doing fine.

Happy Birthday Madilyn

Madilyn Turns 3 today! Carrie is going up to her birthday party today with Stacy, Kara & Bradford. Happy Birthday Madilyn!
Here is a picture of Madilyn taken 2 weeks ago when she was helping out in the barn, and another taken last July when she was really enjoying her lunch.

Happy Birthday Victoria

Vicky turns 20 today. Happy Birthday Vicky! Have a good day! Stay warm. We are still waiting on a picture of her in Iqaluit, but we have some pictures she sent of her flying into the teaming metropolis.

This one is a little closer up, it might show the apartment building she is staying in. No sign of the golden arches though.

And here is the "team" in the teaming metropolis.

"Where is Vicky?"
And alas, no polar bear, but we do have a picture of Vicky with one of her friends from years ago.

Happy Birthday Sarah

Last but not least, we should wish Sarah a very Happy Birthday today. She got lots of calls and presents, and even had time for a glass of wine.


Oh...930 eggs today!!

New Vehicles

We got 2 new vehicles this week. A new F-350 to take over from my last one (we came ahead 21 model years, and didn't have heated seats in the old one!), and a new Ford Edge (heated seats too).

Victoria goes To Iqaluit, Nunavut

Sarah took Victoria to the Moncton airport last Tuesday, she is now up in Nunavut, with Brad, who is on leave from Afganistan. If he thought it was hot in Afganistan, he picked the right place to go. Stay tuned for pictures of Victoria & Brad with a polar bear.

Last Weekend

Gilbert & Stacy had their open barn last Friday night to show everyone their new barn. It looks great! I'll have to find a picture of it.

Tanya was down for the weekend with Emma, Madilyn & Sarah, and while they were here they did a little dance for us.

Two weeks ago

I had good intentions when I took these pictures two weeks ago, but you know how that goes. We got hammered with our first snow storm of the season that weekend. It is all gone now, but it was a good reminder to get the driveway markers in, and finish picking the junk up.
