Friday October 14

So after three days with daddy gone....these little ones were more than excited to see him!

It was bright and early when they grabbed their blankets and headed out the door to wait for Dad.

(This is when that wrap around porch we have in the future will come in handy! )

I love their sleepy eyes.

Dad was happy to have his welcome home party.

But I am glad to say, I got the first hug from him :)

We had a busy day ahead.

We cleaned out Dad's shop....well, he did mostly.

I just hauled things (with the 4-wheeler) from the shop to the house.

I also got Elsie's room painted today.

We have one very pink room now....and one very happy little girl :)

Oh, and I am happy to say she slept good last night.

She still woke up, but went right to sleep as soon as I covered her up.

I hope tonight is the same way.

Actually, it would be great if she didn't wake up at all.

This evening the Young's came over for dinner.

Actually, we were invited to their house for dinner....but we thought it would be great to have them out here so Drew could lend a hand on a few things around the place that I am not 'beefy' enough to help with.

And the kids had a blast hanging out and running around.

*****

Kara and Madi found a porcelain doll.

I would think that would be a little scary to find a little baby sized hand or foot sticking out of the ground, but they were more than excited.

They got her cleaned up and threw the clothes away.

The body was pretty bad, moldy and stuff....so I told Madi to just take the body parts off from the torso, and she could remake a new one.

She was excited to do that.

*****

Heather was great to play along with Elsie and they went on several Buffalo hunts.

On the last hunt....Hallie found a little ladybug.

She wasn't too keen on holding it....but Elsie was loving it.

It is so great to have such great friends.

Thanks for hanging out with us guys, and letting us share our fun little farm :)
