The Beginning of Sumer

Life on the "farm" has been grand. Summer is here, I am off from work and MK is down to less than 19 hours at daycare per week. So much happens with toddlers that it is hard to summarize however, he is in the parrot stage, repeating everything we say. He is developing a fun sense of humor and he LOVES to tease Huck. We have a gorgeous backyard that becomes another "room" for us in the summer. Our garden is full of veggies and fruit. We have strawberries ripening and broccoli to pick. Our hens have a new home, and they are laying 2-3 eggs per day. We also are raising meat birds for the fourth summer. Matthew just finished the Hen house. We love it. He has also been busy working three jobs and keeping our house in order. We have visitors coming this weekend. The Endrud's will be here with their two girls and we can't wait to host them for the second summer. Then Matthew's family comes to stay over MK's 2nd birthday. So glad they are coming. We have not seen most of them since last July. My family comes at the end of July and up to Rangeley we go. Our days are full (Eileen) getting our house ready for the travels to stay. But we always have time for visitors. Enjoy the pictures. Hope this finds all of you happy and healthy. Love, Matthew, Cathy, MK and Huck
