Introducing...

...our chicks! We ordered 24 hens and 1 rooster from a place in PA that hatches them. Last Thursday we picked them up at the post office all came safe and sound in a little tiny box. They were very cramped, but I guess they stayed warmer that way. We are almost finished their house and coop, and in a week or two they should be ready to stay outside. They have already grown quite a bit in the week we've had them! Right now they are in the utility room in the basement.

Riding lesson!

Sorry for the lack of posts lately. We haven't had many exciting things happen, but stay tuned for some new animals on the way!
A long while before we moved, Mom and Dad promised Timothy a pony when we moved out to the country. We are working on finding one, and we are going to look at a miniature horse next weekend! In preparation, Dad and Timothy have been taking riding lessons from our neighbor, and Eric and I clean the barn for her in exchange for lessons. We also hope to get a full sized horse or two sometime.
These are all pictures from one of Timothy's lessons. He is riding a pony named Patriot.
