A glimpse of my weekend...

Mum and Dad's new bee house, from his buddy Willard (and time will tell if this helps the bee population in the orchard)-

One of my favorite flower beds; there is something blooming all summer-

Rhubarb Torte-

Lizzie at the Caledonia bowling alley-

Mummy (she milks four shifts per day; twice with the goats and of course twice with the cows)
Doesn't she look comfortable, though? And if they get late at night, they (Mum and Dad) turn on the tractor radio so they don't miss the Twin's game-

Dad and Pete and Polly (Polly in his arms, she's a real sweetheart and Pete's very rambunctious)-

The rest of the babies (though apparently there was a new one born since I was there) and they are so talented they can all drink at the same time; they have lots of room to run, jump and play outside now, and so they do-

Trav planting his cabbage, broccoli, and cauliflower (actually this might have been last week, we actually mulched them last weekend)-

Visiting Truman's farm, this is Marci and her new daughter Maggie-

And this is Midge-

Trav's tomato plants (they're actually in the porch now, and the plant stand is full of a majority of peppers, among a few other vegetables; apparently I'm planting my herbs tomorrow, as Trav has filled two flats of containers of dirt for me)-

And my most recent belly picture; I think this was around 20 or 21 weeks (we're getting close to 24 now! on Sunday)-

Check out these ladies...

I wonder if the babies realize they are already on such close terms with their little cousins/siblings :) The future Moms are standing like this because they eat together, and they are the final two to kid this year. (This is the "before" picture, Mom will be posting the "after" pretty soon.)

Kids galore!
How lucky is Dad, that this is his job every morning and night.

Little Sweetie

Curious George


Harriet and Family Portrait (and while these photos were taken, every single family member had their motor running)

Little Smokey
Morning views from the farm-

I was trying to get updates of everything for KT, and totally forgot about the chickens; oh well, I guess you have those in Italia.

P.S. Coming soon, Liz's photo shoot with her new car.

Baby Lingen

I mean, how cute is this baby? Ve was also moving around like crazy the whole time.


18 Weeks

The following are pictures from Easter. I'm apparently too spacey to remember to take pictures when everyone is around, so I missed a bunch of people, and somehow missed my Mummy, even though she was still there; but here's the rest of us...
And oops! I accidentally caught Steve in the garden and Trav itchin' his butt.

Ultra sound picture post will be coming soon...

I planned on putting up my pictures last night, but got home from errand running too late and plumb wore myself out. I promise to post them tonight. (Everything went well :)

And yup, I'm having a baby. I'm happy to see that Miss Eveline Divine is also following the blog... Hopefully you don't mind if I put your blog on our little blog roll. I'm excited to see what you've been up to in China.

Buona Pasqua!

Hello all!
I hope you all have had a delicious and enjoyable Easter. I went to my friend, Alessandro's, house. We ate, and ate. His mother had made pasta and we ate lamb and chicken and pasta ... If I had stayed any longer I would have become a ciccione (fat person). For right now I'm just going to post a bunch of photos and write about them later.











To be continued ...

Happy Easter!

Especially to Percy (who baked and decorated this cake) and Katerina in Italia- we love you!

~The Wistes (& Trav and Steve)
