We're in!

It's been a crazy couple of months, and we enjoyed a few weeks living at my mom's house after moving out of the apartment, with all of our boxes and furniture stashed in the shop at the farm. As of Sunday though, we're officially living in the house!




There are a few projects still waiting outside (goat fencing, finish rock on the path to the door and the basement window wells, etc), but we have only a couple of days of work left in the house! The kitchen tile will get grouted Friday night and the sink will go in, and then I will have a fully functional kitchen! Having used a Utilitub in the laundry room though for the last few days, I don't know how people live without one...

Despite all of our boxes, and our ability to fill the kids' rooms with outdoor gear, the house looks nicely sparse. We will slowly pick up more furniture but it is the busy season outside that calls first. We have plans to plant more than 20 fruit and nut trees, some other landscaping projects, get the garden prepped, and the goat barn totally finished. I have a couple of 2 month old La Mancha does waiting for pickup in Shelton, and hope to have a milking doe here in the next month or two! We're also safely (and healthfully) into the second trimester with little Schweglet, so the action should keep on rolling into August (and beyond)...

I hope you're all enjoying seeing the first signs of spring!
