Happy Birthday Lizzie!

We had one excited four year old this year!  Here are a few pictures from her family party - thanks to Kate for taking most of these!

 Mimi and Martin (and yummy food in the back ground):

 New bike!  She had been riding her tricycle all over the place and is definitely ready for this larger bike (with training wheels):

 Wearing her new "Happy Birthday" shades:

Thanks to everyone that came - she had such a wonderful time!  I wish I had a few pictures of the kids playing with the balloons - such a hoot!

Mid April

We have had a few great days this April.  A few weeks ago the kids and I spent a chunk of the day at the farm, watching the moving greenhouses, harvesting into our buckets, running through freshly tilled soil.  You can't beat a day like that!

 Last weekend was the annual HOPE festival in Orono.  We look forward to this every year.  Not only are there booths, but also a kids area, a juggler, someone on stilts and interesting speakers.

 Introducing buttercup!  Or maybe Princess Buttercup?  The jury is still out.  This is our first year with a cow - I am thinking we are going to enjoy it, especially come fall!  I love the markings on her face.

Easter!

Decorating eggs!

Mimi's annual Egg Hunt - great success!

Easter outfit!

Outside play

We are having a lot of fun with this teeter totter!
We got to use Lizzie's new wooden airplanes:

And the slide!

Birthday!

Our baby is 1!

What a great birthday party! We had great food, nice family and Martin got some great toys and clothes. It is hard to believe he is one already! He is now walking with great confidence and even starting to run.

The Farm

A few shots of the farm. Now that we have a little help, things are starting to shape up for summer! Some beds are prepped:
The raspberry beds:

The garlic is growing:

The pigs are resting:

March & April

I am a little behind on my blogging. Here are a few catch up pictures of the kids. I love Martin in these overalls!
These two are playing so well together these days!

A few weeks ago we had our annual spring dinner with family. The kids had a great time watching the talking tree and we all had a great visit!
