Wow! where do I even begin. I feel like we have been so busy but then when I try to think of what we have done, I can't remember. Our computer was fried in a storm we had 2 weeks ago, so off it went to the mac store. It was a big pain in some respects(like checking to see if soccer was cancelled after so much rain) but it was kinda nice not to have anyone asking if they could use the computer next. They form a line around here.
It is definitely Spring around here. Audrey went to feed the rabbits and there were 4 babies in the nesting box. What a surprise since we didn't even know a rabbit was pregnant. Unfortunately the babies all died. We don't know why. The kids were disappointed. A few days later we were delighted to find two baby chicks. One is black and the other is yellow. So cute. We have really enjoyed watching the hen teaching them and caring for them. She even has a special cooing sound to call them. It is so neat to watch. How could anyone look at anything in nature and not believe in God. I just hope they are girls because we have 2 roosters already and they don't want to share.
We (Olivia,Caitlin, and I) finally finished course 2 of the Wilton cake decorating class. The second course was hard because of the flowers. Who knew those little flowers would be such a pain to make and that if you didn't cross your eyes just right the icing wouldn't turn out right and your flowers would turn to soup? Did I mention the class was hard? I am being dramatic but it was more challenging and our final cake turned out very pretty. Olivia loved the class while Caitlin has decided it is not her thing.
We are finally going to move the baby girl goat out to the barn this weekend. She has been spending time with others during the day. Of course if she hears Olivia she starts crying. But most of the time she seems content. She has really grown. And as much as I love her , I am ready for her to be out of the house. I am ready not to have to buy pee pads and have to explain that "no, we don't have a cute new puppy but a goat in our house" and then get a weird look.lol She can be rather smelly. But we still love her.
I guess the biggest news is that our bathroom is finally finished. It looks gorgeous and the antique tub is wonderful. And you can turn around in the shower without hitting your arms. Cool, huh? The best part is all 7 of us do not have to share one bathroom anymore. Actually, it wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. And a small bathroom is easier to keep clean. But boy is it nice to have our own space. And my brother in law did such a great job on it.
Well, I know I have written probably way more than anyone cares about. I need to be getting to bed seeing as we have soccer games tomorrow morning. That is if we play. It is pouring right now and supposed to keep on until morning. We shall see. Hope everyone has a great weekend.

Wow, girl, you have been busy! I love the fact that someone else kept a barnyard animal in their house... we kept Daisy, one of our lambs, in the house for 6 weeks when she was a baby. And yes, I got a lot of those looks you're talking about. (We also have three chicks in the living room right now, but I'm not telling! LOL)
I love your pictures. The horse is gorgeous... is that the only one you have?
Talk to you again soon!
Paula- That is our only horse. His name is Sunny and he is a big bubba. We are all in love with him. The goats even seem to love him. Thanks again for your comments. It's nice to know someone reads my stuff.
