Days like this m
ake it all worthwhile.
As you could very well imagine, living on a farm with my parents and two lively boys can be trying at times, but days like these make up for all of that. Mom and Dad had several days of fencing to work on in order for the pastures to be ready for winter. We dressed Landon up and sent him up the field with them where he remained until lunch. Mark spent the morning tilling gardens and preparing them for next years harvest while I got to work making lunch. At noon the whole crew came down for a feast of egg salad sandwiches on homemade bread with my relish, kefir smoothies and chocolate chip cookies. As lunch was winding down we glanced over to find Landon trekking across the ring back towards the field. He decided then and there lunch was over and it was time to get back to work.
He has since been designated foreman, white hard hat and all.

My boys would love to live on your farm! I hope in the next few years we can move out into the country ourselves. It's definitely the kind of life I would prefer.

Those memories are lasting, my son Sam who is 14 just wrote a paper this week for school about his memories with his Nanny and Papa at their "Farm". You and your children are very blessed!
