Tractor rides, rain and a bit of baking

Here is a shot Marlow yesterday, helping Joseph pack the van....sort of. As usual, it took forever to get everything packed so we could get on the road. But we made it, and are having a great time. I kind of forgot to take many pictures today, but got a few, mostly taken by other people using my new camera.



Eliot with Grandpa's hat on. We went on a tractor ride this morning -- technically we sat on a trailer and were pulled by the tractor, so we went on a "trailer ride." Eliot, especially, loves the tractor and wanted to go on another ride as soon as it was over. Unfortunately for him it rained all afternoon. But maybe tomorrow we'll get another chance.


Bailey wanted to try out my new camera (did I mention I got a camera for my birthday? I really like it a lot...I've just got to train myself to use it more) and took a lovely shot of sweet, happy Gemma.


Marlow and I enjoyed a little cooking in the newly remodeled kitchen. We made egg salad for lunch with some of the eggs from the chickens....they have a LOT of eggs here. And we made one of our favorite desserts that I generally make around Christmas: Rugelach (rug-a-la) from the Enchanted Broccoli Forest. It is a really yummy pastry with a sweet filling, and it is really easy to make -- try it.

So, I have a goal of posting a little something everyday... we have a goal... Joseph is going to help out on this one cause we made this resolution together. This should get interesting (actually my fear is that it won't be interesting), and hopefully I will get better at it....most of the time I don't really know what to say, but at least I'll have a picture or two to post. G'nite.
