More animals

We ordered 25 baby chicks awhile back and were expecting them to come sometime during this coming week. To our surprise, we recieved a phone call at 9:30 p.m. Saturday night from the Effingham post office saying that they had arrived! Kevin and Reagan left to go get them while I stayed back to prepare their bedding. Reagan was so excited about getting them and wants to hold them all the time. This will be the second time we've raised baby chicks but we have never done this many. 9 of them are meat birds for us to butcher and the rest are an assortment of ones we want for pets and eggs. Kevin also went to get some more goats on Saturday. So far they are my favorite. They are very pretty and super friendly.

Valentine's Day

Happy Valentine's to everyone. Had to post a picture of one of my cute valentine's!

We made it through

Hope everyone made it through the storm uneventful. I didn't get stranded at work like I thought I would have and I was able to get all of the shifts covered from call ins so I'm greatful for that. Our electricity was out for about 24 hours...just came back on this evening. It was fun at first...Reagan thought we were camping and loved all the candles and sleeping in her sleeping bag on the living room floor. But by morning when the temperature had started dropping, it became a bit of a bother. I had stocked up on non-parishables and plenty of lunch meat just in case we would have become stranded or without power for several days. Luckily it looks like I can forget about that! And Reagan is happy we are getting to stay the night at Grandma's house. We had packed up to stay for the night due to no power. But when the lights had come back on at our place around 7:00, there was no getting Reagan to go back home. So here we are, sleeping over at Grandma Schulte's!
