More January 2016

End of 2015

 2015 has been a very unusual year, both in weather and events.  Our family has "weathered" it all very well and we are thankful!

Visited my family's church as it was getting ready for the Christmas Eve service.

 We are very fortunate to have a cheerful warm home to live in.

Our Christmas present to Us..

December Day 2015

The weather here has been more like late October instead of December 8th!  We plan on enjoying it while it lasts...

Went for a walk with Finn this morning, giving the goats a break from all of his energy.  He's a handful....healthy BIG handful!

Finn's been hunting again!

If I lay here long enough looking cute, maybe you'll rub my belly???  PLEASE!

(It worked)

 That's right I'm BAD!

This is our favorite place!

Finn at Nine Months

It's hard to believe that Finn is 9 months old already!  He weighs in at over 100 pounds and has SO much energy, some days you think he is going to explode!  Good thing he has a 10 plus acre yard to burn off that energy.  He has discovered that getting a good belly rub is a really great thing to happen...

Finn and the "Old Goat"

Husband decided to spend a little time with Finn the other morning...Finn gets so excited he can barely sit still long enough to be petted and rubbed.

A early morning foggy walk to get rid of the some excess puppy energy..Nothing is safe when he needs to blow off some energy...he will move trees if they are available.
