The kids are on their way home and I’m so excited to see them and hear all about the adventures of the ranch.

Lydia and Adie had fun holding their 2nd cousins at the Anniversary party yesterday. I even got a sleeping snuggle which is the very best.

She couldn’t find the right size bag, so of course she just makes exactly what she wanted – zipper included. She cracks us up.

Peter and Caroline celebrated their 50th Wedding Anniversary today.

We now are raising two catapillars. Max and I went on a little adventure to find milkweed.

Adie learned how to cut the grass. She wasn’t too happy to learn this skill, but she’ll get over that.

Not every Dad can rig a z pulley in the basement to make a zip line.

”If we messed up the entire basement, we could swim in a sea of toys.” Titus

Lydia, “Could you just be helpful.”

Many nights Adie says in her Veruka Salt voice, “Daddy please carry me to bed. When I’m twenty you will regret not caring me to be.”

So tonight he not only carried Adie to bed, he also carried Lydia.
