Some updates and tons of pictures...

So I know its been awhile since I've posted (sorry). I have been super busy. My husband and I have started to work on our garden. I've never had a garden of my own before so I'm really excited. We have been preparing a spot for our garden the past week or so. Haven't been able to do much the past few days because its been so cold and rainy, but as soon as it warms back up I hope to get back out there and fix it on up. We need to mix in some compost (store bought because we have already used up the small amount of home-made compost we had) and make sure that its not going to freeze anymore and hopefully plant some seeds after that!! (cross your fingers that this garden turns out a ton of veggies and herbs)!!. Also we have been incubating some chicken eggs that we got from my sister-in-laws homeschool group (I've been meaning to get some pictures....another time perhaps). They should start pipping around the 18th....so we're really excited to see how they turn out!!. But here are some pictures that I have taken recently...some of our garden, Liam, and Liam's new lambskin comforter!! Enjoy and have a wonderful day!! (above)...So here is our Maggie-girl sleepin' on our bed....so sweet.
