Duck Egg Update
Well, our female duck, Quackers, decided that sitting on eggs was boring and not for her. We destroyed those eggs but saved the new ones for eating after that. She caught on and is hiding them somewhere. So we are hoping to establish some new patterns at the farm when we get there. So far it is Ducks 1-Humans 0.

Hunter's Birthday
Hunter, Today is your 9th birthday. Our last birthday in the single digits. I am so glad to have been chosen to be your mom. Your smile is contagious and joyful and your sweet self endears you to everyone around you. Have a wonderful day and I hope you always approach life with the same positive excited outlook. We love you so much. and I hope you have your goats soon!
We are Moving!
We are moving to our farm and our tentative date right now is Oct 22nd, 2008. I can't believe it and it has been a miracle from day one. There are still a few miracles to go before it's all said and done, but how can I doubt it anymore! The kids are ecstatic and can't stop jumping around. We can't believe that it is going to happen. We have had a great time the past few weeks. Summer's Flag Team has been doing great. They placed 10th at one competition and got a trophy. Garrett has been playing center and loving it. Hunter has had a spectacular soccer season so far. His team is 3 -1. So it has been great! I will keep everyone updated on our farm doings!

Football Guys
This is Garrett, Hunter, and Daddy playing football. Sorry it is so far away but I didn't want to disturb the play and the camera won't zoom in video. Enjoy anyway. They were having a blast!
Duck Eggs
We woke up this morning and noticed our female duck was missing. I was afraid the bear finally got one but no! She was sitting in the corner of the duck house on her FOUR new duck eggs! We don't know if they will hatch but she seems to be a good setter. It says 28 days til they hatch! Let's see what happens!

First Performance and Signs of Fall
Well, Coudersport HS Football Team had their first game in the new stadium Friday and The band and Flag Team had a marvelous performance. We are going to be following much more closely now with Summer in Color Guard. It felt like a football night. I even wore a wool sweater. Please see Summer's video in the next post.
Rabies Clinic
We had the cousins up and had a great weekend with them. We worked the Galeton Rabies Clinic for 4 -H and the boys loved filling syringes!
Garrett's New Blog
Garrett has started a turtle blog to document Floyd's growth and development. Check out his blog at www.theturtlenews.blogspot.com. I added a link in the sidebar.
Boys Archery Shoot
We took the kids over for their annual Sunday shoot at the archery fest. They had a blast and are all getting to be wonderful shots. Soon we will have a hunting crew you won't believe. No deer will be safe. Don't you love this shot of them at the moving target, all lined up!
More Archery Fest Pictures
Breakfast was served daily in the back yard and even attracted a few gnomes from Duncansville to Archery fest. They are world travelers who hear this was the place to be.
Archery Fest Pictures
We had our annual archery fest weekend a few weekends ago and this year was a success. Shawn and Kay brought their new pig roaster and a pig to roast, the plan was to start the pig and go shoot some archery but everyone was so excited about the pig and the Corn Hole Game tournamnet that the archery never got shot.
