Today, when I woke up, I thought to myself I want to take some pictures of our day, and share them on the blog post so I can look back at them in years to come. I had no idea that this would turn into such a fun day.
We have two family traditions on Labor Day. The first is we labor. We always take this day off of work to get some work done around the farm or for someone else. The second tradition is we end the day with ice cream. So, the project for today was to finish the new chicken coop. Jeremy decided that since everyone was coming over he would make brisket for an early dinner. Brenden and Bekah had designed the new coop. So, they gathered the team and Luke, Andrew, and Davey got to work helping get it done. Miah, Stephen, and Zach helped me get some other yard projects done, so we will be ready for our annual Day of Trumpets party in two weeks. Papa helped make sure Hally got a nap, while Lydia and Rosie took a nap in the family room. Birthday boy played Minecraft with the littles. And I gave Cody a hair cut to show Lydia how to use the clippers on Luke’s hair.
But, this year we had a couple extra fun blessings. The first is Tyler Ann’s fiancé’s birthday is today. I always thought it would be so cool to have a baby on Labor day. Christopher my soon to be son was born on Labor Day 28 years ago. So, cool. I hope his momma isn’t missing him too much today. But, we are so glad to celebrate his birthday with him today.
The other unexpected surprise was our Matron Dame gave birth today. This is so crazy because Sables rarely give birth out of season. They typically only mate in Autumn and birth in Spring. But she gave us a beautiful baby girl, and her daughter, Coca is also due any minute. It has truly been a super fun day.
We had a fun water war (forgot to take pictures) to cool off from our work. Here are the pictures from the weekend. We spent Sunday at the Lake with my parents too. Saturday, Chris proposed to Tyler.
We had such a blessed and full weekend.
