Savannah's 23rd Birthday!

Our dear Savannah turns 23 today!!!!



"Savannah Nicole"

Savannah - from the open plain, southerner
Nicole - people's victory, victorious people
meaning behind her name: "victorious people from the open plain"


We are so thankful for such a sweet sister, daughter and friend as our Savannah!  She is always there to help and do what needs doing, without being asked.  Savannah goes above and beyond and puts as much love and care into what she's doing as she possibly can. We are so thankful for her gentle and quiet spirit and we can't praise the Lord enough for giving you to us!  Happy birthday Savannah!  We pray that the Lord greatly blesses your year to come!

Savannah

Savannah is 22 years old and is the third born in the family.

Savannah stays busy with the dairy and the farm, taking over all the extra jobs since Jordan and I have moved out.  She is the main "kidding" person, with the job of feeding and taking care of all the baby goats that are born on the farm each year.  This year she had 50 to take care of and bottle feed, but she did a superb job keeping track of who was who and making sure each one was well taken care of!


She is a favorite with the nieces and does so well with them.  You can often hear them walking around asking "Where's Nanna?"  She's patient with them and lets them "help" her with just about anything she's doing and is often seen holding or snuggling one of them.  She always makes time for them and shows them that they are important to her.


She is a wonderful helper in whatever situation is going on and pitches in and offers help without ever even having to ask.  She has a way with the little ones and can keep them entertained and happy very well.  Here she is being a bunny puppet for Evangeline!


Savannah started a fudge business a few years back and is still going strong with it.  She makes it and sells it at the Farmer's Markets that the family attends.  It's the best fudge you will ever taste!  If you've got a sweet tooth and a hankering for some fudge, you've come to the right place!  Her candle  making business has been doing good as well and she has come up with several new scents in this past year.


She is also the main cook for the household, making many of the meals on a daily basis.  She is a natural in the kitchen and is so comfortable with trying new recipes and getting them to turn out!  She amazes me with her ease of cooking.  Many times, I'm giving her a call to ask her about this or that in the kitchen.  I love eating Savannah's cooking!


Another new addition for Savannah this year has been getting braces.  The first few weeks with them were the hardest I think, but now that they've been on for a little while now, she's getting used to eating with them on.




Savannah is an irreplaceable part of our family and we love her dearly.  Her cheerful attitude and her sweet spirit of thankfulness make her a joy to be around.


"Therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, put on tender mercies, kindness, humility, meekness, longsuffering; bearing with one another, and forgiving one another, if anyone has a complaint against another; even as Christ forgave you, so you also must do.  But above all these things put on love, which is the bond of perfection.  And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to which also you were called in one body; and be thankful."
Colossians 3:12-15

Savannah's Birthday!!!

May 17th, Savannah turned 22!


Savannah is a wonderful sister, and one of my very best friends!  She is a hardworking and quiet with just enough spunk to make her a lot of fun!  Her and I often get laughing about something silly and just can't quit.  She has a gentle, genuine presence about her that makes anyone feel comfortable.


Happy, happy birthday dear sister! Wishing you all the best in this year to come!  We love you dearly and thank God for you!

Sister, Sister...


Me and my "little" sister, Savannah!  
(I tried to put her in the slight slope so she wouldn't look that much taller than me, but it didn't really work!  ) 

I love this girl to pieces!  Savannah is such a joy to be around.  She is lighthearted and cheerful and is  one of my very best friends!  Hardworking too, but she always knows how to enjoy whatever she's doing.   It's so much fun when something strikes our funny bones, because neither one of us can control our laughter, so we end up egging each other on, only causing the giggling to increase and the tears to roll!

She is also very understanding and a good listener.  Many a time I can ask her personal opinion on something and know that she will tell me the truth. 


Ecclesiastes 4:9-12  (KJV)
"Two are better than one; because they have a good reward for their labor. For if they fall, the one will lift up his fellow: but woe to him that is alone when he falleth; for he hath not another to help him up."

 The only thing that would have made this picture better would have been to add Jordan to it! 
 Love you both, Jordan and Savannah!

Savannah's Birthday!

On Saturday, May 17th, Savannah turned 20!  




We praise the Lord for blessing us with Savannah!  She is such a sweet part of our family, and we couldn't imagine life without her.  She is selfless in so many ways, never thinking of herself.  She is truly a gift from God and we are so thankful that we have been able to enjoy her for 20 years now!  We pray that the Lord blesses you mightily in this year to come Savannah!
We love you!


Favorite Verse:
"Trust in the LORD with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct your paths."

Caleb's Visit: Part 3

Jordan and Caleb going for a walk



El Chaperones! 
(Who have no idea why they volunteered for this job!)
And yes...we put the poor boy to work.  No, no, no he volunteered himself for this one.  
Our kitchen vaccuum looks a lot smaller with him using it though.  He told us his sisters had one like this only when you push it, balls pop up in the center......very funny, Caleb!

Planting the Garden


We have started planting our summer garden. So far we put in potatoes, broccoli, spinach, cabbage, and sugar snap peas, along with the onions and garlic from the fall. About two or three years ago we learned about "lasagna gardening". It's where you layer your garden with leaves, hay, manure, cardboard, newspaper or anything else that you want to put in. You never till up the ground; you just dig a hole big enough for the plant, put newspaper around the plant to keep the weeds out and the moisture in, and mulch with straw or hay. Before we started using this method we were to the point of giving up on gardening because by summer the weeds were so high in our garden that you couldn't see the plants. And we also had really sandy soil. But after only a year of lasagna gardening we now have rich, black dirt and TONS of earthworms tilling up our soil for us! It works great!
