The Griesbaum Family: Let's Make it Happen

Ever since we moved out to the country we've talked about having a garden and raising chickens. Until now though, they were just plans. It was debatable whether those things were actually going to happen, as life sometimes gets in the way. To my pleasure though, we seem to be right on track with everything! We have our garden started, and we should be getting our chickens either this weekend or next weekend. I'm so excited!

We got potatoes and onions in the ground this weekend, after building the fence. I plan on planting carrots, turnips, radishes, spinach, broccoli, and lettuce later this week. It feels so good to be out in the spring weather digging in the dirt. Nothing satisfies me more than having to scrub dirt off Gavyn's hands and face before dinner.

The kids are growing like the weeds I'm sure to be picking soon. Gavyn has been really into puzzles the past few days - so much so that he is sleeping with one right now. He gets focused in and gets on a mission to do one after the other. Alli is getting so strong and is almost sitting up on her own already. Other than gardening, we have been enjoying the spring weather, going to the goat farm for breakfast and to see the kids, doing our gymnastics, having play dates, and learning all of our letter, colors, and numbers!
