Yesterday our doe (that is what you call a female rabbit) had her third litter of bunnies. So far, so good! The first two didn't make it, so this is very exciting for everyone. I counted six, or seven, or eight . . . they are really hard to count when they are that small and wiggly! We will see how many there are in a few weeks when they start hopping all over the hutch. Craig is beginning to formulate plans for our rabbit tractor. A rabbit tractor is a moveable pen that holds the rabbits on the ground which allows them to eat grass. The tractor is moved each day so the rabbits always have a fresh supply of grass. This way the droppings are naturally spread out on the pasture as well.

Jane Austen anyone?
JMJ
Well, I caved. I took this silly quiz. I don't think it is accurate, though I don't know that I am equal to any of Austen's characters. Be silly. Take the quiz. Let me know who you are.

Where did Jan., Feb., and March go?
JMJ
I can't believe I have more pictures than I am able to post. The days slip by and I think I will have more time to post tomorrow; then the days turn into weeks, then months.
This was a nice day in March, around the time of the boys birthdays.
The boys birthdays were hard because it was Lent and everyone was sick. Actually, I think we were sick most of February, too. We were well for a little bit, and now a few of us have colds again. It could be worse, but I will certainly rejoice when the warm weather is here to stay and we are all well in body (an hopefully mind and spirit as well!).
We have slowly moved to a Gluten free diet because of some of the problems Henry has been having. He stopped sleep through the night a month or so before Cecily was born. I don't mean that he gets up once or twice. I mean that Craig was getting up with him between 15 and 20 times a night. He doesn't want to sleep with us, nor have one of us lie down with him. We really have tried everything. So I started cutting out wheat. But the more I read, the more I realized that wasn't enough. Now, we are doing a modified GAPS diet. I will have to write more about it later, but it certainly has been a good Lenten trial.

Christmas 2010
JMJ
I am sorry I can't type more.
Craig said his favorite part of Christmas was when the kids came downstair and were transfixed by the new Christmas train. They just stood there for about ten minutes and watched. Truly childlike wonder.
This is the table St. Nicholas brought for them. He also brought a children's snow shovel, which Joseph actually got to use that day.
Henry and Anastasia were enthralled, not with their presents, but with the packing peanuts!
Aine become quite the "material girl" in her new clothes and sunglasses.
The reason for it all! We love this nativity set. It is beautiful and durable. Craig and Joseph built the stable.

Anastasia's Birthday
JMJ
I am sorry I a so late in posting these, and the kids are going nuts behind me, so I can't take the time to give a lot of info. about them.
This is Anastasia with her birthday present from us. I didn't know how to wrap it, so I used a big piece of pink fabric because I knew she would like it if it were pink. First thing Joseph said that morning after he saw it was, "Aine has a big birthday present wrapped in a curtain!" The kids curtains are made of the same material.
Anastasia is so sweet. This is the first thing she said once she knew what it was: "It's a doll house for US!" she never thought that she wouldn't share it with her brothers.
The whole family pitched in and made noodles. It was a lot of work, but they were REALLY GOOD!
The kids playing with her gift from Grandpa and Grammy Dresch. Aunt Jessi put the bow in her hair.
Anastasia blowing out her candles. Uncle Shane did the crushing of the pomegranate to dye the frosting pink. It tasted great, too.
