I know there are a lot of new pics, but we had to fit in the vacation to NY and the latest updates on farm life. 

Yesterday our sow "Big Red" gave birth to 12 of the most adorable little piglets. This is what I saw when I checked on her at about 1:00 pm. For those of you that are challenged in your anatomical identification skills, that is the foot emerging from Red. 

A piglet literally seconds old. 

Is that a piglet or squirrel trying to get a drink? 

Here some of them ar already starting to suckle. They acted as if they had never eaten before... oh wait... 

Jenna would not leave the building hardly while Red was having the babies. Here she has one of the minutes old piglets. 

Kayla holding a piglet. 

I don't know if this will come through as a pic. or a movie, but when we went to see Aunt Kelly at work, she got called away to an accident... and since she is a flight paramedic she left in a helicopter. The kids thought this was very cool, and so did we. 

Grandpa and Emma. I don't put many pics of Emma and Trevor on because they are absolutely adorable and I don't want to detract from my own kids. Seriously though we had a great time with Trevor and Emma, and we all got very attached to them. We already miss everyone up there, but we know we are where God wants us, so we will deal with it. 

Grandpa and two of his girls. 

We went for ice cream in town, and they had this old rail plow sitting there, seemed like a good photo op., or that is what I was told anyway. 

A sunset at the farm. 

Here is the clan, or at least some of it. Kayla took the picture. 

Grandpa and Grandma have a really pretty stream running through the woods on part of their property. We seem to end up there every year for the scenery and a swim. 

Ummm. Kayla playing in the stream with some of the falls in the background. 

Each of the kids claimed an island in the creek as theirs. This is Kayla on her little piece of paradise. 

Jenna and her island 

Ian's island 

Kayla sitting there in the hay because... 

Is Jenna sitting or standing? 

Jenna grazing on the hay. 

After the gravel pit we went to the town park for a swim( you will learn about the gravel pit shortly) Who is that Babe in the background? Some of you may find other humor in the picture. 

More fun swimming at the park. Really we went there to remove sand from places. 

Jenna and her cousin Trevor would spend all day on the tractor if they could. 

When we are at the farm, and there is no hay to do, things can get a little slow for the kids. So, you make fun out of other things,,, like grandpas gravel pit.
