Life on the farm



Life on the farm is fun. I think after these few months I've decided I'm a city mouse rather than a country mouse. Hmm, we'll see once we have lived in the big city for a while. Anyway, here on the farm we never have to throw food away. Anything that we don't eat or that goes bad gets thrown over the fence to the chickens. It is so funny to watch them dart for the food. The kids help find the eggs in the evening. I think the record is 18. The huge rabbits aren't very lively in their little cages, but it's fun to help feed them, too.


The farm dog, Waldi, is also a favorite with the kids. The cats sneak around all day long, but not in the house (thank goodness).

Watch out Germany - here we come!



Our first months in Germany have been like an extended vacation. It's been fun to watch the kids adjust to their new surroundings. We've done a little adjusting ourselves (our belts) because of the good food. So, don't rub your eyes if you think we change a lot throughout these pictures. He he!
