School is now in session!

I just finished 2 days of Sheep Shearing School in Westminster, MD. I got to shear 4 1/3 sheep while there and watched countless other shearings. I started will a sheep as big as I was... well, that's what the gentlemen on my team joked when they brought the ewe to me. She was definately too large for me to handle at this point with my limited sheep wrasling (wrestling said with an eastern shore accent... c'mon use your imagination!) expierence so I got about 1/3 of the way into shearing her and had to stop and have the instructor finish it. The guys promised they would find a smaller one next time and they kept their word! All 4 of the ones they brought, I was able to completely shear... at least enough to get their winter wool coats off of them.


I learned so much.... and and very tired and sore!

Lee and Jenn May 15, 2010

Lee and Jenn let me do their engagement photos. So fun...but so different from any photography I have ever done! Here are some of my favorites. I will post more as I can. Let me know what you think!

Random Family Updates

Birdie has been taking her first steps! She is so cautious... but loves the attention when we all stop whatever we are doing to watch her!

Ruby has been so funny. Recently when I was putting her down for a nap she said " I am a good princess." We also heard her singing " Amazing grace, how sweet I am." And boy does she have Daddy wrapped around her little finger! :-)

David and Jonathan ate a whole burger and a half each last night! I am beginning to wonder how we will ever feed them when they hit the teen years!

Summer and Sophie have been sewing and knitting up a storm! I can hardly walk upstairs but the items they are producing are wonderful! Hopefully I will get them set up with an etsy store soon... but since we don't have internet at the house.. well, it has really cut down on all internet related posting. :-P

Lee and Jenn are still planning for May 15th as their wedding day. So much planning... but the Lord is really blessing them! Ribbons and candles in her colors, the church and a hall for the dates they wanted ( available only a month or 2 in advance!) and so much more! I did their engagement photos and I think they turned out alright... hopefully I will get to post the pictures.
