Olive and Rosemary are here



Well obviously it has been a while since we updated our blog. We keep saying we need to be more consistent with updates but 3 little girls and life seem to keep us busy and before we know it, a few months have gone by.
The newest additions to our family are Olive and Rosemary, 2 pigs that the girls just got this week and are raising for 4H. I can't believe that we have pigs in our back pasture but they are here! The girls are doing really well learning to take care of them. They are getting up a little earlier than normal before school in order to go out and feed and water them and haven't complained so far.:) The Western Montana state fair is the first week of August and that is when Kiersten will show her pig and it will be auctioned off to the highest bidder. Madison's will probably just go to the butcher at that point. (That could be interesting, since she loves animals).

Malea is doing great. Kiersten reminded me tonight at bedtime that we arrived back in the US with Malea on Good Friday of last year. This year has just flown by and it feels like she has been a part of our family forever. She is almost 21 months old and has a fun personality and I must add that we can tell she is approaching the 2 yr old independant stage! :) She can hold her own with her sisters.
Marc's job is going well, many challenges that keep him on his toes but he says he is enjoying it. He is looking forward to fishing the MT rivers this summer and just bought a raft for us to float some rivers on once it warms up.
We hope you all have a blessed Easter and enjoy time with your family! Please keep in touch.
