Soccer begins! Fall 2013



There are two little tikes taking the field by storm this fall and I am hoping they don’t take each other down out there in the process.  So far, so good.  Skeeter is mainly interested in taking water breaks and looking pretty out there in her gear.  Rooster is just out there to socialize and enjoy his friends I think. He really doesn’t care about actually winning.  Now, Knothead is out there to win it.  He LOVES the sport and LIVES to hit the field.  Even after two soccer camps in subsequent weeks this summer, the kid could not get enough! 

Skeeter is a budding engineer these days: destroying, taking apart, figuring out is her game.  Her little hands are NEVER idle. Still, she might also still be a nurse. She is enjoying her Doc outfit and loves to see blood and boo boos happen!  She also likes to comfort the injured, thank goodness!  She will do some serious surgeries on me and recently pulled a fruit snack out of my right leg. 

Rooster is still a little scientist.  The 10 bucks I spent on 3 butterfly bushes have entertained him for months. He sees moths, butterflies, and even hummingbirds out there and catches them often.  He studies all the wasps, bees, and critters he can get a hold of…even it if mean tearing up my landscaping to find the things. 

Knothead is a budding teacher/social worker. He lives to be with “Bugie” our foster baby and is so compassionate.  If he can’t play professional sports, I am decently sure he is going to be helping people one day. 





I can’t believe my oldest little man is an independent (even if golf cart) driver around the farm.  Sarah is cute, but really no help!  Sarah Belle gets so mad if someone takes her seat on the cart.

Loveland Farm's Fall babes


It is has been an odd summer and fall on the farm for me with a young baby.  I have not been out much. I think I have been on the 4W once this winter/summer, and now that baby, baby girl is growing to be an 8 mos. old it is time to bring back the grand tradition of strapping the car seat on the golf cart and checking cows.  This fall we had another set of twins and I THINK these are going to make it! Yeah!  One is usually/sometimes not accepted by the mother, but this one is nursing two with seemingly no problems.  I am thankful since we certainly don’t have time to feed any more bottles.  This torrential raining has made for some abundant grass and happy cows!  The farm looks like a video game with florescent green grass and electric blue skies when the sun DOES come out!
