An Update From the Barn~

It's the Strang Sisters/ Ebenezer Forest Farm Girls Here! Today, we thought we would give you all an update from the barn! Here is the morning in pictures:

---------

~Bethany: This is me at 7:30 am, hoping that Fiddle will behave herself and get to the milk stand promptly and obediently so that I won't have to chase her. It's still morning and I guess you can say I'm not in the "catching a wild goat" mood.

~Shiloh: Here is Fiddle- full of milk! Yum!

~Bethany: And while we work, Fiddle eats...

~Shiloh: Yes, this is the Ebenezer Forest Farm Girls in our Milk Maid attire... Mommy gave us her old warm vests and they keep us warm while we are cold outside.

~Bethany: Here we are by our "Milk Machine".

~Bethany: And these are all the babies.

~Shiloh: First is our little buckling Moses. We have a post about Moses scheduled to appear on Monday so check back!

~Shiloh: Here is our little doeling Miriam. Bethany and I practically raised her since her Mama Doe wouldn't nurse them... Now they think we have the food!

~Bethany: How cute! The kid is sucking on Shiloh's finger!

~Shiloh: We learned very quickly that baby goats do have very sharp teeth...

~Bethany: Only a saber-toothed goat could do that!

~Shiloh: Ah! our favorite buckling!

~Bethany: And this is me--I just love this little buckling!

Simply. Vashti.

THE GOAT ATTACK!!!

~Shiloh: We hope to post more (soon) about our milking adventures!

~Bethany: So, stay tuned!

Until Later,

{Ebenezer Forest Farm Girls :)}

The Bring Me Hope Night Walk!

This year our family was so blessed to once again host one of the groups for the 2009 Bring Me Hope Night Walk for the Chinese Orphans!

-----------------

Here is Judah with his BMH shirt!

In preparation for the walk we taught Judah how to say, "Bring Me Hope"! When he says it, it often sounds more like "Bring Me Home". How cute and yet how true for the Orphans...

Yes, this year we grew! Last year it was just our family, but this year the Knifongs and the Ashmores joined us! Below is everyone listening to the conference call.

Jamie Lyn K., Brie Ella K., & Eden S. look on...
