ridge runners: May 2011
http://vantiganloofarm.blogspot.com/2011_05_01_archive.html
Thursday, May 19, 2011. Around the yard again! But first a little fuzzy early morning story time! A walk around the yard with the dog. Getting down in the dirt! Helping out papa with some tractor work. Well we are blessed that we can finally BE around the yard. The garden is coming along slowly, which is FINE with me. If anyone has tips for gardening with a not quite 2 year old. That don't involve electric fences or something like that. David really seems to like stepping on the plants. Links to this post.

ridge runners: almost a MONTH!
http://vantiganloofarm.blogspot.com/2012/05/almost-month.html
Monday, May 14, 2012. Wow it's been a while again. I do love this blog, but something about the time it takes me just gets me down a bit. Although I don't take ANY time to do any sort of "babybook" for David and Ada, so this is my stand in. Therefore I should be posting ALL THE TIME! Those kids are so sweet and cute it hurts. But then our camera is broken. So there is that. Here are some shots from long ago. Sweet times with Tia and Joe. Amen to how sweet and cute they are! It is all amazing.

ridge runners: on forgetting
http://vantiganloofarm.blogspot.com/2012/03/on-forgetting.html
Sunday, March 18, 2012. I was thinking the other day that I am going to forget things. And of course I don't want to, and to even think about it makes me sad. Of course there are things I will remember, and of course I should be writing things down. And of course there are things that I have already forgotten! David is such a sweet boy. he loves his sister and his papa and me so much. Because I already have ONE hard drive sitting there waiting to be unlocked for less that $1000. He says "machel syrup".

ridge runners: February 2012
http://vantiganloofarm.blogspot.com/2012_02_01_archive.html
Monday, February 20, 2012. Is it Spring already! Ada does not seem at all concerned with the man in the trees. He loves it up there! I think the view must be amazing! The apple trees are looking REALLY good! Just woken up face. so sweet. Be still my heart, that boy is my heart. I stopped him RIGHT before he uncovered the strawberries - that are still sleeping. Sometimes I just want to post pictures, but then I remember that this is more than just pictures. it's stories too. And then it's clear as DAY!

Which is a fun way to do it if I do say so myself! Annie Kathleen quickly became the queen of the barn. Check out the girl in her boots. too cute! OnePotatoTwo: Ne...

Saturday, October 15, 2011. I need to start taking more pictures! There isn't even one good one of Ada Ruth to post. Part of it might be that big brother thinks that when. The camera comes out HE should be taking pictures,. So it's hard for me to even pull it out these days. I'll be better. before all the good light is gone. Links to this post.

ridge runners: Beulah comes HOME!
http://vantiganloofarm.blogspot.com/2012/06/beulah-comes-home.html
Sunday, June 10, 2012. They had to walk her down their steep driveway. I can't tell you how happy we are. Aaron has been doing a work trade for some friends for a long time to get us this cow. And we are so happy. I think I am falling on love with my BARN! Which isn't good because it is rotten. Today I made yogurt and Paneer. And washed a LOT of jars! It feels good to be back under a cow. You look so happy and young, eliz! June 11, 2012 at 8:44 AM. June 11, 2012 at 1:35 PM. Love your blog- Phyllis.

ridge runners: July 2011
http://vantiganloofarm.blogspot.com/2011_07_01_archive.html
Thursday, July 21, 2011. The garden today. and a few weeks ago. Before we left for vacation I took some pics of the garden. And then I took some today. It's been a CRAZY week of hotter than hot. And humid as all heck and that has done crazy things for our garden! This is the best thing ever to me. David playing in the garden nicely. Not stomping on things. He does like to say "PICK! And we've talked a LOT about the things he can pick. For some reason he really wants to pick marigold buds. And here's what...

ridge runners: September 2011
http://vantiganloofarm.blogspot.com/2011_09_01_archive.html
Monday, September 26, 2011. APPLE FEST and the truth about Carneys. We had a pretty awesome Sunday. Aaron woke up extra early to go fishing on the last day of the season. With our friends Dan and Liz. David and Ada and I stayed home, ate pancakes. And then decided to head off to Apple Fest in Gays Mills. It's pretty much a reason to get kids to want to go on rides and spend lots of money on junky food and stuff you don't really need. The minute we got out of the car David said "FUN! It's a keeper friends!
