Ryan's gone again!




Well, last Tuesday we made the drive to Allendale to take Ryan back to Grand Valley State University. He got placed in a newly constructed dorm with apartment suites. He 's in a four bedroom, with two bathrooms, and a central eating and living space. He even has a full-size fridge, oven, and dishwasher!! It's definitely better than my fist apartment! The bedrooms are tiny with just enough room for a twin bed and a desk, but with all the other ammentites who can complain?


He's so excited to be back on campus with all his friends. This first time coming back home isn't easy after a year of freedom. We'll all be used to it by next summer break, but it was a little hard for everyone to adjust to another adult living in the house. :) We'll miss seeing him everyday... but we already have plans to meet him at Uncle John's Cider Mill in a couple of weeks.

Love ya, Ryan!

The girls are getting big, just eating and sleeping the summer away. I was grocery shopping and saw this beautiful watermelon slice and had to get it for the chickens. They are so used to getting treats now that they rush the gate when we try to come in the run. They come running out of the coop when we call to them. It's so cute! I think within a few weeks I'll have the first eggs.
