Farmer Horne


Well, we thought that we would take advantage of the beautiful land that God has surrounded us with and the barn. So, we have now added 3 ducks and 6 chickens to our family. The ducks are "Boaz" the brown boy duck, "Ruth" his wife, and "Tinkerbell" his concubine (named by Lucy girl herself). They are actually really sweet! They chirp for us and when we come to see them, they run to see us. Aparently, they can live up to 30 years and are good "companions". We got them just for fun because they are so stinkin cute. Maybe one day we'll have little families running all over the place.


We didn't name the chicks because they are all girls and we can't tell them apart. They are "laying hens", so they each will lay an egg a day. Cool, huh! Guess we'll be having a lot of eggs in our diet.


We also got 2 new (scary) rabbits that look evil to me. Hence why there is no picture of them.

Blessed promises fulfilled through Christ's birth, life, and resurrection!

We had a very blessed Easter, celebrating the resurrection of our Lord! The morning started @ 6:45 am with Sunrise Service at Greg's parents' house out on their front lawn, it was cold, but beautiful to listen to the resurrection message and watch the sunrise over the mountains. After the message, we had the hugest breakfast with pancakes, biscuits and gravy, sausage, muffins, quiches, potatoes, fruit, etc.... with about 50+ other believers. Later on in the day, we had another feast at Greg's parents' and enjoyed the beautiful, sunny day that the Lord made!!!


This picture was taken on the side of "our" house. Lucy loved her dress. When she looked in the mirror that morning she said "oh....Lucy princiness" as she twirled back and forth.


Throughout the week preceeding Easter Sunday, we read about Jesus' death and resurrection. Grant found this branch and put it on his head saying "Mom, this is like Jesus' crown of thorns". Lucy of course tried to do the same.

Grant got a bunny the day before Easter. Another Warden's son "sold" it to Grant. Believe it or not, it's a baby. Grant loves him and he named him "Jack".


Lucy and Mommy and her giagantic new bunny rabbit from her aunt. It is bigger than her :)


Some very good friends of Greg's parents made this uniform for Grant. When they showed me, I had to hold back the tears. It blessed me so much to know that they went through so much trouble to bless my son. They put a lot of time and effort into doing this and Grant was so, so excited!!! If you know Grant, he is so serious most of the time, but when he saw it, he had the hugest smile on his face. He wore it for the rest of the day and to bed that night and is still wearing today.

Daddy ready to go "enforce the law" and Grant wishing he could go with him.
