Momma said Goodies opened this weekend - I don't know what that is but Momma says they have the best creemees ever! (Also don't know what a creemee is but I'll take her word for it.)

Grampa and the family are gearing up for Spring work - fixing and getting equipment around. Uncle Pete is spreading manure (aka natural fertilizer).

Momma went to the Mom-group at our cousin's church for the first time this week. She had fun meeting all the other mommies and is looking forward to next time.

Momma and Daddy had to skip the annual Yankee Farm Credit dinner this year because we had our birth class to go to. They are enjoying class, and getting to know the other mommies and daddies.

Movement:

Daddy felt me! Because I kicked him in the head 😜😂
He couldn't feel me with his hand so Momma had him lay his head on her stomach...then I kicked good and hard so he could feel me. 😊 He laughed.

What is Happening On the Farm: 

The family had a movie night together - they showed Daddy Snowball Express with Dean Jones and Harry Morgan. Daddy said it was pretty funny. Uncle Peter and Grampa Briggs laughed as if they had never seen it before. Momma said she'll make sure I get to see it when I'm older.

Happy Easter! Very thankful for Jesus dying on the cross for me, and then rising again so that I can live in Heaven with Him someday. 💚

Momma and Daddy and the whole family had dinner at cousin Katie's. Momma loves being with family, no matter the occasion.

This week's birth class was at the UVM Medical Center. We had a short class and then toured the hospital - NICU, birthing ward, and Mommy-Baby ward. Momma says that the tour made things seem that much more real. She's excited and nervous all at the same time.
But, she really liked the hospital!

Daddy and Momma went to a workshop this week to learn how to tell our farm story more effectively. They've been to these workshops before, but they liked the refresher.

Tonight was our veterinarian's dinner meeting in Middlebury. The whole family went and learned a lot of good information about hoof care and how to keep our animals content and healthy.

"Snowball Express"...

Happy Easter! Thankful for a risen Savior!!! 😍
