raisingkings: Our first Light Sussex chicks!

Our first Light Sussex chicks!

We incubated eggs from our own hens! I put 21 eggs in and only 4 hatched! We'll do better next time though. I am thinking a few of them just weren't fertile as our hens were really young! Anyway.. these four little guys are thriving! I guess they can't stay in the bathroom forever, so hopefully we will get something built for outside soon!

The kids are loving this new excitement! Can you tell?

My husband Sean and I met at Green Valley Community Church in Placerville, California eight years ago on February 6th. We were engaged by August and married by October 8th 2005. We hit it off and have been best friends and soul mates ever since! We now have three beautiful children, one loving puppy, two cows (we board), four horses and 9 chickens!

Three years into our marriage Sean decided to leave the comfort of his home town in California and join the United States Army. I gave birth to our third baby in Minnesota while he was in Basic Training at Fort Jackson, South Carolina. Since then he's been through AIT, we moved to Fort Hood, TX and he's already been to Iraq for a year. In the last 2 years we had only been together for the first five months we were stationed in Texas. I can finally say our life is back to normal. The children are adjusting to having a Daddy again and we enjoy every moment we have together.

I'm a stay at home mom and enjoy every minute I have building and caring for our home. We've decided to home school our children and teach them in the ways of the Lord. Each day of my life is a growing and learning experience that I enjoy. I am more in love with my husband and family every day! The Lord has truly blessed us. We seek to serve and honor him in everything we do. We don't always, but that is our prayer and our desire.
