Baby Brother

Abel is now nearly 18 months old. Which makes him more of a little boy than a baby. I just went through our pictures from the past month and found a common theme of Abel watching his siblings outside while hanging out with mom inside.

But can’t you see it? This boy who still toddles and waddles is ready to be a big kid. He’ll be so ready by the time he’s allowed to help split wood! He’ll be so excited to join in the work and play outside!

Until then, he’s not at a loss of things to do. He and “pup pup” are turning out to be very dear friends. And there are plenty of items in one room that need to be moved to another room. All day long.

I am a mother of six, married to a never-saw-it-comin' aspiring farmer in Southern Minnesota. As new farmers, I write about our transition from the city to the country with hopes of sharing our joy and gratitude for all that we are learning.
