(How's that, Papa?!)

A busy day in the country

Mariah played with and fed the goats.

She named them Annie and Amalia.

Some of us call Amalia "Molly".

Mariah and cousin, Gabriel, are happy to see each other!

Nana, Mariah, and Nellie in the garden.

"I love Annie!"

Who needs goats when you have a good sandbox!

Baby Pheasants!

Mariah and Papa bring the day old pheasant chicks home!
Mariah took them out of the box.

All 50 of them.

One at a time.

Talking to each of them.

One at a time...50 of them...

They're SOOOO cute!

"They should have a mommy

to teach them not to poop in their house."

Adoption Update

We had our Home Study last night.

It's a go with our agency!

Now we have to wait for the State of MN to approve our license.

We will become licensed foster parents so

when we find the children

that will complete our family

we can move them in immediately

instead of waiting 3-6 months

until the adoption is finalized.

We could be adding a kid (or kids)

in a month!

Mommy's Helper

The plants are thirsty! It was very warm today! 80!!!
Filling her watering can...

This could keep her busy!

Watering a peony.
"Tickling" the statue!
On the phone with Papa.

Getting the farm report!

Papa got 2 goats and Mariah was checking on them.

They are adjusting well to their new home.

We will see them in 2 days!

Papa wants Mariah to name them.

Open up and say AHHHH!

Mariah's first dentist visit.

She brought her baby, Clara, for support.

Missy the hygienist, is very nice!

Mariah did GREAT but

says she didn't like the "Grape Part".

She tells us, "I don't need foo-wide."

aka fluoride

Carnival!

Abby, Mariah, and Jamie

at a tiny carnival in the drug store parking lot.

In the belly of the beast and Mariah had NO fear!

"Spin it FASTER!"

Mariah and Jamie

wait for the Tilt-A-Whirl to start.

Goldfish!

Mariah has new pets.

3 goldfish she has named

Sunny, Dirty, and Bubblecheeks.

Mariah's First Twins Game!

The MetroDome is that building up there

that looks like a big pillow!

Mariah and Mama walk to the game.

Her first game and it was "Bat and Ball Day".

A pink Twins shirt and her own bat and ball.

What more could a three year old ask for?

FACE painting! Awesome!

She can put away a quarter pound Dome Dog!

The Musician

This is the guitar "Auntie Brian" made Mariah.

It is a smaller version of Auntie Brian's.

It's a bit out of tune...

Most guitarists have a smoke while they play.

Mariah has bacon.
