2010 - Apr- Special Blog Update

I know most of you wait religiously to the end of the month to get the previous month's update but this one was so important we are doing a SP (special post) ..... Our 3rd child arrived on monday April 5th at 4:48 pm ... Willa Lucy Frost weighed in at 7 lbs 4 oz and 20.5 inches.. She is doing great and is keeping us up ... I think we forgot about late nights as well as the labor thing... Incidently, while I am probably going to get in trouble for this... from my vantage point it looked pretty easy... 4 pushes and willa came out .... anyhow it was a trouble free labor which of course is a good thing... We've posted some pictures...you'll see she has lighter hair which is a first for a frost- hildabrand baby... Fortunately, Jaque and Ted have been up since easter and have been a great help in taking care of Henry and Sophie ... Henry and sophie are excited about baby and are helping out where they can...

Lookout for spring we are getting excited to be outside with our new family member ..

2010 March Farm Activities

Well march was in like a lamb and out like a lamb... temps in the 70's hope you in the northeast enjoyed the weather... we did .. its getting green
This year's sap quantity was a bit smaller and we only made 8oz of the vermont gold... We did however get more at vermont's maple open house and we visited a couple of new sites...
The big event for the this month was henry's 4th birday in which we had 10 kids and 12 adults.
There are good choices and bad choices for a child's birthday celebration.. while henry loved his batman theme which included cake, capes made from granny,scavenger hunt and batman movie.. what wasn't a good choice was Dad's choice to dress up as batman's enemy penguin . The problem was penguin scared a number of the kids including our sophie...the parents I think where a bit scared as well ... the idea sounded so good ..... you be the judge

We are counting down to b3 .. due date is april 5th... we will keep you posted...
