2013 May/June Family Farm Updates

Seems as though I can't find the time to do consecutive months.... None the less I am back...We've had a great  spring (albeit very wet)  with the kids busy with activities and  finishing school.

Henry finished  (1st) and  did his second year of t ball smacking home runs every other at bat ..   Sophie finished  her final year of nursery school and participated in the school's theatre camp.  and stays busy searching for worms and other nature creatures.. Willa is now getting ready for her first year of nursery school.

.Aimee 's Nursery school  president term continues on as she spearheads a kitchen renovation along with all the other school activities. We had a record Big Truck Day charity event this year and Henry and I got to participate in as the head chef and top kid bus boy  of the burger and dog shack

We had a great visit from Pappi and Granny for memorial day despite the rain Under Pappi's watchfull eye Henry caught his first big fish... Sophie also got into the act as well.

Andrew's been busy at GE continuing to travel and find our next big thing for Health care .. (still searching)  My golf game is rounding into form although I think the heart surgery last year knocked a few yards off my drives.. I think this means new clubs are required...

Ever known anyone who owns a bar (or at least part of one)  I hadn't until my good friend Kevin bought into a new bar in Winooski called the Mule Bar.. Great beer cool décor and quality food. Sounds like the ingredients for a success. Kev I and Aimee have had a couple visits along with old friends Chris and Jackie visiting..

The big news for us is a new roof is under way at the farm.. Turns out like most of the projects so far on the old house that there where a few surprises. Namely a sub roof made of cedar shingles... So ... the project will now of course take a bit longer and cost a bit more.. The joy of an old house. The good news is we've got some updates to the porch for lighting ...

Enjoy the pictures and happy summer. We are off to NC in late july for a Hildabrand Family Beach  Fest!!!
