All of these pictures were taken while the farm families were still living in trailers.

I always forget how tiny Jenny was when we first moved here!

Sweet little Meggy.

Oh my goodness... that was a long time ago. Funny how sometimes it can seem like it was just yesterday!

Megan, Jenny, and Grace enjoying a birthday party.

My brother, sporting the rugged farm-boy look.

That's Megan and me, with Connor in the backround.

Jenny, getting to know the kittes better.

Here we have the Third Day Farm's first annual Fall Costume Party!

That's Josh and Stephy, having some special time together.

Ohhh... so cute!

This picture really doesn't fit in with the time frame of the rest, but I thought it'd be nice to post it anyway. After all, it is pretty precious... Daddy and his little oldest girl!

Birthday Celebration

Five years ago, a sweet baby girl was added to the gang of grandkids living on the Third Day Farm.
Happy birthday to Cassia Lauren McCluskey!

p.s. Doesn't Mama look extremely young in this picture? I love her with the new glasses. Not that I didn't before, though. :)

This year she had a flamingo/princess themed party. She's every inch a girl, that's for sure!

Guys. More specifically, Josh and Connor.

Girls. These two in particular are called Ashley and Clara.

I think she's happy. That's good, because it was supposed to be a "happy birthday" party.

A Morning With the Little Ones

Three of my four young charges (John was napping, like a good boy).

Jenny said that I shouldn't put this on here, since "It's awful." David combed his hair all by himself this morning.

I think he looks rather dashing... and a whole lot older than his four years.

The Dandelion - #1

"Someday I'm gonna be big and strong like Josh, and Dad, and Mark!"

Showin' off for big sis.

A lovely young maiden among the wildflowers.

Just because.

They're pretty sweet girlies.

They remind me of poor little orphans in a third-world country, playing in the dirt. David said they were making sand art. I love babysitting...
