My baby!!

As things happen with Kale, I find myself saying "that is the LAST, first time that will happen with him" and this morning was no exception.  Kale lost his first tooth!!  We had to hunt for it in his bed but it was found and is safely waiting to put under his pillow tonight!  While there is a silent sadness that I will never get that moment again, I am reminded just how truly lucky and blessed I am!!  Someday I can just get excited over my grandchildren's firsts!!!  :)

Nothing but boy

While the rest of us were plucking chickens this is what our little man was doing.  He obviously is much more concerned about getting equipment cleaned up and ready for harvest than doing chickens!   Thanks for cleaning my grain cart buddy!!!!




A little chicken pluckin'!!

As per Fank Family tradition, we butchered chickens again for 2012.  Not exactly MY favorite thing to do, but we are pretty sure it has become Ana's favorite thing to do!!  This is the first year we have tried to get the kids involved in the process, and Ana did just that.  She loved every bit of it.  You will notice that neither of the other two are in the picture - they didn't see the fun in it like Ana did, haha.  Ana helped in the whole process - catching them, chopping the heads off, cleaning them out, etc.  Not sure if we should be ecstatic that there is someone who is ecxited about doing it or if we should be worried that she is so excited to be doing it!!  :)
