Intro:
Joel was reading this rough draft and he was like: “What’s with you and that word?”
I love it but I know, I used it in the last post and that is highly irritating. So let me get it out of my system and I will try not to use it again for some time…
“Bucolic, Bucolic, Bucolic, Bucolic, Bucolic, Bucolic, Bucolic, Bucolic, Bucolic, Bucolic…”
It’s such a frickin’ cool word that’s all.

Real post now:
The other day I looked at my schedule and realized that I had three days that were totally empty! And during those same three days, Big Daddy was going to be working 12-15 hour days.
Now my grandparents had just left for Florida so their farmhouse was just sitting there empty… beckoning me…
So… WE GOT OUTTA HERE!
The kids and I spent three days doing nothing, playing with the kittens, walking the farmyard, playing Legos, eating pre-made food (I cook from scratch, so it was a wonderful break for me). It was incredible and just what we needed. It was hard to come back.
It was my first road trip by myself with The Fab Four Chickens too!
I had packed two little dresses that won’t fit the girls next year… sniff, sniff, bawl…
and Aidan is my little hat head and looks like such a Dapper Dan… it was the perfect time for a photo shoot! And shoot I did!
Indulge me here. And if you find endless photos of my chickens dull, that’s okay. My Gramma reads my blog and she’ll love it!
Thanks Gramma and Grampa for use of The Farm!
We made some great memories!
Ohhhh…never ever apologize for showing off your family. Your chickens are beautimous and your blessings! As a Mom of five grown chickens, I’m here to tell you, (and many told me) it is going to go by in a blur. One day you’re going to look over your shoulder and realize those chickens are running ahead planning brood of their own.
Revel in your memory making so you can look back with joy on these memories…!
Hugs~
Angela – those photos are, well bucolic. You have a real talent…
The country is inspirational for taking photos and so are those cute chickens! LOVELY spot, wonderful memories, I’m sure gramma will LOVE it!
XOXO

Well Angela…you really know how to have fun! With my chickens getting ready to leave the nest (one off on her own and the other soon to head off to college), I am fearing the empty nest! This post has brought me so many wonderful memories this evening, thank you!

blessings to you and your sweet family!

Love your blog and the children could be models
Love your blog. Have been reading it for over a year, but had to be a follower to comment that the children are sooo cute and should be models
have been reading your blog for about a year and a half and really
Also, very hard to write comments here:(
Gorgeous children everywhere! I enjoy when you share their photos.
Sigh…
You are so blessed! What beautiful children. I love seeing pictures of them.
🙂
Lovely pictures & sounds like a great giveaway! It seems like no time since my 4 were that small ~ it goes so quickly (sigh) ~ enjoy it!
Have a great day
Renata:)
Those kids are just SO. STINKIN’. CUTE.
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Made me smile.

Thank you so much for sharing the photos of your family. I was just thinking – they will be so happy one day that you took the time to take these pictures. They are just beautiful. So sweet
How could you ever think we might find those pictures dull?! Anything but! A good reminder for me to go and take some photos of my chickens with the chickens that keep escaping at the moment and eating all the basil I was growing for pesto!
You should become a photographer… your photos are amazing do you use any special program for editing? I would be really interested since we just had our first baby and it would save us oodles to be able to take our own beautiful pictures such as the ones you took!

They were all sweet, loved looking at them. Such innocence!!
