As you can see, we've been busy planting seeds. We have several more flats not pictured, which we just planted and have not yet sprouted.
We also added to the poultry collection. We now have 12 buff orpington chicks (the yellow fluff balls) and 10 americanas. The orpingtons are straight run, which means we will have a random mix of male and female chicks. The americanas are all pullets (female).
The kids are super excited about the chicks, and we even got to show them off to my nephews and niece. Nathaniel's sister's family came to visit us yesterday, which was convenient since we got our chicks that morning and school was canceled (due to the teachers protesting in Frankfort).
Most importantly, Elijah was confirmed in the Catholic Church last night. Here he is with our priests and the archbishop, who presided over the beautiful Mass:
Lydia was intrigued by the Mass, and she was thrilled to know that when it's her turn, she will pick a patron saint. She loves Saint Kateri and has decided that she will pick her. Of course, she has 5 years to change her mind. Elijah picked the prophet Elijah, and he wrote a nice paper on him. Elijah enjoyed the Mass, except for having to wear a tie ("a noose!") and a red gown.
