Our chicken coop!

The nesting box is blocked off for now, when the chickens are old enough to lay, we'll finish that part (and by 'we' I mean Rod...)

All the metal was leftovers from Rod's work..the roof, the window screen stuff, and the square wire at the bottom. The wood used for the walls is wood they use to pack the metal in that gets shipped to Noorda. So it was cheap!! (or "cheep" as the chickens would say....okay, let's all groan together on that one, sorry, I couldn't resist!)

Jordan's Birthday

Jordan is 1 now! I can hardly believe it! He had a great birthday though, and definitely enjoyed his birthday cake. At his dr's appointment he weighed 22.8 lbs but he feels a lot heavier than that to me. We haven't heard any definite words yet, but he likes to wave, play peek-a-boo, and blow kisses. He can stand himself up, and walk around with one of those baby walkers. Jordan is a total boy! He is so much more active than I ever remember Lynnea being.

Here are some pictures from his b-day party at Grandma's house.

one of his new forward-facing carseats....looks comfy, huh?
