Happy New Year!

Family News:
Tonight is New Year's Eve. Zoe, Ian, Tom, Jeff and Jan are having a party. We have played Harry Potter Uno, read aloud a couple of more chapters in "Beyond the Spiderwick Chronicles - The Wyrm King", and now we are playing WII Bowling. Tomorrow, we will be watching the Oregon Ducks win the Rose Bowl!!! Great food is planned.

Farm News:
On Tuesday, Dec. 29, 2009, we welcomed 4 new ewes to our sheep flock, Holly, June, Mae, and Alice Ann. We picked them up from Kate Sherrill in Svenson, Or., and drove them home in a bad snow storm that literally paralyzed Portland for awhile. Luckily, we knew how to get to Drumcliffe via "the back roads" so we didn't get stuck in the gridlock of the Portland freeways.

Today, we took pictures of our new girls and then introduced them to their new flock. Everything is going well.
