We love our little house on the prairie, the pond, the rolling acres, and the peace. Chad and I have loved planting and Julianna adores her tall backyard swing. We see all sorts of animals: deer, bobcats, squirrels, rabbits, turkey, of course the country dogs (no leashes out here), the horses across the street, one donkey, and a herd of billy goats.

A slow walk down our country road. Feeding the horses across the street is a favorite activity for our girl.

Two Peas in a Pod. My daughter could not be anymore like her father if she tried. Sometimes it's crazy- all the similarities. And the thing is, he called it from the very beginning. Chad knew that first day. He picked out her little personality and defined her to a tee. He reminds me of that from time to time. Then he smiles and says, "You know how I knew, right? Because she's just like me." Must be one of the reasons I love them both so very much! (April 2006)
