Farm Life

Welcome to Forgy's Dairy, y'all!

So this past weekend we have been in Pennsylvania. I was staying with Aunt Betty while Mom and Dad and Daniel were at Pap Byler's.

Anyway, I thought I'd take some pictures of the farm and share. I'll tell you one thing: those Jersey calves are adorable.

{Hello!}

{You look funny!}

   The calf above on the right is a Jersey, the brown and white one is a Gernsey, and the black and white ones are Holsteins. Random cow info, I know. :P

This little baby is only a few weeks old, I believe.

My cousin's daughter Elizabeth.

This is one of my favorite pictures, I think. This is Levi. He is so hard to get a good picture of, but he's so adorable!







Well, that's the farm!
Hopefully, I will soon be giving a news flash on the most recent project at our house. And no, I'm not telling you what it is until I do the post. :P
Stay tuned!!

Announcement

You guessed it! Nathan and Jacquelyn got engaged!

Most of you probably knew already, but I thought you might like some pictures.

The wedding is October 28th.

This was taken at the Sweetheart Banquet

The one above and these two were taken while they were still dating.

These two are so cute together!

For those of you who don't know, our church (Lighthouse) and Calvary have started our own camp at a facility about an hour from us. Last year was our first year to try it and we did it for three days. This year is all week (August 7-11), and we're busy getting ready for that. So excited!!!

Picking up the Torch

It's been a long time, y'all! Hannah has been really busy with nursing school, so I decided to take up the torch and continue posting in her place. And what could come first but the beautiful little girl added to our family this past Thanksgiving?!

Of course I'm not biased. She's just super cute! I'll even prove it.

This was her Easter picture

Now don't you even try to tell me she isn't super cute. See! I'm not biased! :P 

So I realize that was a short post, but I'm just getting started people! First time ever, so give me some slack here. :D Stay tuned!

Holiday Happenings

I hope you all have been enjoying the season's preparations as Christmas is just ahead! The weather has been teasing us this December, and it looks like Christmas will be warm and certainly not white this year. We've had a few frosts, but the thermometer climbs back up to unseasonable temperatures!

We finished out our shopping and wrapping this week and made our Gingerbread Houses last evening along with Jacquelyn, Melinda, Andrew, and Amelia.

Mom ended up with an extra little house once all the pieces were cut, and so, for probably the first time in the (almost) twenty years we've been doing gingerbread houses, Mom and Dad put one together!

In classic fashion, Daniel does his best to photobomb =P

(the houses from left to right): Mom & Dad's, Melinda & Andrew's, Bethany's (in back), Daniel's (in front), Hannah's, and Nathan & Jacquelyn's

Since we were all together, we also celebrated Bethany's 17th birthday (which is actually the 22nd). Hard to believe the little sister is turning seventeen!!

 And some random pictures:

Adorable little Mia is growing and attracting everyone's attention! This child may never learn to walk. ;)

And one other little piece of news.... Daniel shot his first deer, an 8-point buck!

Merry Christmas, y'all!

The Best Things Come in Little Packages

This Thanksgiving, we had an extra blessing to be thankful for: the arrival of Amelia Grace Engelhart at 5:02 Thanksgiving morning! 

She was 6 lb. 4 oz., and 19 1/2 inches long.

Baby Alert

This past Saturday, we hosted a baby shower for Melinda. There has been much excitement around here for the soon arrival of Amelia Grace Engelhart, who is due November 18 (and her Mommy hopes not a day too late!) =D We were blessed to have quite a number of friends come for the shower, as well as Melinda's mother-in-law and grandmother-in-law.

We had a great time of fellowship and enjoyed "oohing" and "ahhing" over all the cute little girl clothes! I think Amelia may be the best dressed gal in town!

We are praising the Lord for His grace and goodness and praying for a safe delivery of a healthy baby girl!
