This is the Day That the Lord Has Made!

Benjamin is our primary worship leader in the mornings!
Although, he sometimes allows others to play his guitar
so he can play his drum. :-)
He is also our family's primary source of cuteness
all throughout the day. 
 Joe still loves his Lego's!
 I asked him to show me his favorite right now. . .
Timmy is doing really well with his reading!
And almost every day he is asking
(usually by way of written invitation)
his siblings to play games with him.
 And most of the time he can get a few to play.
Tents are a common occurrence in our living room.
This is where you'll find Kyle most of the time during the week.
(In Daddy's office.)
He's very diligent to work on his school work
and LOVES writing!
(His first book is in the process of being published!) 
You can find the first half
of a a new story he is writing here:
 
 When he's not working on building his muscles
over at Meemom & PapaBob's house,
or working for Boss, :-)
he enjoys being a part of the
school's trap shooting team.
He hopes to post a video of his latest trap shoot soon!
 
Caroline is learning another awesome new song on the piano!
(Pirates of the Caribbean!) 
We are ALL really excited about it!
 
  Please pray with us that her thumb heals quickly
from a little incident
she had while helping a 95 year-old neighbor's cat.
Caroline goes over every Sunday
to give the cat an IV of fluids
to help his kidneys function better. 
Well, this Sunday, something went terribly wrong,
and the needle attacked her thumb!
 
And after pulling it out, passing out,
her 95 year-old friend calling 911,
and the paramedics checking her out,
she'll soon be playing the new song
just like Jarrod Radnich!  :-)   
 
Both Caroline and Victoria keep themselves
quite busy with their Boer goat breeding program.
They have worked sooo hard to get where they are with all their does and their very special buck
(pictured below.)
They are very excited about all the goat kids
their does will be having soon!!
They also have worked very diligently
to create and update their website. 
You can see much better pics of all their beauties at:

They also have acquired great goat showmanship skills!  
Many folks enjoy hiring Victoria and Caroline to help show their herds of Boer goats at various shows.

 
Victoria is also working hard at training her horse Gracie
to follow her commands without the use of reins or verbal cues.
 This involves mostly hip movements
that tell Gracie what she is asking her to do. 
She has made a lot of fun progress!
 
Valerie keeps herself very busy with her
ongoing AKC labrador breeding business.
She is sooo excited about her newest additions . . .
the great grand-daughters of our family's
first yellow lab, Annie. (Deceased)
She named them Annie and Ellie.
She has worked very hard on
creating and updating this website:
 
She is using most of her earnings for orphan care! 
 
Valerie is also finding that she really
enjoys administrative work,
as she is helping out on a temporary assignment 
in our church's office.
She is also excited about learning some book-keeping skills!
 
 She also has an Australian Shepherd that she just bred and currently has six brand new puppies!
The website she made for them is:
 
You can follow their growth as she takes new pictures and posts them each week!
 
 
That's all for now!
Good-bye!

I love reading all the updates about each and every one of your family members. Well, at least each and every one of the kids. You have always been quite camera shy, and I'm thinking blog subject shy, too. :)

When I listened to the piano solo that Caroline is working on, I was waiting for the "Yo ho, yo ho, a pirate's life for me!" But it didn't come. ha ha! That was beautiful, though. Maybe Caroline can work in a little "yo ho" on her rendition just for me!

All of you guys sure are gifted with unique talents! It's amazing to be reminded of the productivity and busyness of that house! :-) Thank you Mommy for documenting all of this...I hope you will turn your blog into a book one of these days!

So neat to see how all of you are developing your own interest and talents. It is wonderful Robyn, that you are documenting all of this. It makes it a little easier to live far apart, just to be able to see all of the family and the latest news.
Will be waiting with bated breath to hear the newest song played by you, Caroline. So proud of each of you
and love you all so much, Meemom
