Butter...and it's a boy!

It was a little weird. Yesterday morning we decided to read Around the Year by Elsa Beskow and one page is entitled:

It was weird because on Monday we went to the local dairy farm to pick up some milk, cream, and stew meat.

See all that green grass. I think that's why our butter turned out so nice and yellow. Anyhoo, Wednesday, was churning day. 

I let the kids shake the cream a bit and then I finished up.

There was no way we were waiting until Friday to bake, so we made some bread.

I would show you a picture of the bread, but my son broke my (well my mother's) nice camera a while back and the picture is awful.The bread was great! I promise.

Oh yeah! I went to the doctor yesterday and it turns out I'm having a boy! Yay! Taven will have a little friend. So happy. Also, it solves our room dilemma.  If the baby was a girl we were not sure where her room was going to be. The older girls share a room already and Taven has a room. Other than that we only have our loft area. So we were going to build a wall there and create another room. Don't have to do that! Taven and the newborn can share...after the baby moves out of my room of course.
