She's getting along, and we discovered that she knew how to open the food bins, out of the shed they went. (No more midnight snacks :rant)

A-HA! Now we know why she LOOKS like she is pregnant. That should diminish now that she isn't feeding herself ;)

and a sledge hammer to drive the 9ft posts till they hit clay which is usually till they are 4 ft above the ground.

You are putting posts FIVE FEET in the ground??? :thNo wonder you all hurt.

Come on Newton, you can do it! Hold out for a combination kid/wedding day event, only 8 more days. NO ONE involved will ever forget it. Remember to wait until the "Do you ... take" part to drop the kid, make a lot of noise right then.

I am so proud of newton! I was honeslty going to be happy with just a single healthy baby, but instead she gave us two!!! The boy is around 4 pound and the girl about 3! Newton has been an amazing mother! By the time I got in her shed one was dry and the other was being cleaned. Both babies have been getting their tummies worth of milk and have figured out the whole nursing thing:celebrate the little girl did have difficulties at the start but she eventually figured it out. And at this moment poor Newton is just passed out... poor girl must be tired :hugs
