New addition

Hello everyone,
Just wanted to show off our newest addition. She is a grullo quarter horse. She is six months old. Her half brother is 5 months old. He belongs to Deborah and Joe. They are kind of shy just been taken from their moms. We are thinking of naming her Nutmeg, and calling her Meg for short. They are fun to watch. Mikatie and Alex are having lots of fun trying to feed them apples. However they don't know what an apple is so it is fun.
Mike will start potato harvest next week. He is busy trying to get
the last of the hay and straw baled and stacked. He went out Sunday to a guy that had two canoes he was giving away. Mike knew the man and visited forever. The kids and I sat in the truck and waited. We watched horseback riders through binoculars. He is real good to drop what he is doing and help out.

Mikatie is loving kindergarten. She is having a test today on her ABC's. Hopefully she will do well. She is going to be lost in two weeks when she is out for spud harvest.
Alex isn't sure what to make of his time with Mom. He misses Mikatie but enjoys doing what he wants when he wants. He has fun playing with Kota and Tyler when he gets home.
I start my new schedule tomorrow. I'm excited not to have to work on Sundays and Mondays. It will be interesting to get to know those that work this weekend. Well I better go see what Alex is doing. Just wanted to show off the horse.
Love you all. Hope all are well. Keep up the blogs.

Cam would love them!
Yesterday the kid were feeding the horses apples and our new one Bell is at the bottom of the pecking order, so the kids would think up ways to get a apple to her. All of them had a great time.
