News?

Not a lot.

I am in the process of hiring a new Ag tech worker. I have two candidates. We shall see how it goes.

We traded some guineas for a weekend at a resort on the island of Siquijor. Its a small island just to our east. Inday and the kids will head over in 2 weeks.

Lorenzo read his first book at 2 weeks past his 4th birthday. He had been working on a list of 40 sight words and decided to just read a book instead. His aptitude is scary.

Toni is advancing rapidly in ballet. She has a natural flexibility that gives her an edge. He ballet instructor was in the Kiev ballet and feels she has real potential, She wants to make sure that when the kids come to the USa that Toni will get in front of the right coach to enhance her talent.

We are building 10 chicken tractors for the chicks to spend time outdoors earlier. They need more sun and an outside life.

No more goat births yet but some on the way.

I am doing a ridiculous amount of units at school. Busy as heck.
