Been a little quiet on here lately, but I just have to brag on our farm kids for a minute.
Man, are we lucky.
These two are the heart of this place. They put up with the long days, the late nights, the early mornings, and all the things that come with farm life. They don't complain, they just jump in.
What almost 3 and almost 5 year old wake up asking to do chores? Ours do. No word of a lie. Ava gets real pi**ed if we aren't out that door at a certain time 😂
Ava and Luca collect over 150 eggs every single day without a second thought. They fill a whole crate by themselves, and the next morning they're ready to do it all over again.
Luca watches for me on the tractor or skid steer and is already running to open gates before I even get there. I don't have to ask. He just knows.
People always say they're "just kids," but these kids know what responsibility is. They know animals still need to be fed when it's cold, when it's hot, when you're tired, and when you'd rather be doing something else. They know that farm life doesn't stop because you're having an off day.
We don't sugarcoat much around here. They see the good, the hard, the exciting, and the heartbreaking. They know that sometimes things don't go the way you hoped, and that's just part of raising livestock. It's all part of the life we've chosen.
They've got more grit and work ethic than a lot of grown adults, and I couldn't be prouder. So when they ask for something, they usually get it. They earn every bit of it.
Watching them grow up with dirt on their boots, egg baskets in their hands, and a love for this life fills my heart in ways I can't even explain.
These kids are why we keep going on the hard days. We're raising more than livestock, we're raising good humans.
And I think we're doing alright. ❤️
has watched these two grow up. From a few weeks old to little humans they sre today. And she ways captures the best photos, no matter what mood they are in 😂
