We got two Great Pyrenees dogs from Tennessee at the beginning of this month, but this was not a sudden thing. Once we found them, we pulled the trigger on getting them quickly, but to get to this point, we have to go back to 2017 and another trip to Tennessee.

June is when Dan and the boys started working on the barn projects. Back in the winter, Mark started this work with the removal of the milking stalls. After Dan retired, there was some organizing that needed to happen before the work on the second floor and woodshop could begin but things are finally gearing up!

This past year we have started doing an intentional family night each week. With the kids being adults and having their own schedules, it's not as easy to do things together as it used to be. Some weeks it seems like we only have one or two dinners as a family! (That's rare though). While we love game or movie nights, we got this Adventure Challenge book for Christmas a few years back and decided to start going through it.
