the Birds and the Boys...

we picked up a dozen layer chicks... this was their first day outside! Otis especially enjoys holding them, he's quite the "Chicken Whisperer"

Changes in the new year...

Well, most folks likely already know, but I thought it prudent to update our Blog: Amy and I have decided to separate. We are both staying in the Montpelier area, and will share custody of oTis and Ben. We are still very good friends and are committed to being the best parents we can to our boys, to working together, and playing nice :)

Know that we hope everyone will support us in this difficult decision and understand that we are doing what we think is necessary and best, for ourselves and for the boys, and we value your continued friendship and support directed towards our entire family. Don't be afraid to ask us questions or talk about this with us... we value openness and need the support and understanding of the people in our community. Thanks...
