This past Wednesday, March 6th, we had to put our faithful Jersey (Jenny) down. She’s always had bad health problems (since before we even got her), but as of this past Monday came down with pneumonia that caused her so much pain that she refused to eat or drink.
Although it was hard to say goodbye Maria and I are thankful for all the things we learned along the way while we had her. She was a good cow.
Goodbye Jenny.
February. The month of many happenings.
Beethoven's 9th Symphony with friends
A Valentine's Day Tea
Caleb and I hung out with our cousin on Valentine's Day (or should I call it...Singles Awareness Day? ;))
Birthday celebration (for my two oldest siblings-Sarah and Joe)
And besides that...just life. Life on our farm.
How's your February been thus far?

January was a great month that went by really fast. Each and every day was super busy with school, meal planning, grocery shopping, family gatherings, church functions, etc. The two biggest events of this month though would include Christian & Micah's birthday party and my friend Galena's baby shower. Here are pictures from both occasions-enjoy!
1st-Christian and Micah's birthday party
2nd-Galena's Baby Shower!
Hope you had a great January!

On the last day of the year we partied with our relatives. As is tradition we had our "dawg-house" and "cousins' creamery" where Elise, Maria, and I put our aprons on, took orders, and served hot-dogs, chili-dogs, Italian Sodas, and ice cream sundaes to the rest of the family. It was great and, as usual, a blast!
We "rang" in the new year at 9 p.m. (the relatives had to leave early) with sparklers, but we figured it was okay as it was midnight somewhere in the world. ;)
Happy New Year-hope 2013 is a great one for you!

Hope you all had a wonderful Christmas!

Christmas morning I awoke to the sound of Micah's new train set...
...the smell of a delicious breakfast...
...and the sight of these beautiful red stockings.
This Christmas, in the Sturtevant home, there was lots of...
#1: food
#2: excitement!
#3: sparkling apple cider
#4: awesome gifts!
"How good and pleasant it is
when God’s people live together in unity!"
Psalm 133:1
This past Saturday some of the ladies in our church put together a Christmas Tea for all of the women (young and old) in our church. The tea was so beautiful with all of the greenery, red ribbon, and red roses. But most of all it was a beautiful event because of the people that were there. Older ladies who I love, admire, & respect and young women whose friendship is such a blessing to me. It was so wonderful and encouraging getting to spend time with these ladies and to benefit from their fellowship!
During the event there were encouraging talks given by three wonderful women in the church, singing, delicious food (breakfast casseroles, pastries, fruit) and drinks (tea and hot apple cider).
Thanks so much to all of the women who put so much work into everything! Hope you enjoy the few pictures I captured. :)
