On July 11, 2013, we welcomed our daughter, Willa Esther Werner!

Willa after the great American writer of frontier life, Willa Cather, and Esther after my great grandmother Nancy Esther Hineman, who I have been told would have been a kindred spirit of mine.

We are still reveling in the joy of having a new person in our family.  And due to what I call the “baby fog” that has been clouding my brain, I haven’t gotten much done these past four weeks except snuggle my baby.  🙂

But I am hoping to get back on a more productive track here in the next weeks, and am looking forward to sharing more about what has been happening on our farm this past month … giant blackberries, new baby chicks, flooding creeks, a glut of tomatoes followed by a tomato famine, and more.

But right now, I am going to go snuggle my new baby girl.  🙂
