The "Kids" Have Arrived!

Meet the newest members of the Cole-Tyson family, Edgar and Julie! We worked this weekend to complete the work that began last weekend with family and friends. We are far from finished, but the "kids" now have a safe and warm place to sleep complete with skylights! Andrew made the journey late Sunday night to see our new friend Ms. Donna and to pick up the goats. Andrew is always mindful of being a good steward of his resources so he naturally wanted to take Phoebe (the Fiat) to pick up the goats because she uses less gas than the Rig (that would be the van AKA: Mobile Design Studio). :) So, around midnight Ruger, Fritz and I awoke to find that Andrew had finally arrived home with our new family members. Above is the sight I saw when I sleepily walked into the garage. Two goats in the back of a Fiat...Now that is something you don't just see everyday. :)

We are excited about these two new family members and are looking forward to the lessons we will learn from watching these two animals and observing their interactions with one another. As I mentioned in my last post, we are excited about The Farm being a place to build and grow relationships. Already through our research of goats we have come to learn that goats are companion animals. You have to have at least two goats because they were made to be in relationship with one another. We find that so COOL that God designed them this way and think that there is so much to be learned from these precious animals. This factor of companionship is just one reason that these are perfect animals for The Farm!
