Quinn worked all morning on revamping the hoop house. We had wheels on it before but they did not clear the ground enough to not need help moving it. I have needed some one at the back with the hand truck lifting up while I lift up in the front [...]

Look what Sam got this morning! 24 of the cutest little girls you ever did see. Well, except for my nieces, they are much cuter.
