David Andrew Engell III

Announcing the birth of our little boy David Andrew Engell III. He was born September 16th at 5:41 am. He was 7 lbs. 3 oz. and 20 inches long. He is such a sweet little baby and a joy to have. We praise God for His blessings.

Fairtime!

The Northeast Washington Fair was the last weekend in August. We all enjoyed spending time there and seeing all the exhibits. Here are a few highlights.

While We Wait

Well we are still waiting for the baby. My family is up here visiting and waiting...
So in the meantime I mave been canning things from the garden. I made relish, dill and sweet pickles, pickled peppers, and green beans.

Expectation

We are getting very excited about the approaching arrival of our baby. W are looking forward to welcoming a new little person into our family. We have been getting things ready and feel pretty prepared. Some of my family is arriving tommorrow evening and I am due this coming Monday the 24th. We would appreciate everyone's prayers.

Our goal is to be able to sell produce off our farm in the future. This year we have a big garden mostly for ourselves, but this past week we started selling a little to the neighbor. Well actually we are trading the veggies for some hay. It is a start though and we are excited about it!

Crepes with Raspberries

For breakfast one morning we had crepes filled with goat cheese with raspberry sauce. They turned out delicious.

Jam and Cheese

I made a few jars of apricot jam the other day. I have also been enjoying making easy goat cheese. All you have to do is heat a gallon of milk to 190 degrees and add 1/4 cup vinegar. When it forms curds just strain it through a colander lined with cheesecloth then hang to drain for several hours. It turns out great every time!
