Kraker Farm

I am happy to introduce to you the first members of the Kraker Family Farm.  In one day we purchased two Holland Lop bunnies and six Isa Brown Laying Chicks.



The black bunnies name is Jessica Rabbit (Jess for short) and the brown bunnies name is Bunny Holly (Holly for short).

The chicks I (Bryan) named are Booker T Washington and Peepy Le Pugh. Katy named the remaining four chicks after the golden girls: Blanche, Dorthy, Sophia, and Rose.

This is the beautiful house I built for my peeps.  It is where they will lay the eggs we harvest.



Project 2011

It is a project that has been a long time coming. Since we built our house back in 2005/2006, we have wanted to put on a deck. The problem is that there were always other projects that were more important, like putting in a lawn and pouring a cement approach.

Finally, this year was the year for the deck.  We took our tax return money and bought us some deck materials.  We decided to go with composite so we never have to power spray or stain.  Maintenance is not our strong suit so the less of it we have to do, the better off we are. 

Todd Wabeke and I worked on it during the week

after we got out of work so it took a couple of weeks to get it completed.  My Dad helped lay the decking one saturday and my borother Andrew stopped by a night or two to help out as well.

Thanks to everyone for the help.  The deck looks great and we love spending time on it. 

God Bless Blair

Yesterday we had Blair baptized.  I was a little nervous on how things would go.  Not only that Blair wouldn't scream through the whole thing but that Rogue would cooperate as well.  I'm happy to report that Blair was baptized without a hitch.  Blair has been such a blessing to us all.

The first 3 weeks

I honestly can't believe Blair has been with us for just over 3 weeks now.  She fits so perfectly with our family that it feels she has been with us forever.  Blair is an amazing baby so far.  She sleeps the day away and most of the night.  The only issue at night is her eating.  This girl likes to eat!  She wakes every 2 hours (almost on the dot) for feedings. Since she (for the most part) goes right back down after a feeding its not so bad to be awake so often.  I try to get naps in when I can but Rogue doesn't always nap anymore, so it makes it a bit difficult.  You can definately tell that she is not a first born.  Bryan and I haven't taken near the amount of pictures we did of Rogue.  Poor Blair.  We also don't hold her like we did Rogue but that could be because she is very content to be in her swing.

Rogue has done very well with adjusting to not being the only child.  She doesn't pay Blair much attention but likes to know where she is at all times.  Rogue is also a bit protective of her.  When people hold Blair, Rogue usually asks repeatedly to hold her.  Its pretty cute.  Rogue has been such a good big sister.

Who's Who?

Can you guess which pictures are Rogue and which are Blair? Leave your answers in the comment section, and I will provide answers later on.

Baby Blair Arrives

Blair Delaney Kraker was born this morning (7/22/11) at 7:53am. She weighs 8lbs 1oz, and I think she looks exactly like Rogue. We are very happy parents and there will be more pictures coming to the blog soon.
