Farming
We have been lucky to spend many days on the farm in 2024. We even built a pole barn across from my Dad’s house to start storing Luke’s antique tractors. I love how much my kids enjoy being on the farm and what adventures we find ourselves on every trip.
2024 was hard in a lot of ways too. My wonderful Grandma Lockwood lost her fight with cancer and we have recently received an Alzheimer’s diagnosis for my mother in law that leaves our hearts heavy and sad. These experiences are hard enough on our own but having to explain them to my sweet babies is a different pain all on its own. Here’s a few of my favorite recent photos of my Grandma.
