My Mom, Dad & Hamil join the many people that have worked so hard to keep the farm going since 1911. Not just my family, but many families that lived on or near the farm back in the day. As my Dad says, the fact that a family can get along for this amount of time is an accomplishment in itself!

Swampeast Acres is 100!
To say that our lives have been full these past weeks is an understatement. Full of activity and happiness mind you...with a little stress thrown in there for good measure. Last weekend we had the opportunity to celebrate 100 years at Swampeast Acres. The state of Missouri recognizes farms that have been in the same family for 100 years and Swampeast Acres was finally awarded the prestigous honor of being a Century Farm.

My dear sister and her family came to MO to celebrate with us. I love her so much and wish we got to see each other more. It is fun to compare notes about kids, and she actually thinks I know something about child rearing. I actually don't and learn something new every day!
There was a wiffle ball game, of course. Here is my Dad calling Elena safe at home.
Nate played wiffle ball and loved it! I was amazed that he played...last year at this time, there was no way he would get out into the mix of a game.
Lila Lulu Bell - no wiffle ball for her yet. She was just attached to my hip and looked cute all day.
The DeLaney sisters - Kathy, Debbie & Lee receiving the resolution from Steve Hodges, our House Representative. He and his family were kind enough to attend the event.
Sweet Bluet - she has gotten so big! And her face just gets more precious by the day.
The Corse Family - as you can imagine, it was great fun to get everyone out there for a picture.
The whole clan - as you can imagine it was great fun getting everyone out there for another picture.
