Big Sister

The biggest change in Annabel's life is that she is now a big sister, a role which she relishes. From the very beginning, Annabel has been quite taken with Thane, and she likes to hold and feed him as often as we will let her. She repeats his name all day long, and she'll tell him "Don' cry, ba ba" whenever he fusses.

Annabel continues to flourish here on the farm. She absolutely adores the animals, and she is fearless with them. Her favorite pasttime is collecting eggs from the chicken coop (whether the hens have finished laying or not!), and she'll boldly walk through the herd of sheep in search of Estelle, her favorite ewe. As you can imagine, keeping her clean is quite a challenge. If you ever stop by to visit, this is most likely how you'll find our little girl.

Don't worry, though, Annabel will grow up with some lady-like qualities (we hope). She seems to clean up fairly well - for a few minutes anyway.

She's great at channeling her inner diva, too. Whether she grows into a true blue country chick or a city-loving fashionista, we're pretty sure that she'll keep us entertained every step of the way.
