Happy Independence Day, Thomas Jefferson!

Sorry to all of you who have been waiting patiently and have gently reminded us to update our blog.

Much has happened in the past few months. Interestingly enough, the least has been the continued work on the farm. One of the cabins is finished inside and out and we are in the process of finishing the larger and older cabin that will contain the master bedroom and sitting room (family room). It looks like we are on target to finish by the end of 2009. Only 2 years behind schedule!

And none too soon . . . the biggest news is that Heather is with child! We are expecting our first born son in mid October. Thomas Jefferson Klosterman will hopefully be delivered here at Walnut Grove, barring any complications. So far, pregnancy has been a tough row to hoe with Heather suffering from hyperemesis gravidarum (severe morning sickness and vomiting requiring continual anti-emetics). She lost about 15 pounds during the first trimester, but she is slowly improving.

Needless to say, we are both excited!

Posted are a few pictures from the farm this Summer. We will certainly try to be more diligent in updating the blog. I hope to update a few more times before Thomas arrives. But given my track record, the next post may actually have a picture of us holding him.
