A DAY WITH THE KIDS.

Bugtussle took some sheep to town to sell earlier this week. And while Eric and Cher drove to Bowling Green, Jesse and I spent the day watching the children. We had so much fun with Ira, Opal, and Olivia....playing dominoes and reading books and running around with Wendell, swimming in the creek and eating watermelons and apples. It is truly one of the greatest joys of my life that we get to be a part of the Smith family. I remember driving away after my first season as an intern on the farm (not knowing when I would ever be back). My greatest sadness then was in leaving the children, knowing that I wouldn't get to be a part of their lives. Knowing that they would grow up without us, probably forgetting much about Jesse and me. Moving on with their lives, becoming amazing little humans that I wouldn't get to know.And oh how wonderful that I was so wrong about that.- Hannah.
