Jacob's Newest Endeavor

In case you haven't figured it out yet, Jacob likes to try his hand at everything. He is actually good at practically everything he does, but it is a bit tiring to be married to the man! There is always a new idea and a new thing going on. You would think that after nearly 9 years of marriage I would be used to it, but I still find myself surprised when he announces his new plans.

A few years ago I asked Jacob to start keeping a few bee hives because my grandfather, who is a beekeeper, was going to retire and the idea of paying for honey just seemed crazy to me. Jacob said he wasn't interested and that was that. So, I was surprised and happy when he came to me a few months ago and said he was going to start keeping bees! It will be some time before we get any honey, and we only have one hive, but he is enjoying doing it so far. I had to laugh at first because he had never been stung by a bee before and he didn't even know if he was allergic. He soon found out he isn't.

Smoking the bees.

And of course some pictures of my baby.

Lilah is Josiah's baby sitter. Before he was born I was really worried about how my cats would respond, especially Eeyore who is scared of everything and hides under the bed constantly. But they have both done really well and hang out with Josiah on the floor. That may change after the first tail pull!
