Wiltshire Homestead

I can finally share our exciting news...along with purchasing 28 acres a few months ago, we also have been given the opportunity to fix up a cabin to the adjoining 30 acre lot. So, the Wiltshire's are moving North! No, not back to the home state, but 30 minutes closer. That knocks the drive down to 10 hours 30 minutes! 
It is bittersweet putting up our first family home up for sale, but we are so much closer to our dreams with this move. We will be busy, busy, busy the next year with home improvements and land clearing for our Polebarn next Spring (hopefully). With that being said, the blog will be put on the back burner, and switching gears a little as well. We are unsure when we will get internet (or if we can get it out there!) but will try to keep you all updated with our projects, as we have volunteered to do the repairs ourselves to get the cabin back in tip top shape. Here are a couple pictures, one of the three of us, and one (BEFORE SHOT) of our diamond in the rough....
Did I mention, we welcome volunteers and helpers...........
Free room and board, free food, and free adult beverages. 
HAPPY FALL YA'LL!!


9-Months!

In three short months I will have a ONE year old. I still do not know how I feel about that yet...
Today was Josie's 9 month appointment.
Weight: 22lbs 9.5 oz (94th percentile)
Height: 29 1/4" (95th percentile)
She has eight teeth and working on those awful molars.
She ordered her first meal-out this past week: quesadilla (and LOVED it)
She is still an all vegetable girl, but is starting to enjoy fresh cut peaches, pears, and mandarin oranges.
She is not crawling, but that isn't stopping her from getting around. 
She is very vocal and loves to mimic sounds.
Josie is a social butterfly and likes to flirt with the old men in the grocery store.
Our most common words are Dada, RaRa, and Hi.
We also went on our first hayride and saw our first cow this past weekend...she waved hi at them the entire ride.
