Handprints

Moving our farm, our family, and our business was a momentous occasion.  It took hours of dreaming, thinking, planning, and working to make it a reality.  Mom asked me to put together a series of blog posts about the construction process.

I wanted to start with this one because it means a lot to all of us.  Mom had the idea to put our handprints somewhere in the concrete at the new farm.  After a lot of thought, we decided to put our handprints on the front porch of the soaproom.

Lucky and his crew got the concrete just right and then he helped the little ones to push their hands straight in:

Ok, he actually helped all of us except for Mom and Dad:

Mom used her finger to write all of our names above the handprints:

And since the goats are a part of our family, they got in on the action too:

Look at how young we all look!

I’m so glad we did it.  It’s amazing how much our hands have grown in the two years since we put them (except mine, I haven’t grown since then!)

And it doesn’t just mean a lot to us. Many of the people who visit the retail room love to walk down the porch and see everyone’s handprints as well.

  1. I love this and some day each child will be able to show their own kids their handprint from when they were little!
