Some News...

Our New house "Vitri"

We have moved from our big Sanctuary Finca Seraphina to the newly built modern house.  This lot had one palm tree on it when we began construction - we've planted over 1000 trees and about 2 thousand surrounding the property on the pastures below where we have our horses and cows.



Pool at Vitri

We moved much of the landscaping from Finca Seraphina, mostly planted as seedling. You can see how fast things grow in the tropics especially after the rainy season.  This house is still a bit warm but once the landscaping has grown it will be cool and lush.  A small sanctuary.


"Eitech Construction Vehicles"

Indoor time during the rainy season enticed the boys to engage in constructing these amazing Eitech vehicles.  Learning how to build cars and machines and how they work mechanically.  We bought one for Sasha for his birthday and they have now begun a collection of them.  Each vehicle can be dismantled and constructed into 3 other vehicles.



"Helicopter -Eitech Vehicles"
The helicopter has a small solar panel which turns the propellor.  They dismantled it and it became a small car that drove slowly by itself.



Wood Truck

This is a delivery truck Fabien helped the boys make from the left over wood used to make our new chicken house.  They are delivering small stones to make a path near their fort.



"Minka - Pony Foal"

Precious little Minka was born a few days ago.  The joys of spring bringing forth new birth.


"Lucy and her little Foal, Minka"

How she stands with stability just a few hours after birth.  As you can see by my belly that I to have been blessed.  Doubly...another son and a little princess.  Little Earthchildren!



"Knitting a Cotton Blanket and Booties"

Have been busy knitting away for my little peanuts.  More projects in the making.



More Booties

Doubly of course!! These turned out a bit large so will wait for those footsies to grow. I will have to buy some finer baby yarn when we head to Miami at the end of the month as I am 6 months pregnant next week and twins could come earlier although I plan to keep them in as long as I can...little me.

Miami is where I shall birth my little babes.  It won't be a home birth like I had with my sons.  Having twins, and at 40 classifies me as high risk so I will have my very first ever hospital experience.



Trail Riding

The boys out trail riding with dad and friends, soon to be neighbors.  I am teaching them about natural horsemanship and they will share the horses and the trails.  We are happy to find people that appreciate the land and love the animals as we do.

We plan to spend the Winter in the South of France looking for a farm, possibly Provence and keep a smaller place here as a second home.
