There's nothing to compare the richness of being with family and being separated from the obligations and responsibilities of every day life. Here, on the farm, it seems each day spent here places me further into 'the zone.' It's a good thing. As I grow older there is nothing else that lightens my spirit and brings a smile to my face more than when I am in the presence of the ones I love most. All other 'stuff' just sort of fades off and a weight lifts from my shoulders.
This Christmas we enjoyed one of Faith Farm's own turkeys. It was a large bird that Tristan had a knife and fork out eagerly awaiting even before we had place settings on the table. He was one hungry dude and the reviews are in: two thumbs up and lots of sounds indicating Tristan was one content little farmer. 
There really is nothing like knowing where your food is coming from and this time it was literally from the backyard. I've come full circle in appreciation for supporting local farmers and really having a better grasp of where the food I eat is from and the manner in which its raised. Knowledge = Power 
This was one of Tristan's favorite Christmas gifts. A friend of the family's made Tristan his very first John Deere blanket. Being that his room is already decked out in all gold and green JD colors - it will fit right in. Thanks, Terri!
