Parlor 7 - Doubletime

On May 14 the boys milked on both sides of the parlor for the first time. What a sweet sight! Since then Jonathan has actually played softball two nights and went to the theatre to see Prince Caspian. A bit of a blessing after working til the wee hours of the night for a long time...

Parlor 6 - North Side Operational

It took me awhile to load these pictures...much has happened recently! If you like cowpies or milk, and really, who doesn't...take a look!

Hallelujah!

And the wives rejoiced...more details to come!!!

Parlor -Part 5

The sparks flew and the earth shook...

The Roof is Done!

We didn't make it for all the recent action, so Jonathan took some pics for all of us to enjoy:). Sorry, no random critter pictures this time, although the Amish seem to have cat-like balance...

Parlor Cement Day - Part 3

God blessed the guys with a beautiful sunny day to pour cement in the new parlor yesterday...

The Parlor Grows! Part 2

The front wall grew on the parlor, preparations were made for cement, and posts were planted for the return alley...take a look!:)

Milkhouse Mayhem

If you have ever wondered how a milking parlor is built in the midst of a fully operating dairy farm, oh boy, these pics are for you!
If you like pics of buildings being torn apart, cows and kittens, dangerous movings of milk tanks, the Amish, or Abraham, hey, you might like these pics, too!
Welcome to a couple days with the Shupes as the building fun picks up...



Many thanks to Mom Shupe for the camera work!
