Happy New Year

Well, it was an exciting year for the Moran family. We added 2 new children to the fold: Jasper and Jed. In February, we lost 2 beloved family members, Yoda and Larry. Yoda, Jay's siamese was 19 yrs, 9 mos. He lived a wonderful life. Larry, Flint's chicken, was murdered by a predator. Therefore, the search for new friends ensued.

Meet Jasper: seal point siamese

Kelly spent all summer working with Flint at our friend, Kerry's. Flint spent the summer at Kerry's with her horses. Kelly's goal for the end of the project was to ride Flint home. Success came in September when Kelly rode Flint the 1.5 miles to the house.

After spending the summer with friends, Flint was lonely. Kerry and Kelly went to a mule auction. Next thing you know is that we have a new member of the family: Jed! Jed is a 5 year old, 15 h+, bay mule gelding. He is very smart. In the first 2 weeks of living with us, he escaped the pasture 3 times! With the recent snow, the boys have gotten blankets! Jed even had to get a pedicure b/c of the snow that was trapped in his shoes. The last picture is Jay supervising!
