We're no strangers to plumbing drama on our farm, but when our not-garage continuously kept being flooded, and we discovered a leak beneath our ancient granite flagstone courtyard, we thought that disaster loomed and we would have to leave the farm, AGAIN.

I really enjoyed seeing your happy dance when you worked out the water problem. My elderly parents and I do happy dances whenever we find one of their lost hearing aids!!!
Both links clicked. 👌🏻 Be brave, Think big, explore. ✨
No leave Caruso bare feet kids love no shoes on he will put them on wen he is cold,
Hi
Good idea Waterdrop is!
Crusoe is adorable explaining the water problem.. No matter how bad things get, just look at your babies and know they make life so much better with their innocence.. 💜
Another note I have to say is how touched I was to see Sawyer reach up for mommy's hand. Two very dear children and two amazing parents ❤❤❤❤
I was just thinking the same thing. It’s so touching to see little hands reach for Mommie or Daddy.
Same
"Ready steady go!" Crusoe encourages dad using a pickaxe.Caruso really is amazing his comprehension and vocabulary really goes to show what good parents you guys truly are. I love that John stopped everything he was doing the moment he realized his youngest son had joined them, those few moments of cuddles and connection will last a lifetime.
Thanks Julie! ❤️❤️🙏🙏🤗
Crusoe is learning so much through your troubleshooting and fixing things around the farm-it’s amazing to see his growth😊
We are so proud of both our boys friend 💧🔨🌱🙏🏼❤️🏡🇵🇹
OMG! The look on Crusoe's face when you did your happy dance was priceless! I busted a gut!
loved the cheese toast interlude and little Sawyer reaching up for Tara's hand as they walk to the veggie patch - precious moments - its the small things. You guys are such positive parents love it!!!!!!!!!!!!
At first I thought Crusoe was running away because of the shoes. But He just brought the right tools! How clever is that!? 😮 I think you have a very special child there. And part of it is that you raise him in a special way. 😊❤
Thank you so much for this lovely comment and compliment Enja 💧🔨🌱🙏🏼❤️🏡🇵🇹
Bless Crusoe he's coming on leaps and bounds helping daddy. When you we're walking with Sawyer and he put his hand in yours and it was so sweet ❤
He is growing up so quickly Faith! Little Sawyer is catching up too. Thanks so much for watching friend 💧🔨🌱🙏🏼❤️🏡🇵🇹
‘It IS a disaster’ says crusoe with strong affirmation. What a lovely little person. Trying to be so supportive and helpful. And all WITHOUT shoes. !❤
Got bless your sons 🙏 they are growing up strong and robust!
That actually brought tears to my eyes. You guys are doing such a great job-we can just feel the love.
How providential, thatJohn got up in the wee hours of the morning, in the stillness and the quiet, and was able to hear the hissing of that pipe! Amazing! So relieved for all of you!❤️
Thanks so much Louise 💧🔨🌱🙏🏼❤️🏡🇵🇹
“Not very, very good”😉 Crusoe is a treasure! He’s a smart little guy🥰 you couldn’t ask for a sharper plumbers helper. And Sawyer such a bundle of joy. They are a tremendous inspiration to continue homesteading where you are. Love this little family.
We are so proud of both our little boys Diane. Thank you for all the love you have shown us 💧🔨🌱🙏🏼❤️🏡🇵🇹
It's such a great thing to have a husband like John who always makes the home front as comfortable as possible. Thank you Mr.Newby.
I just love watching Crusoe helping daddy! He is so smart. No wonder John was having a proud father moment. He is really learning a lot from you both and it shows! Glad the water pipe got fixed. Tara you did such a great job with your tomatoes. I’ve never had much luck with them myself. Again such a great episode! ❤😊
Thanks for all the support Heidi 💧🔨🌱🙏🏼❤️🏡🇵🇹
The most precious part of this video is the narration regarding the water pipe done by your darling little boy ❤
So happy that the water problem was sorted out bravo to John and Crusoe!!!Have a good week family Newbys. 🇬🇷 🇬🇷
Thanks so much Katia 💧🔨🌱🙏🏼❤️🏡🇵🇹
Sawyer is adorable.. he's really participating in everything now.. it's lovely to watch him exploring and copying the other 'boys'😊
Crusoe saying "this is not way way good" & the window 'nose' such delightful moments to cherish.
So sweet. Thanks so much for watching friend 💧🔨🌱🙏🏼❤️🏡🇵🇹
I love the way that no matter what task you or John are doing you simply take the time to enjoy your boys . Your great parents and it shows by those wonderful little boys.
This was touching in many ways. The worry before, and how it has been being away from the farm last year because of waterproblems. The worry about the beautiful granite having to be torn up. Your lovely children eating cheese toast. The sun coming out. And Tara's very true words of gratitude. Thank you for this episode! So glad you are ok again!
🦋 At the end of the video, it was so sweet to see the guardian of the compost pile. I hope that puts a smile on Crusoe’s face because when he saw him laying on the ground, he was so sad. Thank you for taking the time to do that for him. And a nice transition from nap time is too quiet time. A blanket lying on the ground near where you are, and just let them know it’s time to lay quietly and watch the clouds. See how many butterflies fly over your head as you’re resting.
Hi Newbys it's good to see you got your water problems sorted. John and Crusoe are becoming a wonderful team working together and solving and fixing the problems around the farm.
Teamwork definitely makes the dream work Sandra haha Thanks so much for watching friend, we can't wait to see you again on Wednesday 💧🔨🌱🙏🏼❤️🏡🇵🇹
Glad your plumbing issue was resolved. So lovely to watch your beautiful family.
Crusoe will put shoes on when he is good and ready 😂 Sooo happy that the water suction was an easy fix ❤
Oh Tara! I really felt your relief when the pipe was fixed ! 🥰
Holding my breath and praying for you that the plumbing holds and the permissions all come through and progress begins soon!
Crusoe is such a great daddies helper. I love seeing how proud he is when he is helping his dad. Much love to you and your family. ✌🏻❤️🙏🏻
Glad you fixed the pipe issue without too much trouble. Sawyer is already walking like a pro 😀 and Crusoe is like a master plumber 😀. Such a nice episode guys. Thank you.
We are so thankful it was an 'easy' fix Rossy! Our boys are the best little helpers. Thanks for all the support friend 💧🔨🌱🙏🏼❤️🏡🇵🇹
So glad the pipes are okay! Sawyer is so cute wanting to hold your hand 🎉🎉🎉
Crusoe is turning into a great little problem solver, isn't he? And as for Sawyer's little arms up in the air for mum, absolutely adorable.
He is indeed Lottie, so proud of him. Sawyer is getting cuter by the day, so special. Thanks so much for watching friend 💧🔨🌱🙏🏼❤️🏡🇵🇹
So glad the leak was easy to find and fix love the way John showed Crusoe how to hold the tool your boys are going to be very handymen. Music great as always
I'm so grateful that the water leak was an easy fix and not a huge project!🎉
Had to laugh at Crusoe who wasn't overly impressed with mummy and daddy dancing 😅 the boys are so cute and learning everyday 😍 💖
Crusoe is quite the character, full sentences, so willing to help and he knows what he's doing
Nothing like Sunday morning coffee with the Newbys.
Life on the Newby farm ! Another lovely episode, despite a couple of setbacks and a lot of rain. John saved the day again, with help of the boys of course ! 🙏💕🌷
So glad things worked out and the leak was fixed. The boys…amazing. They are learning so much!
Crusoe is so smart ❤ he is absolutely precious , hope you sort out the water problem soon. I’m sure John will figure it out.
Crusoe so likes to help his daddy mend things. Sawyer is doing so well and I love the way he wants to hold your hand.❤️❤️❤️
John- Since you asked, the one thing is to be consistent with your children. When they are young a stern voice, "put your shoes on." should be enough. Crusoe has learned that he doesn't have to listen to you when you tell him to put his shoes on because 9 out of ten times, that we see him on KZhead, you let him "get away with not putting his shoes on when you tell him to. If he doesn't respond to this then tell him he can't go out without his shoes. The hardest thing about bringing up children is sticking to your guns. Children need boundaries so they can set them later, on themselves. You are both wonderful loving parents, I envy the boys.
Thanks for the advice Merry! We appreciate all your support 💧🔨🌱🙏🏼❤️🏡🇵🇹
I absolutely love watching you and your family. Crusoe has just grown into the most amazing kid, and he never ceases to amaze me with his speech and the things he says. My husband, James, and I laugh so much when he explains how things work. He learns so much from you both and he's wonderful. So glad the pipe issue was far easier to deal with than anticipated!
Hello Newby family. Thank goodness that water pipe was not such a huge problem. John’s on the ball hearing that hissing. Sawyer is comprehending language well now. John ask him to hand him a tool & Sawyer did it immediately. I was astounded. So good. Crusoe helps with everything & is learning from watching John. Brilliant. See you on Wednesday…. Stay well & happy. Cheers Noeline. 🙏❤️❤️❤️❤️🇦🇺🇦🇺🙏
Hi Noeline, we are so thankful that it was an 'easy' fix! Our boys are the best little helpers out there. Thanks for all your love 💧🔨🌱🙏🏼❤️🏡🇵🇹
Quick note on toilet flushing. If you fill some buckets with water. You can gravity flush by pouring water into the toilet usually. We do that to prepare here when we are under the threat of Hurricanes or last year when our pipes froze. It’s obviously only a temporary fix. Keeping you all in our thoughts. Hang in there Tara!
Hi Caroline, thanks so much for the advice! We appreciate all your support. Thanks so much for watching 💧🔨🌱🙏🏼❤️🏡🇵🇹
Yes that definitely works . K
Yep another vote for bucket flush working!
Another beautiful day in Portugal 🇵🇹 !!! Water pipe breaks, pulling up vines , giggle breaks with Daddy….. life is good, Tara ❤❤❤.
Crusoe is such a delight. His brain is sharp and clever. Love him and Sawyer. 🥰🥰🥰🥰
Crusoe “this is compost” he is SO smart!!!! I think I missed something I didn’t realize you had hooked the water up to the main. Thankfully you were able to resolve the problem. Tara your garden was such a success!! ~Cara ❤
We are so proud of him Cara, he is learning so much every single day. We connected to the mains a couple of weeks ago, to make sure we have a plan B should something go South. I am so excited for the next season of planting friend, I feel that I have now gotten the hang of things and can't wait to plant more delicious veggies. Thanks so much for watching 💧🔨🌱🙏🏼❤️🏡🇵🇹
Loved Crusoe's explanation of the plumbing project. Crusoe's matter of fact attitude, confidence and mannerisms in explaining the steps to the plumbing fix were exactly like John's.!!! Perfect!!!🎉🎉🎉
Drama! Success! Joy! Tiny people who make me smile! Mother Earth and her gifts ❤️ What a great episode. Love and light to you guys 😊
Montessori educator here. You can get Crusoe a small hammer, cover the claw end with duct tape, and buy roofing nails. The head is big enough to spare their little fingers. We used tree stumps for hammering practice but you can come up with a workbench setup as well. This work is fine for children over 2. Enjoy!
Thanks so much for the suggestion friend, we will see what we can do! Thanks so much for watching 💧🔨🌱🙏🏼❤️🏡🇵🇹
I'm so glad John heard the hissing sound when and where he did and that it wasn't a terrible fix. As for the little ones, I feel when his feet get real cold or steps on something that hurts, he will figure out the shoes' help. LOL. They are growing by leaps and bounds and are so cute to watch. You can sure tell he loves helping his dad😊 You and John are so encouraging as parents.
Thank you Cindy!!
Crusoe is such a lovely little boy and learning about work ethic from you both. So happy you didn’t have to dig up the courtyard. 🇨🇦❤️🇨🇦
A momentary drama for me as thought I'd lost this video,but here you are 😊! Yes,water issues with old pipes,thankfully I'm not too far away from help at hand. Look at your helpful little boys and Crusoe has such an amazing understanding 🥰
It rained for a month straight!! It’s been hard for us too living by the river in northern Portugal thankfully the sun is finally shining again! You guys will work it out as always😊
Thanks Lauren, we are so happy to hear that the sun is shining again! Your support means so much to us 💧🔨🌱🙏🏼❤️🏡🇵🇹
Glad it was an easy fix. Loved Crusoe's can-do attitude and play by play description of the "disaster" Also love it when a 2 yr old shovels up leaves and says "this is compost".
Thanks Cody! 🙏❤️
As everyone knows John loves plumbing. 😊 thanks for this week’s episode and have a lovely week!😊
It´s absolutely amazing the strong and determined way that Crusoe handles the tools around the farm, marvelous!
Keep calm, Tara - everything is always good in the end! Like the blue sky that suddenly appeared ☀️
A bummer to have leaky pipes; what a pain! I'm sorry about that discovery, but with Crusoe and Sawyer on the job, I'm quite sure they will make short work of it 😅❤
It is always a big pain and worry when something like this happens Belinda, thankfully we have the best little helpers! Thanks so much for watching 💧🔨🌱🙏🏼❤️🏡🇵🇹
My niece and nephew ran around barefoot most of their life, seemingly without negative consequences. Even in very chilly weather, they felt fine. And I, as a child, remember my shoe-clad feet, sitting in a classroom, feeling like they were on fire because I had to wear shoes after a summer of being barefoot.
Thanks for sharing Mary. Your support and love means so much to us 💧🔨🌱🙏🏼❤️🏡🇵🇹
This is real life education for Crusoe and it is great to see him try to explain things. Love it!!!
That was a luck that is was easy to repair . About your vegetable garden, did you consider the no dig garden. It will save you a lot of work n digging and very few weeds. If you like to learn more about it there is a youtube serie of Charles Dowding who does this over 30 years a has great succes with it. It like nature that never digs before it plants anything and about not disturbing the life in the ground and all the little things that live there.
We are so thankful that it was so easy to repair Brigitte! Yes we would love to do the no dig garden, thanks for the suggestion friend 💧🔨🌱🙏🏼❤️🏡🇵🇹
So glad you did not have to leave the farm and that the fix was as easy as it was.
🦋 I think I forgot to mention how adorable those children are. When Crusoe was digging in the old leaves, and said to you that’s compost, I knew then I had to give you another ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ for your wonderful parenting skills. You guys are the best and I hope one day I get to spend some time volunteering on your beautiful land. Until then I continue to send you much love and many blessings.
Thank you so much for your lovely compliment Anna 💧🔨🌱🙏🏼❤️🏡🇵🇹
Thanks Anna! That’s so kind and a lovely comment to read. 🙏🙏❤️❤️
That little boy knows so mutch and so cleverer, just listen to him make me so happy and miss my grandchildren, much love to all of you
So beautiful, Sawyer reaching for your hand. My 53yr old says she remembers reaching to hold my hand and feeling safe. Lovely parenting you guys.
So special isn’t it Maureen! 💧🔨🌱🙏🏼❤️🏡🇵🇹
So relieved for you that the fix was not more than that! What a blessing!
When your lil man reached up to grab your hand as you were walking down to the veggie patch is EVERYTHING! I have a 21 year old who is now out of the house & at university & you realise how fast time goes & how you miss those days! 😢 ❤
It is so special isn't it Erin ❤️❤️❤️
Well done locating the leak! Make sure you put plumbers silicone tape around those pipes or they will likely leak over time! Love your vlogs, you are making such great progress!
One day Crusoe is going to be so handy at fixing things and building things just like his dad. My goodness Sawyer is growing so fast and keeping up with his big brother already. Gotta say, my sons swear I was trying to put them down for naps when they were teenagers! Nap time is precious time! ❤❤
🌞🙂🙂Oh my - finally a small fix (easy for me to say) with the water issue!! Sawyer and Crusoe are the sweetest boys and they will definitely be the best helpers as they grow up. Also I noticed how green everything is there - so beautiful! Wishing you a wonderful week and can’t wait for the travel adventure videos! Thank you for posting these👋
Hi Lamp Family! We are just so thankful it wasn't worse. The rain is definitely making things greener. We can't wait to share the travel videos with you either. Stay tuned!! 💧🔨🌱🙏🏼❤️🏡🇵🇹
Is it not possible to only expand the existing buildings? Seems so much easier to me than knock everything down. Besides ....i like what is there now.
Hi Estee, that could be an option but for the house we have in mind we will need to knock down some of it. It won't be an easy project but it will most definitely be worth it! Thanks so much for watching friend 💧🔨🌱🙏🏼❤️🏡🇵🇹
With Crusoe’s shoes . It’s a natural consequence that eventually his feet will get cold and he will want to put shoes on . If you absolutely want him to put them on because it’s too cold then give him a gentle choice to put them on himself or you can help , the choice is his . . Or you can say , “ which one do you want to put on first ?” Or “ I’ll put one on and you do the other one . “ You could have a limit that if it’s too cold he has to put them on before he’s allowed outside . Anyway, giving choices seems to work for me in the past when dealing with toddlers . Good luck 🤞💕😊
Thanks Cathy, good advice friend. 🙏🙏❤️❤️
Hi again it is the grandmother from New Hampshire I just love my grandson Caruso he is really not my real blood grandson but I think of them I think of you as my family over there I watch you every Sunday morning faithfully I want you during the week to try cuz I'm trying to catch up on all your past videos but I can't believe how good of a boy Caruso is you guys are raising a great young man right there coming next generation is going to be a wonderful generation because even my granddaughters my Rio Grande daughters they are way different they are in touch with the Earth this is why Caruso does not want to wear shoes because he needs to be grounded and being grounded is to be touched with in touch with Mother Earth Tara I'm sure you must know call Mother Earth Works and how we need to be grounded once again I just love you guys I really feel like I'm watching my family that's in Portugal living so thank you thank you very much for all the hard work you do cuz I'm sure it is hard to be recording everything especially when you're having a stressful situation like this❤❤❤
Hi Kris, thank you so much for all the love and support you show us. We love that our boys have grandmothers all over the world that love them as much as we do. We appreciate all of your comments and send you lots of love 💧🔨🌱🙏🏼❤️🏡🇵🇹
Poor Tara, the terror on her face thinking about digging up the front jard🥹❤️well done John on figuring out were the leak came from and fiksing it🙌🏻😊👌🏻🥳👍🏻so glad you didn’t have to digg it all up😬😅🙌🏻❤️
So glad you got that fixed. I know y'all are. ❤ The boys look so good and happy. Love y'all.❤
Omg.....how I love your family!! Thank you for inviting us in! As for intelligent little Crusoe, I wouldn't fight him to put shoes on. Wait to see if he comes to it on his own when the ground becomes winter cold. Our grandson barely wore shoes, but refused to wear socks for years...and now as he approaches 30, he tells us that nothing makes him happier than getting a new package of socks to wear! 👟🧦❤
We love hearing from you Susan! Thanks for the advice friend 💧🔨🌱🙏🏼❤️🏡🇵🇹
I am so impressed with how you found that leak. And I just love watching Crusoe help daddy!
Crusoes explanation of the leak was priceless. John if you had been in the right place at the right time you would never have known where the leaking pipe was. Well done John🎉
You are going to have relatively easy teen years with your boys, I predict 😂 They know so much more about real life challenges and finding solutions than others ❤❤ Just like Joao, I think, who is so helpful and respectful. The Portuguese countryside looks like the best place to raise a family ❤❤
I am relieved too that the water pipe fixed. Thank you Newbys for sharing your farm life experiences. It is so inspiring.
Thanks so much for all your support friend 💧🔨🌱🙏🏼❤️🏡🇵🇹
🥰🙏@@TheNewbys
Tara and John, you truly are blessed. 💚
I’ve said it before but watching you guys brings pure joy. The boys can not get any sweeter. Crusoe blows my mind with his communication skills and knowledge. I could of watched him all day. My heart is full. Take care.
We are so happy to hear that Debbie 💧🔨🌱🙏🏼❤️🏡🇵🇹
It’s right you should be blessed with the farm. You have started to develop a feeling for your land. A land that will keep giving. Feel blessed and enjoy it. Many of us are stuck in our bloody jobs ! Do not take the blue sky, the smell of the trees, the sound of your surroundings for granted. Enjoy all and feel blessed.
You are the reason it is so important to have a 2 parents in the family. Your children will be able to gain so much from you. The love you guys have for one. another other is so valuable. My heart breaks for the children that don't have that. You are hope for this world yet.❤ love your family.
Thank you Debbie! ❤️👍
The ups and downs of life, happens to all. Life goes on. It is always important to distinguish the important from trifling difficulties. This too will pass.
You are quite right Richard, thanks for sharing all your love and wisdom with us 💧🔨🌱🙏🏼❤️🏡🇵🇹
Great job on tidying up the garden, Tara. Its so satisfying in the fall to clear away the spent plants and get things ready for a quick"er" start next spring. And have a break from that workload for a while.
That amazing smile when Crusoe handled the hammer on his own says it all !!! 😍😍😍😍😍
Hi Newbys, phew, i could see how relieved Tara was when the problem was found and fixed so quickly! I love how instead of thinking Crusoe is getting in the way John uses the opportunity to show him how to use the tools properly too. You are both doing a brilliant job my friends!
Hi Claire, I was SO relieved that it was an easy fix. We absolutely love being able to share these experiences with the boys and teach them as much as we can. Thanks so much for watching 💧🔨🌱🙏🏼❤️🏡🇵🇹
Your comment about gratitude is timely as this week in the U.S. we are celebrating Thanksgiving...when the settlers of this country thanked God for all the bounty they had. I thank God every day for all He has given my family and pray your family continues to have many blessings.❤
Whew! I am so happy the stones did not have to be uprooted until the house build, if be. They are so charming. Not that you need another chore to do, but if you want to be creative with left over grapes vines, make a grapevine wreath. That is what I did with my vines and now I will decorate them for Christmas. I also give gratitude to my garden and what it has provided for my family and me. I am grateful for the Newby's channel and your providing a positive respite for my mental health.
A grapevine wreath sounds like a great idea Irma! Thanks for sharing 💧🔨🌱🙏🏼❤️🏡🇵🇹
Another great video!! Water leak,stress and then a family adventure fixing it!! I love it.The family dance was fun too.Thankyou ❤
Ok. First of all how delightful to see Crusoe learning and doing and gaining understanding of what it takes to maintain a homestead. And then when Sawyer shows up with a tool in hand at about 18:20 or so and then hands a tool to his dad. My goodness. These boys are so lucky. And you are blessed to have them. Also very relieved for the “quick” fix of the water issue. Also when Sawyer took your hand as you were walking…enjoy these times. They grow up so fast. My boy is almost 22 and it’s harder and harder to get any time with him. Never mind a hug or a kiss for his mom. 😢
We love being able to share these experiences with our boys Reet, teaching them new things every single day is what we love doing. Thanks so much for watching friend 💧🔨🌱🙏🏼❤️🏡🇵🇹
I remember my Dad playing kissy face with me as a child and they are some of the best memories I have of him. It made me smile.. and tear up.
Que excelente trabalho com o Crusoe ele é o ORGULHO do pai ❤❤❤😊
Hello the newbys, i'm renovating an old farm since 10 years. It's maybe a little bit late, but you can place a device to reduce and control the amount of pressure. What we do, in our farm is: " if you're digging, you replace for the future". Continue, you handle it!
Thanks for the advice Adrienn! 💧🔨🌱🙏🏼❤️🏡🇵🇹
Thanks Adrien, good solid advice friend. Well done with your renovations and we hope they go well for you. 👍👍
Glad you solved the water problem guys hope nothing else goes wrong for you
Nothing more satisfying than working in the garden ....chopping wood......making fires........and not to forget walking the dogs. My life since 2005. I will not call it " therapeutic"....why should everything be therapeutic nowadays? ........it's just the good life. I am 71. O, and i walk on bare feet almost all day. It is healthy and natural. Regards from the Netherlands! Have a wonderful Sunday!
Love the sound of that Estee! ❤️❤️❤️
Good job Crusoe and Daddy. Blessings from Canada 🇨🇦
It's incredible how John found the problem exactly on the first try!!!! Good job!
It took 3 to solve the problem!! Aren’t you lucky Tara to have such capable , smart guys looking after serious things around the farm. Never dismay girl they will conquer!! Let’s do it and fix it with fingers crossed!
I am very lucky indeed Iris! 💧🔨🌱🙏🏼❤️🏡🇵🇹
so pleased you found the leak right away and no major problems followed, what an absolute little star Crusoe is I love how he studies and processes things and in his own way tries to tell you what's wrong and how to fix things, Bless him he is adorable. and yes how great it is to plant things from seeds nurture the seedlings and watch them grow into delightful fruits and veg for you to all enjoy and preserve for the up coming winter months, the fruits of your labour will taste so much nicer, and yes it is great to be thankful for mother nature and what she provides us with. Love and Blessings until next time. Karen xx
Thanks so much Karen 💧🔨🌱🙏🏼❤️🏡🇵🇹
Glad your beautiful stone patio didn't have to be dug up. Amazing how John was able to pinpoint the exact area of the leak and fix so quickly. Of course, could've been done without Crusoe's help. Rainy days would be difficult with two boys under three - even such cute ones. I was wondering how the porch/playroom add-on was working out? Nice ending to a fretful day with Tara working in the garden and telling us how blessed she felt.
Thanks Judith. We are so relieved that it was an easy fix! The extension is doing just fine, not any major leaks and definitely adds the extra space that we need! 💧🔨🌱🙏🏼❤️🏡🇵🇹
