The Family

Meet the crew under our roof.

Every family has its cast of characters. Ours has two people, two boys, one very fluffy dog, and a whole lot of chickens. Here's who's who.

Mom

Alexis

Whimsical artist, gardener, and lover of every bug she meets. One of six siblings, so a busy house feels like home. You'll find her painting, tending the garden, or unwinding with a late-night Netflix binge once the boys are asleep.

Dad (and the best stepdad)

Michael

Marine Corps Reservist and lifelong outdoorsman. Happiest on a long backpacking trip, a quiet hike, or an annual hunting trip with his dad and brothers, he's one of four boys. When he's home you'll catch him in the gym or with a book in hand. Mikah's stepdad, and chose him fully from day one.

Big Brother

Mikah

Born November 24, 2017. A little fish the second he hits the water, a builder of anything he can get his hands on, and an amazing big brother. Halloween is his favorite holiday, no contest.

Little Brother

Marco

Born October 5, 2020. Tough, fast, and always in motion. Usually outside on his bike or scooter, playing with anything that has wheels, and up for a "medium" long walk any day of the week.

The four-legged & feathered

And the smaller residents.

The Havanese

Lucie

Small, black and white, silky coat. Believes she is a very large dog trapped in a small dog's body.

The coop

The Flock

A rotating cast of hens who lay excellent eggs and share plenty of opinions on the weather.

And soon, one more.

There's a chair we haven't filled yet. A name we haven't learned. A little person we're already loving from here. We can't wait to introduce you.
