Hi there, everyone! My name is Marqueta (Markeeta) Graham. I live just outside of Idaho Falls, ID in a double-wide cardboard mansion on an acre. We have 13 Buff Orpington hens, two Runner ducks, a mutt, and a cat. I'm a stay-at-home mom to four girls, a baby boy, and one on the way. I love gardening, Jane Austen, anything old-fashioned and quaint (needless to say, I fit in with nearly noone around here, lol!), and am a rabid collector of old womens and children's magazines.
My husband is a sales rep. for Corporate Express by day, an Elvis impersonator by night (and I have the jumpsuits in my closet to prove it!).
I'm mighty glad to have found you all, and am looking forward to getting to know you.

Thanks again, everyone!
I love the fuzzy four-legged kind of babies too, Annika.
Too bad we're on opposite sides of the state!

Welcome Marqueta. I don't have any babies unless you count the fuzzy four legged kind, but I have a lot of family and friends with babies that I dote on. I'm on the outskirts of Moscow in a single wide on about an acre of my friends land. I bought it last spring and have been in a fit of remodeling ever since. I love to garden and especially with native plants. I love old fashioned things too. I'm glad you found us =)
Wishing you joy in small things and peace in your heart

My boy was born 3/28, Alee, so they're pretty close. It's a fun age, isn't it? Is yours crawling yet? Mine is still stuck in reverse!
As far as when the new one is due, sometime in late March/early April, but I wasn't ovulating, so I'm not sure!
Thanks again for the warm welcome,
~Marqueta

Hi Marqueta,
Welcome to the farm. Sounds like you have a nice little houseful. Aren't children grand?
I love all ages because no matter what they are always learning something new. Even the ones who think they know all there is to know when they are teens. 
And Congratulations on the one on the way!
Due when?

Marqueta- My daughter is 6 going on 7 months! When was he born? Nora was born 03/22. Isn't this a great age for the babies? I love how fun they are right now! Each smile, laugh and giggle feels like such gift!

Welcome from Iowa. I love Idaho. Traveled there several times to visit relatives. It is such a pretty state.
What are the ages of your children? |
