In addition to cows, a
few sheep graze on the
pasture.
“Christine inherited
the sheep when we pur
chased the farm,” David
said. “At first, she got a
few dollars when she
had them sheared, but
now she needs to pay to
have them sheared.”
Christine has con
tinued teaching
throughout the birth of
their three children. A
full-time nanny comes
to the farm each school
day to watch the child
ren while Christine is
working. She leaves at 7
a.m. to reach the school
and often needs to work
evenings with the adult
farmer program and
FFA activities with the
students.
Both parents take
turns chauffeuring their
oldest daughter Erin,
who is Lebanon Coun
ty’s Li’l Miss Dairy
Miss, to dairy promo
tions. (See story on page
B-10.)
Combining full-time
teaching, farming, and
raising a family isn’t
always easy.
Christine said, “Like
everyone else, we have
our ups and downs and
wish we had more time
to spend together as a
family. We treasure
family lime. When we
have it, we make sure it
is as quality as
possible.”
The combination of
responsibilities, Christ
ine believes, gives her
perspective. She said, “I
like coming home to the
farm. Farm responsibili
ties keep me in tune to
what’s going on so that I
can use it in the class
room and with my adult
