I bought a Berkey filter a year ago. I wish I had waited. I’ll keep your suggestions for our next home. Which I hope we can find sooner than later 🙏🙏🙏

This video confirms once more the excellent reputation Portuguese construction workers have all over Europe. Nothing is too complicated for them, they work quickly, deliver on schedule, and, most of all, the results are always impeccable. As for you guys, keep on spreading your enthusiam and good humor. Best of luck for all your projects.

[@TheNewbys]

Thanks! Well said. ❤️❤️

[@stuartshackell5254]

Working in Johannesburg in the construction industry in the 80s, 90s and 2000s the best workmen were the older Portuguese craftsmen. Skilled and proud of their work.

Orange tree, Not too close to lime and grapefruit or they cross pollinate.

[@Landie.vanrooyen]

😂😂😂 I love how John picked the boys up while planting the tree so funny

[@lfuentes4098]

Like cubs. Or cats. 😂 Very cute.

[@kdclothes]

The boys loved it.

[@ladyday1]

I loved that part too ,lol

[@Mel.H_]

Me too😂

[@joycady8325]

I love the fact that the boys can just go in the garden and pick vegetables and eat them dirt and all....haha! What a beautiful life these little guys have and will always remember❤

[@solveigirenesigdestadlund3072]

And without shoes🦶🏻🦶🏻🦶🏻🦶🏻👍🏼🇳🇴🇨🇲

[@mariapiedadefigueiredo7803]

Do you have Rosemary. Alecrim ?

[@ba3140]

Imagine doing all of that work with the big machines with 2 little boys and an excited dog to navigate around. I love the patience and care that you all and mario have. You are giving those boys such amazing experiences by being involved in whats happening at their home. Thank you for sharing your journey!!

[@TheNewbys]

🙏🙏🙏❤️❤️

[@sandromarques.]

These little boys are having a great childhood time! A very healthy environment, full of nature, fun, and parent's love, It's such an oasis in the world we live today! Well done guys, keep it on!

[@mscarlarn]

I chuckled when John picked the boys up by their shirts. So funny. Hope both trees survive transplanting.

[@treehuggingmusician595]

Sawyer eats a carrot that he pulled from the garden with soil still on it. Mom asks him if he would like to wash it. He nods yes, with dirt all around his mouth. Priceless.

[@elizabethwezelman8547]

Loved how John scooped up Sawyer and Crusoe to move them away from the digger! The smile of delight from Crusoe was precious! With Sawyer, forget the pizza his interest is the cheese! I am hopeful for the Wisteria.... It was so good to see the chickens looking so well and happy, and Sawyer's interest in checking for eggs in the "stinky" interior. Loved how he likes his earth coated carrot, and Crusoe's thoughtfulness in digging up Tara's hoped for bigger beets as a treat for the chickens supper! Did you have them in a salad at the stone table? Thanks for this delightful episode. "See" you again soon.

[@Katrina957]

Hard to know what I enjoyed the most this episode - John picking the boys up by their tops to get them out of the way, John’s excitement about the new orange garden he is visualising, the boys putting pizza under their cheese mound or how helpful Obi is with all tasks! Lovely family time.

[@TheNewbys]

Thanks Katrina! ❤️❤️

[@kadiancole2553]

I watch every episode and yet I am in awe of Crusoe and Saywers' vocabulary. It's like magic happening infront of my eyes each and every episode.

[@sadeekastemmet4415]

I agree with you. They adorable ❤❤

[@TheNewbys]

❤️❤️

[@carolynwiley6429]

1. Moving the orange tree and moving the boys, so delightful! 2. Caught a glimpse of John’s mobile with a blue case: good on you! 3. Sawyer being the little cheese thief! 4. Obie helping move the wisteria! Sooo many delightful moments in this vlog

[@TheNewbys]

Thanks Carolyn! Just our average day on the farm 😆 fun to share a bit more of “real life” and not just projects for a change 🙏🏼

[@florentinalily]

Obie's sheepdog instinct is kicking in and he is herding them. Good dog😁

[@tillysanders2593]

I'm always impressed with Jual .. what a great young man.

[@Intentionally_jodie]

The wisteria will definitely grow back absolutely fine for those panicking 😂

[@franciemontgomery2935]

What a fun video filled with children, a dog, chickens, pizza, trees and gardening. Everything I love!

[@TheNewbys]

Thank you! ❤️🙏

[@elsestelema6273]

That digger guy is brilliant, had to chuckle the way John moved the boys

[@maureenlowther7621]

Your boys are having a wonderful childhood in a loving peaceful environment with Obie to play and have fun. In the world we live in today they have all the freedom. What impressive work with the big house down and the space cleared now is the time to build your dream house.❤️❤️❤️

[@TheNewbys]

Thanks Maureen!

[@loribeasley1956]

The boys are priceless!! This is how a childhood should be like with beets and carrots and a little dirt on the side.

[@sandrahohmann1898]

Hello Newbys. It was lovely to see the chickens again and that you are still getting produce from the vege garden. I was also happy to see the orange tree and wisteria getting replanted on the farm. I can never get over the mountain views. you are very fortunate to live in Portugal.

[@clairetolmie5640]

So many things i loved about this episode, from relocating trees,( I'm sure they'll thrive) to Sawyers earthy face when he realised he could have had his carrot washed😂! Keep it up my friends, we're with you all the way! ❤

[@TheNewbys]

Thanks Claire!! ❤️

[@loredanabriosi9582]

Jetais ravie d avoir la traduction française

[@Hollybank5]

This is all SO exciting ! So much progress made in a few days 🎉 But for me - this was the most EPIC part of the video ,. A total DAD move !! John .. picking the boys up by their shirts !!! I laughed so hard !!!! ❤❤❤❤

[@marthayahoogillespie9567]

Me too 😅

[@TheNewbys]

Hahah thanks Holly!! 😆

[@JudithSegunda]

From nothing to a great home, to a rubble. We have witnessed each and every transformation. Now we are going to watch and experience your journey towards a much more beautiful home. Thank you so much for sharing your life with us from the other side of the earth. ❤

[@TheNewbys]

Thank you Judith! ❤️

[@marylacken4016]

Love how Obi is helping evrrywhere!

[@TheNewbys]

He’s a great dog. ❤️

[@pamlucas1326]

Sawyer really loves his cheese. Bless his heart and Crusoe too. So love your family. Watching your videos is like having a big hug from you all.

[@doublescorpions]

I laughed out loud watching John pick up the boys by their shirts to move them out of the way. I guess that's a prerequisite for the boys' shirts that they be strong enough to be able to do that! Good job Papa Bear! S.

[@lindarossouw5052]

I'm living with my son and his 2 boys. Today I had a surprise for them. After school, when they opened the door, 2 chickens came running to them! Their faces were absolute precious! Love from SA. 10:24

[@TheNewbys]

Oh that’s amazing Linda! Well done you xx

[@Ksthedreamer]

Watching the season come and go on the farm fills my heart with so much joy, your blogg is my happy place x

[@jotann6430]

I just love seeing the boys barefoot and grounding. God bless you all 🙏🏼❤️

[@soam-s8k]

It's very nice to have Joao to help you guys around.

[@TheNewbys]

It is, we’re so grateful to have him as a friend and neighbour

[@candacecaldwell4336]

I loved the way "Baby" Sawyer sprinkled cheese on his 🍕 Pizza slice ! ! ! Just too grown up now ❤

[@manuelasilva9359]

So the wisteria and orange tree are looking 19 and a half years younger just like John! Fingers crossed they grow! The orange blossom will make you giddy with delightful scent … guaranteed. And ‘obrigada’ for all the brilliant, funny moments, best ever!

[@cjames282]

LOVE that you were able to relocate the trees. Can't wait to see how they do. Crusoe took charge and picked the beets and decided where to have dinner at the stone table. Sawyer eating dirty carrots. It just doesn't get any better!! LOL. Thanks for sharing with us.

[@infour44]

Desculpe but I can’t resist: ‘You were only supposed to blow the bloody doors off’ 😂 Loving the project. You’ve a great team there.

[@TheNewbys]

Thank you! 😊 Is that Butch Cassidy and the Sundance kid?

[@paisley293]

@7:32 papa bear picks up his cubs in one fell swoop!! 😂😂And they loved it!!

"Do you want to wash it first?" Shakes head... LOL I love you guys.

[@debbieclark9333]

Joel looks are really changing. The boy is fast becoming the man..

[@ourendlessworld]

João

[@TheNewbys]

He is!

[@annettesharrock1236]

I had to laugh at Sawyer he was not happy with the pizza but noo more cheese needed🤣bless him. Glad you moved the orange tree John also the wisteria they will all grow back nicely, Had too laugh at John how he scooped the boys up to move then from the digger 😂 Thankyou for sharing Tara John Crusoe and Sawyer😘❤❤

[@irenemathieson4229]

That was a sweet, homey video which I thoroughly enjoyed. Busy, happy, grubby boys, a dog and some chickens made for interesting footage. Hope the Wisteria thrives and covers your new stone house. 🌸

[@TheNewbys]

Glad you enjoyed it, it was a fun one to make ❤️

[@rebeccaparkin5220]

Oh that picture of John picking up the boys by the scruff of their necks while the guy was using the digger to replant the orange tree was a classic! Made me laugh. Love seeing the progress ❤

[@TheNewbys]

Thanks Rebecca!

[@lesley-annecarle]

Tara and John your sons are just sooo delightful, making pizzas, such a happy family, sooo ..... much love and fun.

[@TheNewbys]

Thank you Lesley. 🙏❤️

[@MarianneInmarsilia]

You are, in the midst of demolition , already rebuilding your new home sweet home ❤❤❤❤ Your dog has been bred to guard sheep. So he is guarding the coop like he’d round up the sheep in the meadows. The same way he shepherds the boys . Thank goodness he has the space to run off his urges ! Lovely your boys have a guard dog to keep a watchful eye on their wandering ❤

[@TheNewbys]

❤️❤️

[@Murphster57]

Sawyer loves his cheese,so funny when he added more cheese to his pizza,lovely boys,a credit to you both.❤❤

[@sharonmcfeat5324]

Oh my goodness how brilliant is this life for those boys and crusoe picking his crop :) Whilst swayer just munches his carrot fresh from the ground John picking boys up like two mucky little kittens Loved this episode xx

[@ruthholbrook]

It's not often I see a video where trees go for a walk! I'm sure Sir Wisteria understood what John and Joao were saying with the puffing, panting and grunting. Lovely to go back to watching the simplicity of regular farm life. It was a reminder to value those little, ordinary parts of life because they stop the big, significant things being too overwhelming.

[@TheNewbys]

Well said Ruth. ❤️

[@cecilianunes-q3e]

First of all we love to see you all of course animals included. We saw all yr videos. We are Portuguese and wish your family the best. ❤❤❤❤

[@dawnfitzgerald2951]

I absolutely loved Sawyers face as he told you he’s eating was eating a carrot……mud and all. Reminded me of my youngest who would also eat anything. Life on the farm on a sunny day is amazing. So much new stuff to come. Yaaaay.❤️💋🇨🇦

[@lieuwina]

I was happy to see the orange and wisteria trees getting replanted and the places you choose were very good ones. Crusoe and Sawyer are just too cute and how Crusoe helped John put fertilizer on the Wisteria and Orange trees is growing into a very caring young chap and learning the ways of the farm and then getting food for the chickens and Sawyer finding himself some carrot. Beautiful family.

[@TheNewbys]

Thank you very much!

[@Sophie-y4v5n]

You are in good hands the Portuguese people are very good workers and honest , thanks for loving my beautiful country . I’m not in Portugal I’m in USA for 45 years , I’m not going back because my children and grandchildren. I wish you the best enjoy I’m sure your children will have lots of good memories.❤❤ 🇵🇹🇺🇸

[@Bindismom]

Good morning Newbys, you make today special by being here. Thankyou🥰👍👍

[@TheNewbys]

Good morning! ❤️❤️🙏🙏

[@kellyeggers2720]

Also, o cannot believe how quickly Sawyer has grown into such a big element boy and a perfect little brother for wonderful Crusoe!!❤❤

[@kellyeggers2720]

Eloquent. Lol😊

[@annekeolivier9646]

I have a lot of faith in the survival of the 2 trees and John's green fingers 😉 Lovely seeing the grown up Chick and friends🐥🐔🐓 I hope the beetroot salad was a hit and Sawyer eating the carrot straight from the ground, was priceless 🇿🇦💙

[@TheNewbys]

Thanks Anne! ❤️❤️

[@maryhammer5296]

Sawyer must love cheese. Those boys are so cute! Your family is beautiful.

[@TheNewbys]

Thank you so much 🤗

[@lesley-annecarle]

Sooo happy.............. watching the fruitful orange tree being replanted, next to the stone table, Wonderful!!!!!!!!!!

[@margiemistretta8885]

Wow that was a hard prune on wisteria I wouldn't have gone that hard

[@TheNewbys]

Thanks Lesley! Big moments there and we are confident it will thrive too. 🙏🙏❤️❤️

[@cherriericca9879]

John, I love the way you pick up your two boys to get them out of harm's way!!

[@TheNewbys]

😂😂

[@Reet64]

Sawyer and Crusoe will have the most robust immune systems 😂😂😂

[@kitwhite9372]

They sure will. I was watching their little feet walking around in the chicken run.

[@pentatonya1778]

Was thinking the same thing… dirty garden veggies AND barefoot in chicken coop. Wish I’d raised my kids more like this. Even tho there is way more baths & laundry… there is WAAAY more FUN!!!

[@TheNewbys]

Yes they do!

[@judymcgovern8454]

Fabulous video. Crusoe and Sawyer are two very adorable boys and what a wonderful life you are creating for them. Xx

[@maudeestrella8196]

I have faith that Johns green thumbs will prove him right. Watching Crusoe heft that bag of fertilizer was impressive. Sawyer eating his carrot with the soil was hilarious. 🇨🇦❤️🇨🇦

[@TheNewbys]

Thanks 👍

[@melanierawlings35]

I loved seeing John picking the boys up by the back of their shirts. They just want to be in the middle of all the excitement so it is nice to see them be able to enjoy things but being kept safe when needed. Obi trying to help move the wisteria was fun. And I loved seeing the interactions with at the chicken coop and as the boys came with their harvest!

[@CarolineLewton]

Oh my! I laughed out loud at the barrow of beetroots! 😂 so “Helpful” Crusoe… and then pops up Sawyer with a carrot uprooted and immediately snacked on 😂 Thank you for brightening my dark November evening!!! 🇬🇧

[@TheNewbys]

Thanks Carol ❤️❤️🥕

[@debbiesearle8442]

I am so excited for you all. Big steps forward. Your boys have the best life with the best parents. Blessings

[@JulieHamilton-o7m]

It is so much fun to watch your interaction with the boys, you both are making such a great investment in their growth and futures!

[@TheNewbys]

Thank you Julie!

[@LadyMass]

Obie “helping” with the wisteria had me lolling 😂

[@kellyh8347]

Tara-you are looking fabulous!! Another laugh out loud episode-seeing John grabbing the kids by the shirts and Obi getting in the way of everything! You guys always have your hands full! Great move on the citrus forest and the thought of berries everywhere, just fantastic! Hugs as always from California!

[@TheNewbys]

Thank you so much Kelly! ❤️❤️

[@MarjorieFinlay-j7n]

The dog pulling the tree is amazing

[@pollyb.4648]

A tear in my eye- the digger saved you digging and the Orange 🍊 tree is safe. John says 😅 "More lawn!" 💚 Weird empty space now; on to The Build!!🎉

[@TheNewbys]

On to the build Polly! Woohooo!!! ❤️❤️

[@ananeto81]

Obbie trying to grab the tree branch was hilarious to watch first thing this morning and Sawyer topping his pizza with more cheese even more. Great work, everyone!

[@TheNewbys]

Love it

[@madolynway6612]

Those boys and their dog! How patient you are working while they are in the middle of everything!

[@TheNewbys]

[@89melody92]

I loved the little pizza scene and Sawyer‘s face when Tara asked him about washing the carrot ♥️ What a privilege to get to share some of those special moments with your family. I hope that our little girl can get even a little bit of a childhood like your boys. Building chaos and all.

Oh man I’m having one of those days where everything is not going right, can’t find anything, just really frustrating… it’s lunch time and decided to give it up, take a time out, hoping to open KZbin and zone out.

First day of discovering your videos and brought a tear to see the demolition but the tree saving made it worth the time in early morning. It’s deep snow here in eastern Montana, USA. So my chickens are closed in and so are we, love the greenery miss mine.

[@sutruman167]

Your Wisteria will thrive. I cut back and removed my wisteria 13 years ago. Today I found a volunteer plant growing up my tree. No love or care provided!

[@TheNewbys]

That is awesome! Thank you, we can’t wait to watch it thrive 🙏🏼

[@selinab8532]

am glad you saved the wisteria, i love them too & hope it survives for you to finally have it growing on a new trellis when the house is built; it will be absolutely gorgeous flowering over the front of your new stone work thanx for sharing

There are lots of examples of good loving mums around. You are, of course, an excellent example. Not as many examples of patient loving dads. I'm glad João gets to see that modeled by John on a regular basis.

I'm a water analyst for CLEAN VALLEY WATER in Fresno CA we do whole house filtration because your skin absorbs all of those chemicals quickly and doesn't pass through your kidneys the chemicals go straight to the blood stream and can't get filtered it skips the kidneys....so your kinda putting a bandaid on a gunshot lol you have little boys whom I'm sure love to soak in the tub and during that soak they absorb more chemicals than drinking your skin is your biggest organ and is quite absorbent .Sooooo get a whole house filter and you'll all be safer... And you'll notice after you shower how much softer your skin is for lack of any chemicals... Luv you guys❤❤❤
