Just for fun...

 Just for fun I thought I'd post something on the blog. It's been three years, exactly. Honestly I'm quite surprised anyone still comes here. So, for those special people who do still check up on this blog, here is a little update.

The gardening season is in full swing. I've moved our garden from the last time you've seen it, and I really like the new area. It's quite large, but I've integrated flowers into it as well as the usual vegetables. My hope is to sell some cut flower bouquets this year at the farmers market, as well as the vegetable starts that I currently sell. 

The hoophouse, below, has become one of my favorite places to be. After being almost destroyed in a storm early this year, we've repaired it and strengthened it, and it's currently filled with probably close to 2,000 plants. It's been quite a fun and educational experience growing all of these different plants. 

The little boys have grown immensely and it's a bittersweet thing. My big boys are almost grown up now and turning into such fine young men. It really is a joy to be able to watch them all grow into their own persons. They're all such unique and wonderful children. 

Our house is nearly finished from the housefire repairs, though we still have some minor cosmetic things to complete. 

Since we last spoke, we've had some major changes in our animal and pet world. We've lost our beloved Tank, as well as his little friend Bailey. 


We've also added sheep and a young cow to our livestock. Of course we are always having more goat babies, hatching chicks and ducks, and we raised a couple more pigs for meat. There's always something new!

But the most significant thing to have happened in the last 3 years was the death of my daughter. She was just 20 years old and her death was very sudden and unexpected. 



So that's it for a quick little update. If you get a chance, please check out our YouTube channel for a LOT more updates, like the most recent one, linked below:

Thank you all SO much for your continued support and friendship! I hope to "see" you all again soon!

Getting Ready for Back to (Home)School

 We received all of our new curriculum this week and it almost felt like Christmas! The new books are so nice and clean and really make me excited for starting our school year. We are using Abeka books this year for our homeschooling. 
Little W is starting K4 this year, since he won't turn five until December. He's very excited!

Baby I was hoping that there would be toys in the boxes. Haha!


Even though he won't officially be in school, he will no doubt pick up some new
knowledge from his big brothers. 

While not quite as excited as their little brothers, the two older boys (5th and 6th grades) are pleased that I was able to work out their school schedule to being only four days a week.
They said, "That's much better than public school!"

Yes, son. Yes it is.

Catching Up Birthdays

We celebrated Baby I's 2nd birthday back in September, and Little W's 4th birthday about a week ago. I can't believe how fast these little guys are growing up!

Little Climbers

The two little guys love to spend a large part of their day looking out our big bedroom window. They watch for passing trucks and tractors, and any of our farm critters wandering by.

Baby I is 11 Months Old!

I know I've been bad about not posting regular updates, and I apologize for that. Baby I is now 11 months old! I can't believe how fast time flies! He's almost ready to take his first step, has a mouthful of teeth, and likes to babble a lot.

Baby I is 9 Months Old!

I realize I'm terribly behind, but Baby I turned nine months old last week. He's 27 pounds of pure adorable-ness! He's been changing so much just in the last few days, by learning how to crawl and pull himself up to standing. He has 8 teeth too!

Baby I is Six Months Old!

Little baby boy just keeps on growing! He's up two more pounds since last month and now is up to 24 pounds! I've never had any baby weigh this much at only six months old. He's a delightful little boy who loves his big brother so very much!

Baby I is Five Months Old!

This big boy is five months old now! He's a whopping 22 pounds, and wears size 12month clothes. He's a wonderful little guy who is almost sleeping through the night- usually only waking once. He's teething, and loves to grab my face and tries to chew on it. Haha!

Baby I is 4 Months Old!


 Our precious Baby I turned four months old on the 21st. I can't believe how big he is- he weighed in at exactly 21 pounds! I knew he was a chunk, judging by the fat rolls that I don't recall the other kids having. Haha! He's 27 inches long. He is just the sweetest baby- is always happy, rarely cries, and sleeps really well.
