Its getting cold


These are two of my favorite pictures from the summer. My mother in law ususally is the one to take care of the sweet little calves but if she can't Blake will often let me know so I can do it. I miss milking but a 4-5 hour milking with a newborn just wouldn't really be fair to him, the cows or the person id be milking with. So after he was born I decided with a lot of encouragement from my husband it was time to put that aside for a little. Ill stick to helping with the calves when needed for now. The girls love it and the baby was more than happy to lay in the stroller and watch us or take a nap. Today as we were getting ready to head out to the barn I was wishing for summer again. Getting kids out the door when its 40 degrees takes longer than when its 80 degrees. I think I said get your coats on 4 times and it finally happened when I said no TV tonight if I have to ask again.There lucky I gave that many chances before threatening to take away sesame street usually 4 warnings would so not be happening. It was the most beautiful November day! Not a cloud in the sky, chilly but the sun made it feel great. I worked in a family practice for over 7 years but after having the chance to be home full time to help raise our kids and help on the farm I took the opportunity. I miss working with the patients and doctors I worked with at times but am thankful for the chance to be home and watch my kids grow. After a perfect fall day like today I was great full for the chance to be outside and not stuck inside.

IT'S THAT TIME OF YEAR

     Fear, unknown, constant changes. Not words I typically think of when talking about going back to school. Never did I think I would consider homeschooling, but I found myself doing just that. I have the mindset to do what works best for your family and children. Nothing against homeschooling and props to moms who can do it, but for us, that was never something we considered before. While realizing I'm so blessed to be in a spot where I can be home and choose from any of the options our district gave,  it was not an easy decision to make. Once we made our decision guidelines changed and once again we found ourselves wondering if we made the right choice. With some offering in-person, or online a combination of both, or online only its overwhelming. I feel so much for families who both parents are working full time, for the teachers and administrators who have to constantly change things and make decisions only to have to turn around and change things again. Not to...

           As I look around my house toys are everywhere, shoes are strewn about, hats with names of seed companies hang on chairs, and another load of laundry needs put away. I can't help but hope and pray someone doesn't show up at the door, on second thought who cares. It's the middle of harvest and the last few days my house has been a revolving door. Between carpool drop off and pick up, lots of little kids in and out, a husband stopping in to grab lunch not having time to take his shoes off, and milking cows,  keeping my house completely free of any toys or dirt is literally impossible. No matter how hard I try.      The week ended with a bang. Corn was combined, stalks shredded, bailed, stacked away, and the smell of freshly hauled manure filled my house, despite all the candles burning. The kids took turns riding along with Blake and time spent in the barn with me.      Savannah was kind enough to point out several...

Hopeful and Healing

     It has been a crazy few weeks to say the least! Many people have been asking family members or myself how things are going, and how I'm recovering with the social distancing guidelines and all. Honestly things are not going as originally planned but then again that is just the way life is  right now. I don't think anything is going as anyone had planned this spring. I am so thankful that I was able to have my surgery, I was within just a few days of it needing to be canceled, all non emergency surgeries were canceled later that week. I'm Getting stronger and feeling more like myself every week. Thank you for the prayers and meals you have blessed us with the last few weeks.    I can hardly believe how things have changed the last month. I am now doing school at home with Savannah. The first week went really well, but the eye rolling, and" do I have to " comments when I tell her its time to do her school work are now a daily occurrence. I also know...
