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.

TIME IS NO LONGER MINE

 My child: “Mom!!! I'm hungry, can I have a snack?” Me: “I just gave you a snack.” My child: “But I’m still hungry.” My child: “Mom!!! When is dad coming home?” Me: “He was just in for lunch it will be a while.” *Crash* Me: “Girls what fell?” My child: “Mom she broke the closet door again.” Seconds later... Me: “Get off the kitchen counter we just had lunch I'll get you a snack in a little bit.” Me:“Stop jumping on the sofa!!” Me: “Do not let the dog in he just ran though mud!!!” These our the conversations or things I say almost daily.         Yes my days are filled with breaking up fights, time outs, hugs, laughs, laundry, cleaning up spills, and the list goes on and on. I wouldn’t change it for the world. It’s only  March and at times I’m counting down till they start chopping rye. Something about the excitement of that first harvest of the year makes us all a little excited and happier after a long the winter indoors. Yes, it m...

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...

PEACE LIKE A RIVER

          Do you really think getting an MRI is necessary? I mean, I feel fine lots of people have little growths on there liver and there usually nothing to worry about, and an MRI is expensive. Yes, you have three kids you are young and the ultrasound shows that it's big. I'm not quick to go overboard with test either but this time I think it's important. This was the conversation between me and the GI doctor several weeks ago. I agreed and two days later had an MRI. After having the MRI done I came home we all jumped in the car and headed for the state farm show, mamma needed a milk shake and some fried food.  We had a blast! The kids loved it, and we even snagged a close parking spot which trust me is a big deal at the farm show. On our way home my phone rang and I saw it was my family doctor, I knew if they were calling that fast with results something was off. The MRI showed this mass is really large and should be monitored. "How are you fe...
