IT'S BEGINNING TO LOOK A LOT LIKE CHRISTMAS!

     I can hardly believe there is only a few days left till Christmas. I had little hands that wanted to help decorate the house for Christmas this year. You can pretty much see our whole house with the exceptions of the bedrooms from our front door so It only takes a few minutes so put up some greens and things to make it look a little more festive. The girls loved helping and even though they are only 5 and 2 they had opinions of where they thought things needed to go. This made for a few laughs and a few reminders that the manger scene is not a toy, IT WILL BREAK! It made me think of my mom reminding my brothers of the same thing as they loaded Mary and Joseph in there toy tractor and wagons. There are a few pieces of her manger scene that are now glued on. 
   The girls loved making snow flakes out of coffee filters and the little one was a little surprised that all the little cuts she made when opened would look pretty cool. As soon as the weather gets cool enough that they need to wear pants and long sleeves outside they think they need hot chocolate when they come in from playing outside. I have this big old dry sink next to our table ( its full of all those extra fancy dishes that you only pull out once or twice a year). This year I decided to make the top into there hot chocolate bar. They loved it!!!!! I'm pretty sure i'll be on a sugar high till next Christmas for diving into it a few times to many myself. 
     Christmas can be such an amazing time of year. Thinking about the fact that Christ came and was born in a stable is amazing to me. Honestly being around farm animals all the time knowing all that comes with that I find it very humbling that he was born in such a less than glamorous place. As exciting and joyous this time of year is it can also for some be a very difficult and sad time of year. Weather its missing a loved one or going through a tragic loss or other struggles I think it is so important to remember the reason we celebrate Christmas in the first place, and reach out to those who may be hurting or not have all the things we are so blessed with.
            MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE!!!!

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...
