(Our children circa 2006.) 21 years ago today, my life changed forever. My little boy was born, and now he is officially an adult…oh the bittersweetness of it all. I am so proud of the man he is becoming. I’m proud of the kid he’ll always be. Most of all, I feel proud to have […]

Goat Milking
So, we milked June for the first time today. What an ordeal! She is not used to this, so was not happy to be restrained, but she calmed down alot when she realized she was getting flax/coconut chips at the same time. HA! Jason held her horns and stood over her locking her hips in […]
Birth…
This could, or might not be, farm related…but it is important to me none-the-less. First a little background: We had homebirths with both our girls…specifically waterbirths. Both experiences, while vastly different (just as the girls personalities are very different), were the most intense/wonderful/amazing/magical/scary/thrilling experiences of our lives thus far. We used several resources in our […]
Introducing Kubrah!
Our newest baby. We swapped one of the baby boys for her on Saturday. June was NOT pleased at all. Poor thing. She refuses to accept this little girl, so Kubrah is a house goat for right now. HAHA! She is the sweetest thing…LOVES her bottle and is so snuggly! We are really happy with […]
Showgirls!
Cute huh? This is the type of chicks we will be getting this weekend. We are officially nuts right? HAHA!
Charlie Wilson’s War

Happy New Year!!
I never was one for New Year’s resolutions as I’ve always hated setting myself up for a fall – not that THAT always stopped me in my younger days, but that’s another set of stories for another time. This year I have decided that my goals for 2008 are to become more organized, more self-sustaining […]
