Crickets

As I was sitting in Isaac's room getting him ready for bed, I couldn't help but notice the chorus of nightlife outside his open window.
The birds quiet down at night and the crickets start singing. Oh, how I love the beautiful sound when trying to get my little (soon to be ONE) baby boy to sleep.

In the quiet of Isaac's room I have plenty of time to think while waiting for him to finish nursing/bottle. How peaceful the sounds of night life are. All the animals have quieted down for the night and the cool spring breeze that flows through his room creates a very relaxing oasis. I can't help but think how blessed our little family is.

Food on the table, roof over our heads and our family nearby to lend a helping hand. What more could a young farmers wife want?

We're still here!

We are still here! Busy, getting older, going nuts...

Here are a few updates:

• Isaac started walking about a month -2 months ago and now he thinks he should be running EVERYWHERE!
• I started a weight loss program to lose weight (duh) and get my hormones back to rights. It is a difficult program and NOT for the faint of heart. You can find more information here at  The Rejuvenation Center. Its located here in Lancaster and the staff are wonderful! They have helped me every step of the way. Though its not cheap it is well worth the input! I have lost over 20lbs so far! Whoot Whoot! 
• Rhya was accepted for preschool in the fall and she can hardly contain herself! 
• As a reward for not wetting her bed, Rhya was allowed to get her ears pierced. She is thrilled... She was a pro... No tears at ALL... sadly she associates beauty with earrings... This is something we are slowly working through.
• My house is a wreck... normal for spring time when we all would rather be outside pulling weeds than inside washin dishes. 
• Its foal season! Mabel (my mare) is due within the next month. Yeah! We have waited a loooooooooong time!!!

We are fast approaching Isaac's first birthday! I am so excited to be watching him grow and yet it grips my heart to know how fast time is going! He is forming into quite the young man! Testy like his sister, hard headed like me and wants to figure out how everything works like his daddy! He also has CURLS!!! If he was a little girl he'd be sooooo cute with pretty bows! I am not looking forward to when he needs a haircut!

My oldest sister in law is getting MARRIED this may! That is also fast approaching! We are so excited for her and her soon to be husband! 

My sister and her husband are expecting their first baby in august! I am so thrilled to finally be an Aunt!!!!!!! My niece or nephew is going to be spoiled and is already oh so loved! It doesn't matter if they live in a different state or not!!!! 

That's all for now folks!
