Wow! have our days been full!! It has been near impossible for me to find the time to update! And when I look at the last time I actually did I very much realize it is way past due! :) sooooo here goes~

Randy has been busy, busy, BUSY! With work which we are very blessed to have, Randalyn has started the second grade this year and has decided that history is boring! (o dear!) Autumn is turning 5! and has started kindergarten and to my surprise is loving every minute of it, she is my "busy one" so i wasn't sure she'd be able to sit through it. But she is and wishes her school days were longer! Nikayla is learning too, mostly right from wrong these days :) and is bringing much laughter to this household as she learns to mimic her sisters in talk and deed. And me well....I often feel am on overload but the Lord gives me HIS strength daily, while I cook, clean, can, home school, my own schooling, attend births, meet with clients, am...Wife, Mother, Doula, Teacher, Student, Homemaker, etc. etc! I'm sure Doctor, Farmer, Secretary, Cook, and maid all fit in there somewhere too! :) But most of all I'm a child of the King and my greatest desire is to reflect that one gift above all others...like I said, I daily need HIS strength, but don't we all :)

Below enjoy a few glimpses of our summer!...

Life in the country some days can be , o sooo much fun :-p , today we are "potty training", so far all Nikayla has figured out is that if I sit on the potty, i get a chocolate chip! ergh, what have we started! She now needs to learn that we only get chocolate chips if we actually see some results! Then outside to find out that we have MORE babies on the farm, "free kitten's anyone?" But the trick was to find them! finally we did, in the top of daddy's shed stuffed in a volley ball net and box that at any moment was just waiting to fall from the ceiling, so after rearranging that, we discovered 6 little mewing kittens.
Life is good, Our God is great and we love it out here, goofy days and all! :)

It's puppy time again! "10" rolly, poley lil guy's and girls!

All three girls have so much fun with the puppies but it's Nikayla who is lifting about half her own size! She has learned Mia's name quite well (the mommy) and you will often here her outside calling away! Then today I heard Randalyn and Autumn in the shed with the puppies giving them the "buddies" names, seems that happens every litter.:)
