Summer Days 2012

It's been a while....

 

I decided that I really needed to keep a better diary of what is happening around here, on the "farm" and around our family.

It seemed very obvious when I had a look and saw the photos that I had loaded here (see below!) and I believe they were taken towards then end of October 2013!?

 

Even more so, when I looked back and I have no record of the exact time that we brought our new milk cow  'milky'.

 

Which is actually more frustrating than you might think.

 

You see the farmer that I brought 'Milky' off said that she would be due to calf around March... as of today this hasn't actually happened - even though she looks like she is quite pregnant and I have been assured by my good friend Renata that she definitely is!

Damien is saying that she has a phantom pregnancy...

 

Now if I had of actually kept a record of when at least I could say it was a possibility still or not!

 

 

 

 

The other reason is that our family is growing and changing very quickly!

 

JB is 4 1/2 and is definitely acting like it!

He is getting so tall and enjoying being Daddy's big helper.

 He started preschool as well, which has been a bit of a trial (for both him and me!)

 

 

 

 

Our family has also grown in size!

 

As of March our family grew by one very cute teenage girl.

We are doing some Foster care and so far it has been quite an eye opener.

We are learning together and things have been quite smooth considering all that these poor kiddos have had to deal with.

 

So from now on I am going to try to be on here at least once a month

(I just typed moth... I shall endeavour NOT to allow it to gather moths before I am back on here!).

I will try to throw in some back dated things so at least we can have a photo record of what we have been up to over the past 12 months.

Catching ball with Daddy

 

 

 

There is nothing like the delight

 

of a little boy
 

playing catch with

 

his Daddy

 

on a warm Autumn evening!

 

 

We are so blessed.

Hebrews 10

 

The Full Assurance of Faith

 

¹⁹ Therefore, brothers,

^[c] since we have confidence to enter the holy places by the blood of Jesus,

²⁰ by the new and living way that he opened for us through the curtain,

that is, through his flesh,

²¹ and since we have a great priest over the house of God,

 ²² let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith,

with our hearts sprinkled clean from an evil conscience

and our bodies washed with pure water.

 

 

 

 

 

²³ Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering,

for he who promised is faithful.

²⁴ And let us consider how to stir up one another to love and good works,

²⁵ not neglecting to meet together, as is the habit of some,

but encouraging one another,

and all the more as you see the Day drawing near.
