Just an Update.

haven't been on here in a dogs age so I thought I'd let you know what's going on around here :)

I planted some seeds (tomato, thyme, basil, various flowers...etc) back in February and they were coming along quite nicely, until I decided to put them into my greenhouse, and BAM the frost hit, and there they were the next morning, limp as linguine, hanging over their pots. I shed some tears, then threw them in the manure pile, like any other farmers wife would do.

We've all come down with a super cold that has the kids and the hubs and I hacking like donkeys. It attacks the lungs, and it's been quite....productive. (barf-o-rama on the mucous, keep a kleenex within 2 feet of Ashlyn at all times, or you'll be covered....that's all I have to say about that.)

I started feeling a bit better yesterday and was back into the gardens, and made a chicken dinner, blueberry muffins, blueberry cake, and chicken soup in hopes of kicking this cold...as they say, stuff the cold....

Eden is doing well, caught a bit of the sniffles with the rest of us, but it seems to have hit her the least, Thank you Lord. She had a bit of a dilemma last week where she went 10 days without a bowel movement .... I've never wished to see poop as much as I did last week. The Dr said to try a suppository and .... then I began wishing to not see poop... he, he, suppositories work, and that's all I have to say about that.

Sorry about the bodily functions/fluids posted here today, particularly if you're just sitting down for a snack of say some peanut butter or squeeze cheese....

I'm getting 11 stumps removed of the property and I can't wait to re-claim the land and plant some grass seed. There's another wedding here on the farm this summer, Dwight's sister Patti will be wed on the 28th of June. Thus I'm trying to get things looking presentable for the big day. Seedums, hostas, and peonies have been transplanted and I'm now onto edging. Yippee. No really I enjoy getting out there and getting dirty, particularly when Eden is sleeping soundly in her stroller and the other 2 are in the dirt heap, filling and dumping their wheel barrow. Loads of fun for all!

Anyway, that's it for now, my apologies for the randomness, Hope you're all doing well!!

Eden ... you're looking a little stiff.

I came around the corner the other day, wanting to check on my wee one, thinking she'd be rocking back and forth in dreamland.... when I saw this... ACK!

I had forgotten that I had laid Eden in her cradle and Ashlyn decided to pick up where I left off, and put her baby in the still warm swing and covered her up nice and snug.

Steve and Eden

This is my brother holding Eden. Can you say 'Heart....melting' ?

The Other Day.

I've been getting out more lately....a feat in and of itself. Not too long ago I took a breather from the kiddies and got to snap some photos of the stunning snow trees. Our laneway really lends itself to good shots.

On another note, yesterday was our Palm Sunday service at church. It was held at our bigger sister church and it was really nice to get together with another large group of people who all love the Lord. The worship time was great and so was the speaker. Dwight and I walked away from church feeling renewed and satisfied once again. I must say having 3 young kids can pose some challenges on Sunday mornings, but every time I feel like not going, because of being too tired, or not wanting to get everyone ready, I think about my children's spiritual well being and that's all it takes to get me out the door. My mom always made a point of getting us to church every Sunday and put us in Sunday school...I learned so much from those years, and I can't take that away from my kids. They came home yesterday telling us all about Jesus riding on a donkey on Palm Sunday, and lifting the palm branches in praise, shouting 'HOSANNA!!!'

...it was music to my ears, nothing makes me happier than to hear my little ones speak about Jesus.

Her.

I know it's all about her lately .. .but I can't resist. I'm so in love. Again in this picture, she just had a bath and her hands were chilly, so I wrapped her up and only her little peepers were showing.

Here she is with Fat Cat, he decided she needed another bath, so after a good sniff, he went ahead and licked her...sometimes I think he thinks he's a she. (got that?? lol)

She just had her bath and needed to be warmed up, so Oma snatched her up and snuggled. I love this photo.

Who's the cutest little nephew in the whole wide world?? Zachariah!!!

Twin lovies..

Hope you're all enjoying a lovely Valentines Day!

(Eden on left, Ava on right...My SIL Aliesha was given 2 of the same oufits for Ava and we decided to have a photo shoot with the little ones, more pics to come :)
