News


**First things first. Our five-year-old Australian Shepherd, Sheba, let us know about a week ago that she was going to have puppies (she got REALLY fat). Well, last Sunday she had them. 10 of them. Yep, that's right 10 little puppies have now been added to our "farm". They are getting to be pretty cute and I know they will just get cuter and cuter, which will make giving them away in 8 weeks all the harder, but alas we don't actually live on a farm, so away they must go.

**I am on day 3 of little to no dairy. Someone told my hubby that dairy affects eczema and since I have it pretty bad on my hands he thought I should give it a try. So here I am, no cheese, no milk, no dairy. Its sad, I must say. I love dairy products, but I am going to give it a try, because I hate eczema.

**My not having dairy products has positively affected William who is now a happy, happy little guy. No more bubbles in the tummy and he is eating like a champ. So, one more reason I shouldn't have cheese, oh the sacrifice :-)

**We've started "school" with Josiah, Benson and their cousin Thomas. It is pretty fun. We've been learning about the letter B this week and we're excited to move on to the letter C. They are doing great, loving to do projects, read new library books and color pictures of all sorts of things. When we learn about a letter we also focus on something that starts with that letter. A was Airplanes, B - Bears. I am thinkin' Cars for C, but maybe somebody has a better idea? We already know an awful lot about cars around this house :-)

**Last but not least, the break in whether has provided great opportunities for the boys to use their rain boots. They LOVE puddles. Jumping, throwing rocks, peeing in the puddle - what more could little boys ask for?! Thank you God for puddles!!!

Hey Dani! I didn't know you had a blog. I came across it in the most roundabout way. :) Just had time for a quick read of your latest post but I'm looking forward to seeing you Friday!
