Things on this side of the blog have been crazy nutso since my last update. Naturally, it all revolves around our little girl: We had a tough time between weeks 2-4 but finally turned a corner. She’s sleeping well, eating like we’re starving her, and she’s just a baby doll. Meanwhile, the only progress we’ve … Continue reading »
Spring beginnings
Our little farmhand arrived safe and sound April 6 at 2:26 a.m. Mama and her little bean are doing great! She’s getting better about letting me sleep at night and despite the serene look is rather expressive and alert. We’re lucky parents! I’ll be back to regular updating (or whatever passes for regular around here) … Continue reading »

Update on Baby Watch 2013: 5 days to go and so far, she’s content to hang. I’m okay with that, especially since today’s April Fool’s. I haven’t taken many pictures up at the farm lately. This is mostly because having a million pictures of snow drifts and gray just don’t do anything for me. That, … Continue reading »
Roots
Holy cow! Exactly a month ago I updated here. I think time is out to get me, and then I remember I’m trying to prepare for a newborn and it all becomes clear. For those playing the home game, 26 days to go! One of Matt’s cousins and his family came up for a bit … Continue reading »
Farmie Market
I’m always looking for ideas to help us get our little farm off the ground and one thing that Matt and I (his mom, too) talk about is selling our eggs and veggies. Matt had a sign made stating we sell eggs, but since his mom is the predominant seller at the moment, it’s tough … Continue reading »
God Made a Farmer
I’m not big on football. I don’t know the lingo, the positions, the teams, the rules. I watch the Super Bowl every year and root for whoever’s winning. I usually like some of the commercials. I go to parties to socialize and eat. I’ve never really been a Dodge fan. My father ingrained in me … Continue reading »
Baby, it’s cold outside!
The trouble with keeping the schedule I have now — working from home largely and only at another job 3 days/week — is I have a tendency to abuse bedtime. Plus, I’m now in my third trimester and the tiredness is coming back with a vengeance. Add in the fact it’s been terribly cold lately … Continue reading »
Looking back
Horrible. Over a month, almost two, since my last update. Truly, I hate that I’ve been so remiss. Between being sick (twice!), finishing the semester, and Christmas, time has slipped away from me. But, now that I’m ostensibly on break (officially through the 22nd and teaching online for the spring), I’ll have more time to … Continue reading »
A day off
I’m playing hooky from the farm today. Matt went up early this morning to hunt. I never go along when he goes that early so I slept… and slept… and slept… and played… and procrastinated… and… He did call me a little after 1 to see if I was coming up. In all honesty, I … Continue reading »
Timber!
For what seems like the millionth time in the last month, it was rainy, threatening to rain, or wet. I swear, we’re going to star molding if the weather doesn’t let up! Thankfully, we had more sun than clouds on Sunday, although we could have done without the wind (okay, I could have done without … Continue reading »
