I HAVE NEVER BEEN MUCH OF A WRITER, BUT I ENCOURAGE MY BOYS TO WRITE ALL THE TIME IN OUR HOMESCHOOLING. SO...... I AM GOING TO SET A GOOD EXAMPLE AND START THIS BLOG.

LET ME INTRODUCE US: MY HUSBAND, TAFT, & I HAVE BEEN MARRIED FOR 16 YEARS-- I GUESS IT WILL SOON BE 17 YEARS. WE HAVE 3 BOYS: WILLIAM 15 (16 IN APRIL), ADAM 14 AND LEE 8. WE LIVE IN NC WHICH IS WHERE MY HUSBAND GREW UP. I AM A NATIVE IOWAN. THERE ARE THINGS I MISS ABOUT IOWA-- MAINLY MY FAMILY-- BUT WHEN I TALKED TO MY SISTER THE OTHER DAY AND THEY WERE UNDER 'BLIZZARD CONDITIONS' I REMEMBER WHY I LIKE LIVING IN NC. WE HAVE BEEN HAVING SOME NICE WEATHER-- 50-60 DEGREES.

WE LIVE IN THE COUNTRY AND ARE CURRENTLY LEARNING TO RAISE NUBIAN & BOER GOATS. WE HAVE 1 NUBAIN- GOLDIE- SHE JUST GAVE BIRTH TO TWINS - SUGAR & SPICE- 2 WEEKS AGO. WE HAVE 2 NUBIAN / BOER MIXED -- SPECKLES & DAISY. WILLIAM JUST BOUGHT A NUBIAN BUCKLING THIS WEEK WITH HIS WINNINGS FROM STATE 4-H PRESENTATIONS. HE WANTS TO START BREEDING NUBIANS. LEE IS PLANNING TO SHOW ONE OF THE KIDS AT THE 4-H CLOVERBUD SHOW IN APRIL. WILLIAM & ADAM JUST GOT LAMBS WEDNESDAY TO SHOW AT THE 4-H LIVESTOCK SHOW & SALE IN APRIL. WE STAY REAL BUSY THIS TIME OF YEAR. LEE ALSO HAS 2 BABY RABBITS- SUNNY & PEARL AND WE HAVE A VARIETY OF CHICKENS. WE HAVE 1 DOG- MISTY AND 3 CATS-- MAX, PANTHER & SMOKEY. WE WOULD LOVE TO HAVE MORE LAND TO RAISE MORE ANIMALS-- MAYBE IN THE FUTURE.

WE ARE IN OUR 3RD YEAR OF HOMESCHOOLING WHICH I AM SO THANKFUL FOR. GOD OPENED THE DOOR FOR US AFTER MUCH PRAYER-- I HAVE WORKED AS A HOME HEALTH NURSE SINCE 2000 AND IN 2005 A WEEKEND POSITION WAS OFFERED. MY 1ST CHOICE RIGHT NOW IN MY LIFE WOULD BE NOT TO HAVE TO WORK BUT SINCE THAT IS NOT AN OPTION I AM STILL DOING SOMETHING I TRULY ENJOY.

GOD TRULY IS AN AWESOME GOD-- WHO TAKES CARE OF ALL HIS CHILDREN.
