Dreaming of a simple way

Been awhile...

So, it's been awhile since I've blogged anything. Guess I kind of forgot about mine while I was reading the more fascinating blogs on homestead.

Anyway.... we are doing well. Homeschooling is behind but we are catching up at a steady pace. I am hoping to get some chickens next month. John says no and I still have to check the city ordinances to see if it's legal. My backyard is fully fenced and we have a shed that will make a perfect coop. The local Coastal Farm Supply gives 5 free chicks away per address each spring. So that is what I'm planning on doing.

We got a kitten in November. We had been having mouse problems, and now I think just the presence of a cat is keeping them away. Milo is cute, orange and can be quite a rascal. He was neutered a month ago. William is so in love with his cat. He is mostly an indoor cat and only goes out with us once in awhile.

The weather here has been so funny lately, sunny... rainy... hail....... snow.... then sun again. sometimes all in one day!

William got new orthotics for his feet last week. We also made appointments to start his speech and occupational therapy back up again. so that will start in a week.

My sister in law and brother who were expecting a baby in May found out that the baby has Trisomy 18 which is fatal in practically all cases. So she is being induced next week, she will be 30 weeks along at the time. They have 2 boys already and the baby she is having next week is a girl. Please keep them in your prayers, Tommy & Karly.

Also Tommy has been in the Middle East for months and is coming home for this occasion, for 2 weeks paternity leave.

So that is my update for now. Hope all of you are well.

I had to ask my mom what the University of Oregon Duck was! lol, I’m not much of a sports fan…:) We had a bunch of the yellow calico at home and we wanted to get something to contrast it and the green looked really nice with it. That’s why the colors are what they are. Nice to meet you on the blogger!
