decisions, decisions

Hey. Want an update?



-Jif is 6 months old, almost sitting by herself, & is growing like a weed.



A very large weed in fact.



She is leaps & bounds bigger than ever her big brothers were at this age. Yikes!





-Skippy is in preschool & loving it! Since we are holding him back a year, he is quite a bit older than most of the children there.

And he got his first combine ride this fall since Farmer planted corn & soybeans. He said,



"That was the funnest combine ride ever!"





-Peter Pan is a mighty 2nd grader & getting too big for his britches.



Just kidding!



Maybe.



He wants to wait for the bus by himself! No more mom! =(

Seriously, he is such an awesome kid! He is in LOVE with legos.



Oh. My. Word. Does he love them!

They are everywhere!





-Farmer is extra busy now that the leaves are starting to fall. Farming is slowing down now; he just got a load of beef feeders for next year's butcher and in a few weeks he'll be taking 12 hogs to the processor.

Unfortunately we did not go on vacation this year & is he ever missing his R & R! He is never able to fully relax unless we are MILES away from all his work. I hope he can hold out another year!



-At the beginning of July I was fortunate (insert sarcasm here) enough to experience the pain of plantar fasciitis in both feet. Oh the pain! I was pretty much out of commission for 2 months & I'm still not back to my old self.

The house is almost 100% finished. Remember the family room mess? And we had siding put on the house too.





So, I'm thinking hoping the Summer of Chaos is finally on the way out. And I'm left with some decisions to make.

I am SO craving calm, simplicity, organization...and I'm realizing how much work & discipline that is going to take- physically, mentally & spiritually.

Do I keep this little blog going or not? I really DON'T need to blog; we live 5 minutes away from most of our family. I'm not blogging to provide extra income. And there is always that little nagging in the back of mind to write a post.



But I do kind of like it. It could have great potential.



So.



Maybe I'll be back.



Or maybe I won't.



Who knows?



Because I sure don't!
