I havent been updating the blog for almost a year. Life gets in the way sometimes. Id be lying if I said nothing much has been happening. I believe my last post was somewhere around august of 2010. I dont even know where to begin. Things have been kinda overwhelming for quite sometime. In a nutshell, heres a summation of 10 months in about 10 minutes...
Since August, lots of Dr appts and tests for my husband. We were going to some Dr or having some lab drawn seems every "days off". That had eased up a bit, however it is about to pick back up as he starts his treatment.
Lots of babies born on the farm. We have had several months of just nonstop babies hitting the ground. we had 7 calves, 3 kids, 12 goslings, 24 chicks, 5 ducklings, and 9 lambs. That is something that always makes ya happy :)
After several wild and crazy years, Harley adopted Dakota. It has really been a good thing for both of them. Since Harley decided to adopt Dakota, there has been a substantial change in Dakota and his behavior (for the better). He is so proud of Harley and likewise, Harley is so proud of him. It is great. Dakota got academic and mathmatic honors this year and he received commended scores on science, social studies, and reading on the TAKS test. Way to go Dakota SCANLON!
On many levels the 2 of them are exactly alike. Im not convinced that Dakota is somehow secretly Harleys biological child. They are too much alike in every way.
Kenzie is now a teenager!! OMG She finished 10th in her class this year. She would have been higher if BOYS hadnt clogged her brain this year. Shes beautiful, but luckily the boys are afraid of Harley! lol
We adopted Floyd out to a new home. I wouldnt have let him go anywhere else. He is a great dog and has a wonderful home with my dear friend Nicole. He has a large yard he can run around in and loves the kids. It was a perfect fit. I miss him :( but I know hes happy :)
March brought along with it my dad falling ill. He was moved to Texas on our property so he could be taken care of. He is doing considerably better now. That is kind of interesting having my mother on one side of us and having him on the other.
We are dying here with no rain. The pastures are burning up. We get chances of rain, and somehow it always seems to rain everywhere but where we are. It will make for a hard winter with hay. But all is not lost. I still have faith.
My mom is doing much better than she was. She still has some issues that the Dr has to figure out, but all in all shes doing much better.
My mother in law is up and down with her battle against the myeloma. Just as soon as she makes a miraculous recovery, something else happens. I dont even know where to start with that one.
I had the surgery on my left hand in April. Im so thankful. Now I dont have the issues with the carpal tunnel anymore. I can use both hands without the pain and numbness. I had a wonderful Dr at Baylor! I have most of the strength back in my left hand now. So both are almost back to normal. It is great.
Through it all one thing has been a constant, or faith in God. He always provides and pulls us through.
