Alive and well...

Life outside the house? What's that? Oh...those first six weeks. I love'em...now. I feel overwhelmed with *life* at times, I so sympathize with my milk goat and the outdoors never looked so appealing...but I have this little creature the Lord so wonderfully blessed me with that needs me in the house. One thing that comes with having many children is you learn to savor those all-to-quickly-forgotten sleepless nights and the hours spent nursing. Elijah snuggles so sweetly and nursing is going so well I am relishing every moment with my ever changing little one. I swear, every morning he looks different and I have learned not to let these first weeks get the best of me, but rather enjoy them. I need to post more pictures.




His bump is staying the same, but everyone other than me says it is going down. I don't see it. Emma and Daniel have really stepped in. Every time the baby cries one of the two pick him up and rock him. Daniel especially, he is so good with Elijah, I never would have guessed.

Sorry again about the quiet blog, we have been so busy around here! We counted and have 62 animals right now with 60 chicks and a litter of puppies due in in the next couple weeks. Gotta love it.

Jennifer, Know that we LOVE the pics and would love even more, but we wouldn't want to steal one precious moment from you and these fleeting moments. I enjoy every post and picture and anecdote. Hugs and smooches from the other side of the county...~Marie
