We are halfway through July already...time is flying ever faster.
Jubilee is in a bright pink cast. She broke her arm jumping off the couch while I was at Bible Study last Tuesday.Holding her arm for x-rays and feeling the bone shift was terrible.She didn't cry at all, never needed any pain meds. Just like Christian when he broke his leg.It is uncanny how stoic they are, and I see that they get it from me, but I am not sure I like that. If they hurt I want them to express it, and not feeling pain when your body is broken is not really a good thing.
We have been floating on the Illinois river twice so far, and will no doubt go again. It is a thrill to me, even with being stage 1(no rapids). The kids love it. Brian and I will likely be the old couple going every day after we are empty nesters lol.
Bella is doing good since the colic incident. Hans is recovering from a recluse bite.All the other animals are doing well. It is super hot, so chores are doubled, but it is peaceful.
I put dreads in for Emily and Anthony. They both look great, but I am not sure either will keep them. There is alot of maintenance the first year with dreads. Mine are still coming on well. Not pretty yet, but I am able to see that they will be!
I am printing out our first months worksheets. We are going to do a new schedule, and I am excited about it. This is shaping up to be our best year yet!
Sooo tired lately. I am waiting until Wednesday to take a pregnancy test. I am very hopeful that we will be further blessed. The children have been requesting from us and praying to God for a new baby. It makes my heart sing to know that they see babies as a blessing, and do not feel burdened by our large family.
