It's been a while...

...so I'm going to attempt to update on lots of different things.

Foster Care is still in the works. We are literally weeks away from knowing if we will be certified. We've had some interesting moments along the way, none of which I will share publicly, but would be happy to share privately if you wish.

Our summer vegetable/herb garden is growing well. I wish we could have started it earlier, but it's doing well despite the rain and late planting.

We recently invested in a cow share from a local farm. Meet Sandy─the cow we have part ownership in. She makes us GREAT milk. If you're interested in getting raw milk of your own, check out the following web links:

Where to find it in your area

We took a wonderful trip out to the farm where Sandy, our milk cow, lives. It was a wonderful afternoon. I'll share pictures with you soon. We're hoping to learn from them so we can start our own farm someday!

Also on the docket for us is a possible move out of town. We currently live on base and we're hoping to find somewhere out in the country we can spread out and have our own space. We're looking feverishly to find something that suits our needs.

Summer months include lots of camping and fishing, lots of weed pulling, and hopefully lots of pool time to balance it all out. I'm looking forward to a break from the "books" and going for more of an unschooling approach to our sunny months. Hopefully we can get something done. We've already learned how to make our own butter.  ☺

Blessings to your home!
