Early riser

It amazes me sometimes, how difficult it can be for us to adapt to this new life. Some things come easily, while others are elusive. Some things are all the same when you get down to it. The commonality is there, it's just hidden under our own comfort or an inability to adapt.

 

We are definitely learning all about adapting. Some days we are more graceful than others.

 

The progress on our new home has putted along, and has been an entirely new challenge in patience and grace.

 

The kids have gotten used to playing in the horse through outside the house, while they wait for us to make plans, and check on the progress.

 ... Ryan has been filling in where he can, and today it was to haul sand again. I am sure it is like last year at this time, hauling grain to the river all day, only now the scenery is better and the equipment is a little higher maintenance.

The kids are all doing well, and most all of the colds have past.

Ryan is continuing to work around the injury on his hand and to get out of doing the dishes, but the laundry is still one of his many talents!

 

We are glad to be working together on whatever we can, and trading off with chores and children at home. We are back into schooling every day, and working our way up in attention spans and patience.

Jacob has had a few lessons in riding a motorcycle, and is encouraging Josh to catch up to him with his excitment. Audrey is enjoying all the new faces and places, but from a safe distance.

I am glad you had time to read up and hope to keep you posted again soon.

Thanks for keeping tabs on us, and keeping us in your thoughts and prayers!
