Big snow

Biggest snow in 30 years!! And today it was -4!! Brutal cold. Been at home since Friday. Co-op cancelled for second week in a row. 

Raven in the snow

Here are few fun videos of Raven in the snow yesterday. We had eight inches!

Snow storm!

We were supposed to have a snowstorm last weekend, and while we did get some ice, we got barely any snow. That is not the case one weekend later. We need to go out and measure, but I would guess we've had close to 8 inches of snow? Here's what it looked like this morning after snowing for about 12 hours:

 

And here is a video of our sheep. We rarely do hay, but the snow forced our hand on this one. 

My Abigail

This was my Abigail. I remember being so confused by how clingy she was, but I am so glad I got a hold of a good book (The Highly Sensitive Child) and John helped me to see how important it was to just let her be who she is! She is barely a remnant of that shy little girl! Oh how I miss her clinging to my leg. 

My best friend turns 50!

 

My husband is truly the greatest man I know. I am so incredibly blessed that he chose me. That he fought for me (when I wasn't sure I wanted to marry him!) and that he loves me without end. 

We have been in a hard place off-an-on during the last two years as I have been healing and retraining my brain. It has been harder than infertility, our home renovation, living overseas, four children ... you name it. Hardest thing we've ever done. 

But he's been a HUGE part of my healing. I have learned about coregulation (needing another person to help settle your system) with my husband and have been teaching my children the same thing! So much good is coming out of this journey. 

And today, my husband turns 5-0! FIFTY? How is that even possible?! 

I love you I love you I love you I love you John Mark. Happy birthday!
