Another day in the crazy house....

Well, off to a bit of a slow start on keeping with my gaol of blogging more..but hey, nobody's perfect right?! We are all doing well, except for some sniffles and sneezes, and enjoying our unseasonably warm weather. We have been in the hi 40's to mid 50's the past few weeks, finally getting about 2 inches of snow over the weekend.
It has been nice, but we deperately need the moisture. We pray for those who live in the NE, their weather has been awful. So since my last post, we lost one of our hens. It was MC Chicken Bat, she was "eggbound" and we actually were going to put her out, so as not to suffer, but she passed away quietly on her own. It was a little sad, she is one of the original chicks we bought almost 3 years ago. We now have 4 left, but as i mentioned in the last post, we will be rotating the flock in a couple months. It is always so fun to go pick out the newest additions, although saying good-bye to our others is a little hard. Our rabbits seem to be getting along well. One of our does had gotten mastitis after Christmas and I had to step up to the plate as family vet. I had to give her Pennicillin injections each day for about a week. It worked and she seems healthy. We are hoping they both arepregnant...we'll see. The kids are doing well in school and have made some great improvements, especially in math. We swtiched to Saxon math curriculum, it is highly rated, and they have taken to it well. We keep rather busy, we love to letterbox any chance we can get, and Jake and Andrew have become quite the Frisbee golfers. I look forward to the spring though, i am anxious to get my garden in and continue striving to be more self-reliant. I am currently dehyrating banana slices, and tonight we will be pressure canning our infamous salsa! It is fun to learn new things!! Well hope everyone is well. Until next time......
