Last night after supper I was holding our new child when John and Noah came over and sat down with us. The boys took it apon themselves to “teach stuff” to their new brother. It was such a blessing to watch. It took quite a while for them to explain all they have […]
Here is a picture of the lad on the day he was born. I’m having trouble putting pictures up here, sorry it isn’t bigger. I’ll be working at getting a few more on soon.
Sorry I’ve been so long without any updates.
This morning at 11:31, after 36 hours of labor, Leah gave birth to our son. Soon after he was born, I had to head back to the barn to try to catch up on chores. I’m just now getting in. We have named him Isaiah […]
We are still hanging in there. Leah is now 3 cm and totaly ephased. I’m going to sleep for a little bit. Perhaps by morning……stay tuned.

Leah started labor at about 11:00 last night. We are getting the last things ready. She hasn’t called the midwife yet, but will soon. I just got back from early morning chores and started a fire to take the chill of the house. I’ll have to scoot back and feed the […]
This morning at 4 o’clock, Little John and I headed off to start the morning chores. I tapped John on the shoulder a few times and told him we needed to get going. He got up right away and wiped the sleep from his eyes, got dressed, put on his rubber boots and […]
