I sure hope things improve! I've never had a refrigerator door fall off.

Yep, it was a first for us too. With the amount of things that have bottles this month all we could do was laugh.

So a small update. Things going ok here. Roof was finally put on, still waiting on mortgage company to send back the check they had to sign so I can pay the roofing company, then wait on home owners insurance company to release the second part of the check so I can pay the roofing company. Such a hassle.
Homeschooling is still homeschooling lol.
Yesterday was @mrs.mystang89 and mine anniversary. God be forever praised for bringing us together, blessing is with 8 children and giving us so much more than we deserve!
We went out for our anniversary horseback riding. It was our first time and very enjoyable. It made us decide that we wanted our children and anyone who came over, along with ourselves of course, to be able to ride whenever. Now we're looking into getting a horse but have plenty of questions and many things to learn. Many questions have been posted in the house feed section of anyone wants to take a look. The plan is to wait till spring and see what our hay situation is with the sheep to see if we can sustain having a horse as well. Time will tell.

I have 4, 2 are retired old seniors, ages 30 and 32. They have earned their places. I love to ride and just hang out and spend time with my horses. Your children will benefit from having a horse. Only thing is, one won't be enough. I always say horses are a hole in my pocket that I dump money into.

I've been reminded that it's been a while since I've updated this. Since it's winter, there has been and will remain very little updates.
However, for now this is what's new. Winter whether has hit and the fire place has been started. Fortunately, a very generous tree company has been dropping of MANY loads of wood for me and it looks now that we'll have plenty of wood for the season.
Homeschooling is consuming most of my time but we've got into routine and are just plowing through it.
I tried tilling the garden few weeks ago but I think I need to change the oil in the tiller, it seems to be on the fritz too.
Health is good for everyone. We made some elderberry syrup for the first time from our elderberry bushes and have been trying to drink about a tbsp a day.
My life loving wife, @mrs.mystang89 , is once again pregnant. God has been so kind as to bless us with our 9th child developing in her womb. He/she should be here in the summer. It'll be very difficult money wise but Providence has always provided, can provide, and will provide.
Many different projects are in the making for the summer, it'll be busy. We'll be making a lean to for the hay equipment, trying to fix the spring house, repairing the mowers and tillers, garden, new child and more I'm sure will come. Lots to keep us out of trouble.

Good to hear all are well there! Sounds like your
home schooling will be handling kindergarten through high school before long. Congrats on the new addition! You will need a large garden.....you have helpers, teach them grow food.
Winter has all of us in some state of disarray at times. But often there are days to just muddle along. Enjoy them.

Won't be long. So far I have kindergarten, 1st, 3rd, 5th, 6th and 7th. Will be adding another next year I think
I just kinda go numb to it. If I don't think about it, it never happened
Worse thing about winter is it's cold. Other than that, I just hibernate and make plans for spring... And babies for summer!
Garden will definitely need to be well tended this year. Hopefully we'll have some drenching hoses this year and be able to give it some good watering.
Forgot to mention we had 3 of the new chickens drown. We have a 55 gap water I never have put a lid on cause I haven't needed to. Came to check on them a few days ago and 3 had roosted on it or something and fallen in. Darwinism at it's greatest. They were the prettiest of the bunch too. Lavender orphinton and a wyondote. Dumb things. Always the prettiest who seem the dumbest. Just look at @mrs.mystang89 , prettiest thing in the world......
