It has been awhile since we put out a video. We really would like to make more of them to document the types of things we are working on but usually we are too tired. 🙂 Anyway, enjoy!

postcards : like babies

Last week Joshua slept for longer than ten minutes without Mama’s arms around him. I then found these little ladies snoozing peacefully in their beds. Neither of these rarest of occasions has repeated itself, making the photographic evidence even more precious.

My Homeschool Education

I spent the morning moving between the kitchen table, little Ruthie by my side with an open first-grade book, and the sofa, under  a blanket and a stack of school papers. Peppered throughout these hours are a continual stream of “Where’s Hannah?” (unless she’s in my lap) and “Hey Joshie, could you try to be…

End of Year Postcards

Stewart planted loads of garlic this year. It went in late, to be sure, but because we could find no onions to plant, we planted plenty. This little ma’am is nearing the five month mark.  Are my children the only ones who put everything into a bowl with milk and call it cereal? We now…

Postcards: Three Weeks

These are blurry days, these first couple of months with a new little one. We’re just getting back into some school and some homesteading stuff three weeks in as a family of eight. And somehow I ended up with only these pictures – and none of baby Hannah – on my camera card. So Stewart…

  20. That was beautiful. Your children are so into living on the land, its wonderful to see the boys building, measuring and working so hard and the little ladies are just too cute. Bless your gorgeous family. xxx

  21. So beautiful!! Amazing that your young sons already know how to mix cement and “plant” fence posts! So much more useful than knowing how to play video games as most kids do. Bless you guys!!

  22. Love the video! Thank you for sharing.
    It may or may not be helpful, but every wooden fence post installed on our four acres was done a bit differently… The holes were dug then the post placed exactly as it was to stand. I held the post as my husband poured dry cement mix into the hole and tamped it down to pack it around the post. Moisture from the surrounding ground usually set the cement overnight. They are still tight and standing strong after 22 years.
