Reflections
I've been reflecting on the changes we've been through this last year. It is so numerous that I don't have time to write it all down, but I do have a few jotted down to share with you.
Its almost been a whole year since we've come back to Magnolia. We have some chickens for eggs, but not nearly as many as we had before. The friend we gave our goats to gave us Princess back pregnant. Yay! That means milk, cheese and yogurt for us. We've had the joy of watching Princess kid and now watching the kid grow. Its always so fun watching the little frisky kid be a kid. We were given a dog to guard the chickens. Shortly after moving back, the children discovered a litter of newborn kittens under our trailer. We kept a beautiful orange striped, male kitten that we named, Tiger.
Tiger is stalking a bumblebee.
I seriously need to update our cover photo on the top of this blog. The children have grown by leaps & bounds in so many ways. It is the last family photo we have and Rosie is roughly the age of Natalie now. Rosie will soon be 3. Yikes! I need to get a family photo asap. Natalie is a littler goer at 7 months next week. She's already eating, crawling, sitting up and pulling herself up to a standing position. I hope to get a new family photo soon.
Here's little Natalie just last Sunday.
We started our 2014-2015 school year this week. We're looking forward to a great school year.

| Richard set his math book down for a minute and Natalie came racing to it. As soon as she laid hand on it, she squealed with delight. |
