Soooo, it's been a REALLY long time!!! Here is a quick catch up.

Yes, we killed the rooster and had a lovely coc a vin. The buff chicks are all laying beautiful eggs now.
Son two turned 6! I turned... well never mind.
I landed in L&D with preterm labor at 26 weeks, things settled down and I went home. Diagnosed mild gestational diabetes at 28 weeks. Landed back in L&D at 31.5 weeks and stayed there for a while as they worked to stop labor again. Those steroid shots REALLY mess with your blood sugar! Diagnosis of pre eclampsia and failing placenta at 36.5 weeks.

And one last trip to labor and delivery at 37 weeks and 6 days, an induction for pre-eclampsia. After a labor as long as all of my other labors combined, and shoulders that got stuck, in the wee hours of morning, July 13th, Zachariah (my fourth son ) joined us earthside!  God is so gracious!

 And then we actually got to take him home!!!!

Son three turned 3!

We started our school year. I now teach third grade, first grade, and pre-K.
Our garden was a moderate success until some beetles decided it looked like a smorgasbord!!!
We celebrated our anniversary in Big Bear.
We finally were able to bury Providence, a daughter I/we lost in 2009.
I bought new hiking boots!!!! and started hiking again.
We had a happy Halloween.

AND,
We went camping at the coast.

I promise to try to be better with this blogging thing in the future! :)
