Today would've been my dads 84th bday. I think I might splurge & take the kids out to celebrate at Baskin Robbins. My dad loved, loved, LOVED ice cream. Happy Birthday dad! Gone from my sight, but never forgotten.

I made the most delicious venison soup over the weekend! Hubby got a nice 8-point. Our first time paying to have the meat processed instead of us doing it.

Love it! Your life sounds just wonderful! Its great how you described it too! I'm with you, I just love chickens, etc. I'd have more, but I can't where I live. Although, I do have quite the menagerie, If I say so myself!

Thanks for sharing.

Awesome! I guess there are worse addictions in life, right?

Love that avatar, by the way

So we had a Drs appointment this morning. My efforts to be MikeBaxter2.0 have been foiled. We are going to have a third child, but found out that the trend is over. #3 is a little boy! Due around New Years!

Happy Tadpole.

excellent to hear from you! Do you get to play with the baby even with that cough?

Wednesday we decided I would as ok to start holding him again. The cough isn’t a bad cropping type of cough, just seem to have any itchy throat too often.

Thanks! How long have you had the cough for? DD is on day 10 for the cough & it still sounds awful. Congrats on your wonderful farmbaby! I missed the pictures (hint. hint.)

Thanks! It’s about 2 weeks now since I started feeling sick. The long work hours don’t help, I’m sure. Oh well.

I think this is my favorite one of him so far!

I hurt with every cell in my body right now.... i don't want to go on. But please understand i want it to stop

Phil, my friend, I really don't have any words beyond what all the others have already said so well.

I've been pretty much offline since Saturday; son came in & we've been hunting hard ever since. This morning was the first I knew about any of this.

Hang in there, Phil. You're strong; you'll work your way through this with faith & the knowlege that He has your back & won't give you more than you can handle.

Our thoughts and prayers are certainly with you.
God bless & keep you.
