Hi family,
Been a bit since I have updated y'all on our triumphs and tribulations since moving to this ranch/farm. What can I say, I love it here! We have now successfully greened up all around the house and husband got to try out his new/used riding mower! WE HAVE LAWN!!! For the first time in years! I love it!
Yesterday we went and got 2 Boer Goats that are both "with kid/kids?". Puddles and Blondie. They are just too cute for words. Puddles is a little friendlier than Blondie, but she is coming around. The cool thing is, they both LOVE Aly and Jayme. They follow them around the pasture, it is so adorable!!
Tomorrow we are hoping to go get a little 17 yo Arabian Mare named Aspen. My sister is coming with me since she is THE HORSE LADY around these parts. I am so excited. Aspen is super gentle and easy around kids. Only 14.2 hands high so a good size for the kids, and me too!
And...the best news yet, I am down 3, count them, 3 pants sizes!!! I just got back from WalMart with 2 new pairs of jeans and am feeling GREAT!! I haven't been this size in so many years! Still need so get walking and keep watching my diet, but boy does this feel good!!! Oh, and I just bought my first Cow Girl Boots!! Fat Baby's and they are so comfy and sooo cute!! Wearing them right now to break them in, but they already feel wonderful!!
Aly is settling into her new school. Still having alot of anxiety and is not in her Gen Ed class very much. She is with the Resource teacher most of her day. Her IEP is next Monday and I am not nearly ready for it. husband finally got our other computer up here, just waiting for him to set it up so I can do an agenda and update her parent report.
Still waiting for an opening in the Head Start preschool for Jayme, but in the meantime she has in home tutoring 1 1/2 hours a week with an awesome teacher. Jayme has taken to this life so well, she just loves to run out and play with the goats and I know she will LOVE the horse!!!
husband and I are doing better. Things are still strained, but we are here, living together and slowly talking about our issues. I think once we are totally moved out of the other house, it will be much less stressful for all of us.
Anyways, just an update on us here at "Green Acres", LOL!!
Hugs,
Vickie
