The weather is beautiful - cool, peaceful fall days. Life is going good by God's grace! Here are just a few pictures from around the ranch and life right now.
Well, it's been a couple months since I blogged on here...and even longer than that since I blogged on a regular basis, as I had been.
It's been a crazy few months around here.
Being involved in politics has taken me many different places. It's brought new things into my life. And I've had to deal with things I never would have thought I would be involved in. But, it's been great and I wouldn't change anything.
One of those experiences was a trip to the Republican National Convention in Tampa the end of August. Because of certain circumstances and the work I was doing, I was in Florida for 2 weeks from around the 20th of August until September 1st. It was the most exhausting two weeks of my life. It was filled with lots of stress & tears, yet balanced with much laughter and an encouraging time with my fellow liberty delegates & supporters.
Because so much went on while I was in Tampa, I won't share it all here. But, if you're curious to read about it, you can check out my political blog (I wrote 6 posts regarding Tampa ;)) here.
I am still here and alive. I'm sorry for such a long time in blog posts. My life has had a lot of interesting, amazing, crazy things go on in the last 2 months since I last wrote a blog post on here.
Honestly, I have not been keeping up with all the latest going on in the world of Down syndrome, since there have been other pressing matters.
There's a lot going on around the ranch of course. Baby animals of all kinds. Ducklings, chicks, baby goats, calves, lambs, baby bunnies and so much more. And of course new additions like llamas, ponies, sheep, goats & cows.
Here's a few pictures from around the ranch.
Ranch life has been popping with lots of new life the last couple months.
There's baby chicks....
Blogging has been on the back burner so far this year. But, I thought I'd pop in here and share a cute little story about O. He's quite the character and seems to do more and more funny things the older he gets :).
Today we were doing flash cards. O has the hardest time remembering the two letter words we read, “in”, “it”, and “is”, but he can remember 4 or 5 letter words so easily (kind of a weird puzzle there!)!
Anyways, we got to the flash card with the word “in” on it and he had no idea. After trying to remind him, make him think and focus, and he still didn't remember, I told him the word was “in.” O replied with "oohh", with the tone of an "oh duh" kind of response :). I said “you always forget that one.” Being the silly boy that he is, O, as he made a funny face and was pointing to his head, said “need to get it in my brain!” Hahaha! We all were laughing at him.
He then proceeded to tell me he needed to get some other words “in his brain” as we went along with the cards, since we all laughed at that statement.
O comes up with some of the quickest, most hilarious statements sometimes! Such a blessing!
There are statements probably every day that I could share from him!

Breaking the blogging-hiatus for a moment here :).
Jenny Marrs, who I have shared articles from before, wrote me the beginning of March and said the following:
Hello all my blog followers! There haven't been any posts for about a month now...wow. Time flies. Life gets busy. And sometimes blogging gets put on the back burner.
This pretty much sums up the last month:
Ranch Life...lots of new babies
Political campaigning
Family Life
Website design jobs
That has left little time for blogging. Or should I say, I haven't wanted to take the time to blog, since the other stuff has taken up enough of my time!
Hopefully things will slow down some here and I can start regularly blogging again. I have lots of yummy recipes to blog and lots more. If I can just get a day or two where I can put some scheduled posts together, that'd be great :).
Lord willing that'll be sooner rather than later!
Just wanted to say "Hi" real quickly!
