We culled old bulls and cows yesterday.

We were able to head to visit Andrew’s family and celebrate some August and September birthdays.  Lucy was also able to meet and be held by Great Grandma Arleen!

Grandpa has been baling straw and he found a load of straw too!

Precious time is flying by… amazing to think 1 month ago we welcomed this beautiful gift!

Off to Mass.

(My prayer this Sunday is that my daughters, possible granddaughters, and great-granddaughters, and so forth, may always live in a country where they are loved, respected, and looked upon lovingly as daughters of God. My heart hurts for those infant baby girls, girls, and women who suffer around the world.)

Today we rounded up a cow/calf pair and a bull.

The curriculum I ordered for Ignatius came in yesterday, so we were able to start today!

We are grateful that my uncle offered to sell us his wheat straw.  The total amount looks bleak… we’ll be lucky to have 25 bales off a 150 acre field.

We were blessed by a visit by a gentle soul yesterday!

Andrew and the 4 oldest were able to squeeze in a Youth Rodeo as summer comes to an end and school begins.  They all enjoyed the day…From goat tail untying to mutton busting to stick horse poles and barrels, each child had their favorite rodeo memory.
