Luke has been working hard farming and making great videos for you and I have been working hard growing baby number 8 and I just haven’t gotten the videos on here for you!

So you get 2 at once today!

The baby should be arriving the end of January and I’m looking forward to it being a quiet time of year where I can just hang out by the fireplace with our new bundle and recover.

The growing bump for your enjoyment:

Our four wheeler was broken for a while and we jokingly called the extra work his CrossFit routine, haha!

But in all seriousness, the work he has been doing this last year has been great for him. He’s had to take his belt in 2 notches and has gotten stronger!

We are 2/3 of the way stocked up on hay for the winter!!!

It has been a huge blessing that Luke was able to find all the equipment we needed and keep it running.

There has definitely been broken down days and once Luke exclaimed,

“Can I just go ONE day without having any equipment break on me?!”

But being a “professional shade tree mechanic” he has it all working at the moment and has learned to navigate a lot of the quirks of our 35-80 year old haying equipment.

But I am SO grateful it is looking like we will be able to make all the hay we need this year.

Which is really good because with the droughts and high gas prices this year the hay prices are more than we would be able to afford for as many cows as we have.

But don’t worry cows, we’re stocking up grass for you!
