Just a Quick Update...

Ethan, Madeleine, and Robbie all had some sort of stomach illness that lasted (between the three of them) about 12 days, but everyone is well now. I would think it was over, then someone else would throw up... it was yucky. I hate watching my babies suffer and not be able to make the problem go away quickly. I was thankful that at least there weren't any fevers, achiness, or other usual flu symptoms. Just throwing up and loose stool. Yeah, I know, gross. Before that illness came on I was keeping busy with our new baby, selling books on Amazon, trying to sell sheep, making meals, cleaning, making cards, etc.. I sold Oscar, which was good. His new owners were pretty excited to have a new llama and I'm pretty sure he's going to get spoiled over there!

Anyway, here are some photos from the past couple of weeks (mostly of Elizabeth):

Robbie

I had to take a picture of this; Robbie getting into marshmallows. Of course he wasn't allowed to be doing that, but it was so funny looking - a big handful of marshmallows in his little arms, I just had to get a picture!

Elizabeth today.

Yesterday and Today

Yesterday, I spent a good portion of the day outside with my family. I had a good time getting to know one of our new brindle calves (still unnamed), helping with farm chores, and just being out in the sunshine. The calf I mentioned a moment ago is already doing great with the commands, "Giddup", "Whoa", and "Back". I had a good time walking him around our yard. He seemed to like me and I like just about anyone/anything that likes me, so we're good buds now. For some reason he was very curious about my jacket. He sniffed it thoroughly every time he got a chance. I kept wondering if maybe he smelled the bits of hay I was unable to clean out of my pockets or what! It was very cute, though.

My hubby is gone again on a business trip, but will be back in less than a week. I seem to miss him more each time he is gone. Still, I'm thankful he has work, especially in times like these when everyone knows multiple people who have or are about to lose their job. To avoid thinking about missing him I plan on taking this day and just having a good, relaxing, crafty day. I entered one of my cards in an online challenge the other day to see how many comments I get. Whoever get the most or the second most comments wins a prize (rubber stamps). I plan on entering something else in the challenge today (an Origami box I plan on making today). Here's the card already entered: Click Here. Most likely I won't even come close to winning, but it's fun trying anyway! :)

Well, I hope everyone is having a great week! I'm going to try to post a couple of more times this week. I have pictures I've wanted to share with all of you, but have to remember to bring my camera upstairs first.
