I think this has to be one of my new favorite pics. Not because I think the color is good or because it is centered or any of that technical garbage but because it just sums up how I feel about life right now.
Being a city girl and growing up in many different places I never would have dreamed of being around so many farm animals now in my life. It has been quite a learning curve for the farmer's wife but one that I have enjoyed learning and have embraced.
I knew I would always have boys. I love them and I love how rough and tough they are. But when I dreamed of being a mom of a little girl, I always dreamed of barbie dolls and dresses and tea parties. Never did I dream of rubber boots, play clothes and pigs for her. But you know what? She loves it!
So as I sit back in amazement of how my life has turned out I am happy to say that I have a whole lot more thinks to be thankful than I ever imagined. This farm has added so much to our lives and while it has been a struggle to keep going at times I would not have traded these experiences for anything.
Just a few of my things I am thankful for:
My kids have play clothes and know how to have a good time outside.
My kids have a good pair of boots for town, and a pair of rubber boots for outside play and work.
My kids know the importance of taking care of an animal and how to treat one with respect.
My kids know where their foods come from.
My oldest son has calluses on his hands because he loves to be outside helping with the farm.
My kids own at least one animal on the farm that they care for.
My kids have shown goats and turkeys this year and had a great time.
My kids are healthy and happy because they just get to be good ole country kids.
My list could go on and on but I think you get the point. So when you are feeling down and out just come for a visit. We will introduce you to some of the greatest kids on earth and some of the coolest farm animals around!
