Alot has happened in the last 4 months. We've been so busy between my driving for a living, moving into our house, and everything else in-between.
Elizabeth Ann is still healthy with our child. Everyone save a lone individual is certain that the gender is male. We'll see coming the first week of May or so.
Elizabeth is eagerly looking forward to her homebirth.
It seems that aside from one weeks break, all of my weeks driving have been spent going to Pennsylvania. Ordinarily I would enjoy this, but the routine has become less than pleasant due to weather and rushing to get home by the weekend.
It looks like I'll be able to leave driving in another month. I'm hoping that I'll be able to finish by April 16th so that when I have to go renew my license I can have it changed to a civilian license instead of commercial. That way I won't be able to go back to driving.
I'll be staying home to watch our child. It's not the way we prefer things to be, but being the first generation to convert requires us to make some sacrifices as our name's first plain family.
My sons will not be put in this situation as they will have learned a trade before they marry.
I have so much to tell about woodworking news that I am disappointed that I can't even leave a teaser! It would leave to many questions!
Bottom line is that I've made many new and good connections and have also acquired many new books and tools. I will try so hard to keep an inventory for this blog once I am home fulltime.
This blog will be much more active once I am home.
I am very encouraged that I will have a two car garage to use as my woodworking shop. It will have all the room I'll need for anything I pursue.
Elizabeth and I are not your typical plain people. I think as the blog goes along you will learn more about that.
Just one unique example, Elizabeth and I both believe that through proper diet that the body is able to restore health to the teeth.
We'll explain how and tell you about our discoveries/realizations as we have them.
Elizabeth will be making some bone broth pretty soon, I'll try to get a blog entry out of it. The idea is to use the marrow to strengthen your own bones.
There is much more to strengthening your teeth than this, but it is one example of a much greater picture.
Orchard!
Our property has .8 of an acre. It's not alot but it is plenty of room to have a small orchard. Something great for us is that it already has a fruit bearing peach tree! We've not yet decided on what trees we will have but we will need to decide soon as the time to make an order has come!
A small update on our chickens. We've still got only two, both of which molted and are no longer producing eggs. Once I am home fulltime and we can let them out of the coop more, we will see if they resume laying eggs. If they don't, then their fate becomes questionable as chickens are not intended to be pets for anyone but children.
We'll post some pictures of them, they are both very fat now and could use some good sunlight.
We apologize for the absence of photos on our blog, it's not out of principal but rather that most times we are updating our blog from our cell phones which often causes us trouble. We have many photos we'd like to upload and will in due time once we figure out how to reliably.
Lord Bless!
I've got several ideas for topics of theological discussion that I'd like to touch on. Once again, that may be a while. We'll see
