September?

Where did September go? Oh yes, we added our second daughter to the clan! Sept. 23rd we welcomed Jaelynn Dora Cottle to our little family and due to the end of pregnancy woes and newborn bliss I failed to update the blog. Many apologies for this, but I will update now.

September marked the beginning of school for our two oldest boys and a new project for Dad. As most of our readers know, we have been in the long process of building our home here on the ranch. It has taken 3.5 years so far and we have yet to finish it. But, this year, as we paid off our outstanding debt on construction thus far, we began working on it again. Projects for Sept. included building our "school room".
Although it is already messy and well used, you can see we have the media corner, curriculum shelves, 2 desk areas, and a large work cabinet area. This project is half complete but I think you can see the wonderful work of my husband who has never made a cabinet in his life before now! The cedar is gorgeous and he did professional quality work in my opinion!

September also ended our daily garden gathering and veggie processing. We were wonderfully blessed and have a freezer full of veggies for the winter. We were also able to stock Granny and Pop's freezer and send veggies to other loved ones.

And that my friends covers September. Stay tuned for November and maybe it won't be a month late!
