Monday was filled with kidding on the farm with two does kidding AT THE SAME TIME! A first for us! Read more detail on Jenna's blog at the above link.
This is always such a busy time with extra clutter around the farmhouse kitchen and babies bleating in the mudroom, but a great opportunity to put into practice all those thoughts of gratitude, capturing the moments, engraving memories into the heart, and mothering with patience, not pessimism.
So how did I do? It's just a little funny that my kiddos thought the day was difficult for everyone. By dinner time, obedience was non-existent for some (which raises the frustration level on momma's part), all were tired, and offenses against one another were adding up.
"But now ye also put off all these; anger, wrath, malice, blasphemy, filthy communication out of your mouth."
Colossians3:8
Here's our chance! If you find that you have failed in this area, confess your sin and go to your children...ask their forgiveness! Purpose to walk in the Spirit, blessing one another and encouraging one another.

Kidding season is so exciting-- in an out-of-breath, mildly stressed out sort of way! I love it. :)
Our girls are due to kid in the next few weeks. I can't wait.
Thanks for sharing this post at the Homestead Barn Hop! Hope to see you again next week!
What fun!
I know it must be an exciting time, esp. for the children to be a part of.
love that header photo:)
How exciting!! I loved the video - if it wasn't late here I'd have grabbed the kids to come & watch. We've never seen an animal birth - our sheep always do it during the night & we wake up to lambs in the morning.
Thanks also for sharing that verse - one I need to memorise for those frustrating times of mothering!
Have a great day

Hello Mrs. Regan!
Thank-you for your comment. Mom and I talk about you all every once in a while. We always thought how fun it would be to meet you and the rest of your family someday! We seem to have a lot in common.
You're in my prayers,
Kelsey
