Belated Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you all. Things are still crazy here but on the whole, improving. Saw this picture last night and thought you guys would think it’s funny. @Kiki

Hi folks! Things have been crazy here. It feels like everything is happening all at once. I’ve been diagnosed with an extremely overactive thyroid. Which is odd because I’m a good 50lbs overweight. I’m going through a bunch of tests now to figure out what is going on. We also finally got my...

Charlie, our new boar, got here safely. He was talking up a storm to the piglets and Jericho, our sow, wanted to get to him so bad. She has to wait until mid Dec. I don’t want February babies again.

@Grammy60 praying for you and @rjohns39. How are you both doing?

Hi folks! I’m still alive! Things have been crazy here. Still fostering the two foster boys, looking like it’s moving towards termination. We are most likely going to adopt if it comes to that. The 3 Things are all growing like weeds. The baby is now 2.5 😭. Lost my boar last week, he was...

The case hasn’t moved to termination of rights yet, but we’ll see. We are considering adopting if it comes to that. They are getting on as well as can be expected. Thing 2 is having the hardest time adjusting I think. We’ve seen a lot of improvement in behavior from our 6yo foster. He has the...

Yeah, we took them in back in September. They were coming to our church with their mom which J’s how we knew about them. We got approval in December. We still need to do some classes, but we have the rest of the year to do that. The boys are 18 months and 3 months older than Thing 1. But they...

@Kiki look at the previous post.

Hi folks! I’m still alive! Things are going well, but crazy busy. Things with the foster kids are going well, but as to be expected, there are problems at times. 5 weeks ago, I did something stupid and the Milk Drinker got hurt. I had him and Thing 2 in a Sam’s club cart. I stepped up on...

Oh. We also still have the foster boys. It is looking less and less like they will be reunified with their parents with everything that has happened and is happening. But, it’s still early days. The boys have only been in foster care for 4 months at this point.

Wow. I haven’t been around since the beginning of November when we had that boar turn up unexpectedly. Well, as i said, we did the first 10 of the 23 Cornish X we got around Thanksgiving. It was a fricken disaster. I forgot that I wanted to order a cone big enough for CX, but I didn’t. It made...

Hello folks! Merry belated Christmas and happy new year! I’ll give you guys a family update later but we FINALLY finished getting all our CornishX chickens butchered today. We butchered 10 of them around Thanksgiving but it took us this long to get the the rest. It was a gorgeous day to...

We weren’t set up to process the pig, it was too warm, and we had no freezer room. No one we knew wanted it either. I need to learn how to field dress larger animals.

Hey guys! Is there anything I missed in the 2 months I was gone? This thread seems pretty quiet. I know @Chickassan passed and someone’s cancer came back. Im not sure what else. Good news, I sold my first piggy today! I sold the little gilt from my one litter from 2/28. I’m hoping to buy a...

Oh, and I have a story about surprise keets, but sadly they suffered the same issue that their predecessors did and all passed away. Out of 20 Keets that hatched fr my guineas this year, only 1 lives. I think I’m ordering in new stock in the spring.

Hi everyone! Wow. It’s been 2 months since we took in the foster kids. It’s been a wild, crazy, frustrating, hard ride. At times it feels like things aren’t working and we’re just bashing our heads against the wall but other times things are good. It’s a really big change. It’s so much harder...

DH and I talked about fostering before we even got married. We were thinking about entering the system when our bio kids were older, but these are kids we know through church and their mother was fine with us taking them. They also had to separate the boys. So for a situation like this where...

We’ll we are down to 2 Keets and up to 5 boys. The two foster kids were dropped off before dinner. They are brothers. They are 1.5 years and 3 months older than Thing 1. The older boys are really excited. It was hard to get them in bed. Thing 1 has latched onto the older boy and Thing 2 has...

Hi folks, Well, we’ve had an interesting week. DH started a program for free college through a partnership with our church governing body. His desktop died a few weeks ago and he’s been using an old laptop his grandmother gave us since she can’t really see anymore. Between our slow internet and...
