My busy season with life, gardening andToby Mac(not the singer, our new baby)

As if I am not busy enough life has to throw another curve at me (at least this time it's a cute curve). All you who used to follow my blog and used to sub to it, please, come back. I promise I'll be better. I really like blogging and have a lot to write about. It's just that I don't have my priorities straight most of the time.
For those of you who followed our life, the move from KY to AL last year in August, then the move from AL to AR in December, then the move from the RV to a real house January 31st had a really strong impact on my sanity. No, I'm not on Lexipro ;)
Then my husband suggests I try real estate (I guess he thinks I am bored silly at home now that I don't homeschool 4 kids) and I plunge into a 3 weekend long classes with an exam finally scheduled for Tuesday, next week. In the midst of the whole whirl wind he decides it's time for us to have a a new baby. No, we didn't plan on a baby. It just sort of happened. You know, you can't really don't have control when it comes to having a baby. I couldn't protest because I really like babies. But now, in the middle of it all? 

He is the cutest little stinker, who just couldn't get named because 6 members of the family couldn't agree on one name. He now has a middle name too. Oh, we tried Flash, Gibbs (the guy with the attitude in NCIS), Jelly bean, Clusoe, Bear (he looks like a polar bear now). I think we all like Toby Mac! If you haven't guessed yet our baby is a DOG. An American Border Collie. Cute as a button. ALmost potty trained at 7 weeks and as mischevious as a baby can be!!! I babysat the stinker all week before the kids get home. He slept a lot but when he was awake he did a lot too! So, I didn't get much studying done.  In the midst of all of the above I am reading books on gardening. I want to plant trees, strawberries, berry bushes (raspberries, blackberries) and veggies.  I feel like I might be biting a bit more that I should the first year in our new home but I can't wait to see fruits and berries on our property, that we, Lord willing, will live longer than 6 months at a time :)
