Precious Life

Well it's been a while, a LONG while!!

We have been busy with school, life and everything in between.

We finished up school last year in like mid-July and planned to start back in September, but my daughter had a bad accident and was in the hospital and rehab from September 3, 2015 to November 21, 2016.  It's a long road ahead, but she is doing great.

Week in ICU

Getting back to her old self.

So school had been put on hold for a bit and we finally got the 2015 - 2016 school year started in January.

We also found out in 2015 that Curtis DOES indeed have Dyslexia along with Dysgraphia, Dyspraxia and Dyscalculia.  I am really glad that we finally got a REAL diagnosis so that our county school administrators can understand why Curtis does not work at his grade level per his age.

Wow, what else happen in 2015???  A lot really, but those were the 2 main events. :)

Lets see, what else has been happening???

We started raising rabbits, a few different breeds basically.  We are raising a meat breed, New Zealand and Californian (they will be mixed) and then we raising a pet breed, Harlequin and Dutch mixed with Mini Lops and Rex, basically a mutt meat breed or pet. :)

These are the meat rabbit breeders: These were all FREE!!!!

We got our first 6 the weekend of Easter, actually the day before.  These were all free with cages, feeders, food, water bottles, everything.

Then we got 2 more with some bartering.  Got a momma Dutch and one of her offspring, a little buck that is Dutch and Harlequin mixed.  Then we got 2 more little does that are Dutch/Mini Lop and Rex mixed.  Can't wait for babies this spring.

Of course we ended up with one litter already from Momma and Buddy on 8/18/15, she had 7 kits and they were all wonderfully healthy.  We ended up keeping 3 of them.  Here is one of the babies.  They are 6 months old now.

This is Bow/Bo one of the 3 that we are keeping.
Let's see what the next few months bring. :)
