Ups and downs...


Yesterday we noticed that a crucial piece of the corn burner was broken and the new part will cost about $300. Big bummer. Of course, the corn burner cost $3500 new and we got it for free, plus Jesse just went and got a load of old seed corn to burn in it, also free, minus the cost of fuel to get it. We just need to save up for the part. It is cold again, so sure would have been nice to have it going.

Anna has been fussy lately and has had a harder time nursing. I wonder if she has a touch of the stuff that was going around here. She is so precious, I love to watch her sleep. Her cheeks are getting chubby but she is still petite. Her little voice is so feminine, squeaky and high pitched.

Oh, that stinks about the burner part....(especially with this cold cold winter)..it seems like it's always something, doesn't it? But God loves us. He could make our lives smooth sailing, if He wanted to ...but He wants us to seek Him, and for some odd reason, we only tend to do that when things are a little rough. So He sends what we need....Never too much, just right. And your Anna is so sweet...I do love her hair...
