We got rid of T.V so the kids were outside playing all day long. It reminded me of how we played as kids. Out all day, home long enough to stuff some food in their mouths and then back home to crash for the night. They had many great adventures with their neighbourhood friends. the T.V is back but it will definitely going away again come spring.
Josh worked most of the summer but took some time off to volunteer at the Canada games and do some antique browsing with me. Besides that we spent most of the time hosting guests.
The kids have started a new school year with Sam attending grade 1 and Nesta starting high school. They are all doing very well and we were very happy with their first term report cards.
To update everyone on our chickens, we have 8 laying hens and the roosters were sent to slaughter. It was a tearful morning when they left but at the same time it was a good experience for our family. We have gained a greater appreciation for where our food comes from and what is sacrificed for us. The remaining hens have been laying for a few months now and we are getting between 6-8 eggs a day. Even with me baking all our snacks and bread I have had a hard time using up all those eggs so many of our friends and neighbours have received a carton or two.
We have now reached the Christmas season and all is well in the Biggley home. The kids have emailed Santa with their wish lists and have filled us in on all their Christmas wants. This will be our first Christmas without family but we have been blessed with great friends here who have included us in their Christmas day celebrations.
So with my blog sufficiently updated I will make a new attempt at keeping it current.
