Bye Bye to our Pigs





Well today we slaughtered our pigs, Craig was not able to help. He was not pleased about being stuck on the couch during all of that. They are definantley bigger than last years pigs, tommorow we will process them (make chops, sausage and bacon). That's always a icky job, but kinda interesting, Craig can participate in that, it involves a lot of sittig and cutting.
Craig had surgery on Wed. it went well and he is now on the road to recovery, he'll get a cast next Wed. and then in 3weeks switch to a walking boot for another 3-4 weeks. He's a little worried about his leg losing a lot of muscle, but I know he'll get it back soon. We also found out on Wed. that we have lost another pregnancy, this is the fourth. I will be going to see a Infertility Specialist soon, although i'm not infertile, I just can't keep them alive past 9 weeks.
So hopefully we will find some answers with this new doctor, they are going to do some new blood tests, and a uterine work up where they put dye in the uterus and look for any abnormalities. That ought to be real fun, but if it gets us answers i'll be more than happy to do it. We are just praying that we will find a solution, if not we will just put our faith in the Lord and whatever happens it's his plan and he knows best. Hope you are all doing well Love Nat

Hmmm - pork chops and ham. What were their names this time - Pork chops and ? They should be good.
We hope that Craig's ankle heals fast. That was a nasty break. We are sure you will regain your muscles fast, Craig! However a little at a time is probably what the doctor would advise.
Thanks Natalie for keeping us up to date. You all are in our prayers!!!
Love, Mom
