I can't believe that Elsie is three already. We celebrated her birthday this weekend with presents, going to a community event with friends and a pink 'scary roar' dinosaur cake. It was a lovely weekend and while I am blessed and excited to see these children of mine grow, my heart aches with the reality that this season of parenting small children is coming to a close.
Grant has been called into firefighting duty and things have been hectic here. The dogs took on a gonna and Maisie the young border collie came off second best, there was a snake in a bedroom (non-venomous) and a sick baby goat I was unable to save. There are animals to move tonight, chickens to feed and the usual cooking, cleaning and washing that comes with 4 children. As well as a combined total of 2.5 hours/day of the morning and afternoon school/bus run.
So this post is just a quick one to touch base and share sweet Elsies birthday with you.
Much love,
Emma

A never used balance bike we picked up secondhand from Facebook Marketpace.
I made her this goat and a Heidi-inspired outfit for her Waldorf doll. The doll was a gift I made for her fist birthday.
