Kelli,
I too have felt the bittersweet feelings of watching ones children grow up; of seeing and feeling the old steady routine change, knowing you can’t stop it and wanting to, yet also knowing that the future can hold such fun and excitement. It’s tough being a parent. I am lucky that my kids are still very willing to spend time with their Mom even though they have homes and lives of their own now too. And the added bonus is that I have a wonderful, loving granddaughter (and hopefully more in the future) and I get to do a little mommy-ing all over again. It’s wonderful!

I’ve been reading your blog for the past few years and will continue to read it. I sometimes go back and read old posts too. It feels wholesome and right.

Thanks, Paul! Having your kids grow up is a combination of sentimentalism for the past, but also excitement for the future. We’re so proud of her and excited to see what’s in store in the next chapter of her life (and ours!)

Kelli,
Honestly, you can almost hear the sadness in your post… not for regret or despair, but more of a melancholy wishing for the way things used to be. I (think I) understand, and that is one of the reasons we are making our move to the farm now while my kids are 4, 2 and T-5 months and counting! I’m so glad the kids are still involved in some small ways, and I know they are so much better off for what you have taught them on the farm over the years. Things will continue to change, especially when Madeline leaves, but I pray it turns out to be as good… just different. God bless!!

Anita, I’m so happy you’re still reading! You were one of my very first followers and have always been such an encouragement. Thank you!

I want to wish you a happy Mother’s Day. I have followed your (now infrequent) posts for many years and remember the learning years with the chickens. Your children (and your chicken skills) have grown up so beautifully. It is a time mothers feel gratitude, I think, this looking back. I just heard from my own son and am feeling very grateful that I have been so blessed. May the future be good to you all. I will continue to watch for your posts the way I did in the beginning as, from my perspective, you were there before and have how just about outlasted Google Reader!

My husband LOVES Mongolian beef, and I love the crockpot, so this has just been bookmarked for next week. Thanks for linking it up!
