Plattner Ranch

Jubilee has become a climber, she loves to climb on or in anything she can. She was trying to climb in this basket, so I helped her the rest of the way, it is too small for her to get in by herself. I thought it made a cute picture.

It's been awhile since I last posted a blog. I have been working pretty steadily on lesson plans for the school year. The more children I'm schooling, the more prepared I need to be.

We enjoyed our trip to Illinois and visiting with cousins we only see once in a great while, sometimes its years! We are thankful we get to see our Aunts and Uncles a lot more often. It's mainly the Behrens and Billington cousins we don't get to see! We love you all, near or far away. This year we will have a double blessing, with Angies wedding we will get to see most (All?) of you again.

Jubilee is getting on a great schedule for me. I put her on a bottle instead of nursing before bedtime and that is helping me. She doesn't have the option of nursing to sleep, and if she doesn't finish the bottle, I can put it in bed with her so if she cries I know she is just resisting bed because she can have a drink if she wants it. Anyway, she goes to bed at 9 PM. Wakes up once during the night for a bottle, then gets up at 9 AM and takes a 2 - 3 hour nap around noon. The only thing better is when she will no longer wake up at all during the night, but I often thank God that I have the privilage of having a baby to wake up with. There are many women who would like to have a baby of their own, and there are mothers who have lost a baby, considering all that, I have nothing to complain about.


The children were playing with the hose and Jubilee got in on the fun. She was drenched and loved it.

It is 9 PM, so you know what needs to happen now.

I will try to post again a little sooner next time.

Have a great weekend everybody!!!
