So we started off fair officially last week with shooting sports. Cole participated in trap shooting on July 10. He had a great time and did well. Then we kicked off our inaugural year of Farmers Market on the 11th. It was a hot day but Cade absolutely loved it. He had a blast selling … Continue reading Fair, Faith, and Farmers Market

We have hit our summer stride and my mind does not think about writing a post until I am in bed and too exhausted! We are doing great and have even started sending Cade out with a video camera or a GoPro so he can video his adventures. I have now figured out how not … Continue reading Gearing up for Market

I've decided that when you have multiple locations and multiple types of gardens that maybe we should call what we do farming. But whatever we decide to call it, we have been busy getting things to grow at our place. Cade enjoys the beginning and the end of the process much more than the middle … Continue reading Farming Away

We took a little vacation this weekend and went to the Backyard Farmer Garden in Lincoln. We did some other fun things while we were there too but Cade and I watch the Backyard Farmer on television every week and decided we wanted to check out the garden. So we checked with Aunt Amber for … Continue reading Going Up?

Tomorrow will be two years ago that we embarked on this DMD journey. In a lot of ways I feel like I have aged 10 years in 2 years time. We didn't have any idea of how all consuming this diagnosis would be. So we numbly dove into research. We researched about medical information that … Continue reading Two Years In

After we got back from the field trip to Halsey on Friday, our focus shifted to the next task at hand, accessibility for Cade for this summer. We have been having some trouble with a wonderful program that Cade is a part of due to some administrative issues. This program would have helped put in … Continue reading Freedom for Cade

I just realized how long it has been since my last post! We are still going strong but busy. We are getting all things ready for summer here. We have planted seeds, prepared raised beds, tilled the garden, and have the chicks growing nicely. Seed starting is something new we took on this year. We … Continue reading We Are Still Here

Life has been a flurry of activity on the farm right now. Among all of the usual farm activities, we have also been rethinking and reworking our house in order to make access easier for Cade. So with that being said, here is a recap of our life recently. All those baby calves that have … Continue reading Brandings, Babies and Dirt

We have grabbed hold of the nice days we have been having and started running around our farm trying to accomplish a multitude of projects. This weekend was nice weather so we jumped right in and got to work. Our Saturdays this spring have been filled with trap shooting for Cole. So far the weather … Continue reading Taking Advantage

I'm not sure why it has taken me this long to have a post titled "This Is Duchenne". Maybe a small part of me still held out hope that all the medical documentation and genetic testing could still be wrong. That Cade could still be misdiagnosed. Maybe he had something less fatal. Or maybe because … Continue reading This Is Duchenne
