2024 continued to be even more rocky. My mother-in-law was in and out of the hospital, our daughter was trampled by a huge cow and only by God’s hand did she remain unharmed, and then as if that wasn’t enough, we got the news that my mom had the worst kind of breast cancer possible and would need surgery and treatments right away. Although our world was shaken and our hearts broken, our hope and trust in the Lord didn’t falter and indeed, it grew bigger and deeper than ever as we navigated this uncharted territory. 🤍
2024 - Part Three
Still coming off the high of being featured in @betterhomesandgardens Farmhouse Christmas magazine. Our farm life can sometimes seem like a fairytale come true, but most days are challenging and hard and a learning curve. We feel unprepared and inexperienced. Neither of us grew up on a farm or were around cattle. We sell fabric for a living, so every ounce of farm life experience has come to us the past three years. We learn what works, and what doesn’t, what to do, and what not to do. With each day, there’s something to fix, something to learn how to do better, quicker or easier.
With that being said, we have watched seven calves be born on our farm. The seventh, “FBL Luna’s Starlight”, was born October 8th. She was a week past her due date and only weighed 37 pounds soaking wet. She was a darling, but something didn’t sit well with me. She wasn’t trying to get up much, and when she did, it was to no avail. She was just mostly laying still. Too tired to nurse. My gut feeling knew something was wrong, but I often panic, so we decided we would give her some time. We celebrated my dad’s birthday that day and hustled to a late ballgame. When we got back home, she was still in the same place.
I knew she needed milk, so we gave her a bottle. It took her a hot minute to catch on before she drank it mostly down. The next morning, she was still laying in the same place, so we offered another bottle, which she didn’t have the strength to eat. We called the vet and awaited their arrival.
This video shows the first moments of Starlight’s life. We named her after her mom, CBS Luna: “Luna’s Starlight”, and Starlight helps us remember the stars in the sky that night when we fed her at midnight on her birthday. We said a prayer for her and wished upon a star that she would be ok. ✨
We will share Part 2 in the next video. Stay tuned and say a prayer for our little girl. ⭐️

Praising the Lord for miracles…like having the strength to make sourdough again and chicken stew. Thankful for the simple things. The little things. And for the perspective to be thankful for both 🩶
