Our lives have been such a roller coaster lately... at a bunch of different angles.
The one that sticks out most in my mind... is the adoption process!!
I have to admit... I have learned a lot about myself, my past, and my abilities through all of this. I have also learned a bunch about my husband.
I have always looked at my past as something to not be so proud of... to keep to myself. It turns out... all of those things I have been through and battled make me a much more desirable parent!! Who would have thought!! I mean... The entire time I have been a mother (the past 21 yrs) I have had at least one person tell me I was doing things WRONG! Our adoption counselor looked me in the eyes one day... and told me to think about that...really think. I have 4 amazing kids, who are doing great things... because of me and the way I have parented them!! Did I make some mistakes... of course. ALL parents do!!
Stacy and I want to add to our family so bad!! We have done EVERYTHING we have been asked to do. We have come up with care plans for a special needs child... we have come up with back up care plans for a special needs child... we have come up with back up to the back up plans!!! We have asked carefully picked family members if they would step up and help us if we needed that help... and asked them to obtain all of the required clearances. We have had our kids, still at home, get clearances.
We have researched, learned, and gone over all kinds of possible care needs.
It seems like we just keep going and doing... and we still dont have a new little person in our home yet!! :-(
I absolutely hate that a part of the reason for that... is it is such a money racket!! Of course, the process takes some time... we understand that. But at the same time... it is coming up with the required fees to get the training... get the special approvals... have what we need on hand... and all of the "fun" stuff needed to adopt from out of state.
It is pretty sad that the way the "system" works is that if we were going to adopt from the PA foster care system... they would PAY US to do so!! BUT... take it out of state, even with a special needs kiddo... it costs us an arm and a leg! I think that is what makes it all the more frustrating!!
We have had a bunch of ups and down through this process... at times I wonder if it will ever really happen. Will all of this hard work and saving ever give us what we are looking for...?
I just have to never give up hope and truly KNOW that it will all work out in the end.

Back at it
After a 6 month break... I have decided to come back to blogging. I really dont think anyone knows what it takes to run the "Graff homestead"! With 6 kids (1 not under our roof, but living near by with his girlfriend) 5 dogs, a flock of ducks, 2 bearded dragons, and now 2 micro potbelly pigs... life is always an adventure!! Seriously, there is NEVER a dull moment around here!!!
Last evening, "Bacon" (or "Hamlet"... we are apparently still undecided on his name), the youngest of the pigs at only 4 months old, decided to let himself out of the yard!! Pigs are super smart... and I am learning that real quick! The kids and I searched Erdman for this little pig... looking in fields, yards, along the road and in the mountain. NO sign of the pig! Nathan was a complete mess... which is just his nature to panic and cry and basically completely freak out. Once the sun disappeared, we stopped searching. Stacy had a chiropractor appt... so we grabbed the spot light and looked along the way.
Of course, once we are in the chiropractor's office... my phone starts to ring!! The neighbors around the corner found the pig!! This is GREAT, you may think..... NOT when I am not home to deal with it! I called the house, Nathan answered the phone. I tried to give him detailed instructions on what to grab and where to go... and what to do once he got there. He apparently didnt hear my voice at all... and just ran out of the house with no coat, no carrier, no piggy treats... NOTHING!! I get a call from his sisters, because they have no clue where he went.
Eventually, all of the kids end up around the corner trying to catch the pig... along with some neighbors!! "Bacon" (or "Hamlet") is a whopping 40lbs at most, so he is fairly small. I guess everyone was trying to catch him and he kept darting out of their arms, between their legs and all over the yards!! Brittany said it was a hilarious sight and she couldnt stop laughing... I guess watching 2 grown ups and a hand full of kids pounce on a screaming pig is somewhat of a sight... One I wish I would have seen!!
The pig was eventually caught and contained... and brought back home. Which we are forever thankful for!!
I learned quite a lesson... it is no joke that pigs are the 4th smartest animals in existence and I better start thinking like a pig!
The first thing I need to do is put up a more secure run... inside the yard... in hopes that while outside, we have no more escapes!! Second, BUSTER CUBES!! This should keep the brainy bunch occupied over their favorite stuff... FOOD... for a bit of time, and their minds off of escaping!! Third, I need to fashion some "rooting boxes"... yes, just more hide and seek food opportunities!
"Bacon" came from an amish auction somewhere up north. He is terrified of people and doesnt have split hooves in the front. Leave it to me to find the one "special needs" pig in all of PA...LOL!!
He is a young male and I have a call in to Dr Tracy about neutering him. I am hoping he will be easier to work with once that is done! Added bonus-- he will be less stinky!!
"Piglet" is a 10 month old female. She likes ppl and food. She came from an orchard, and is extremely grumpy over the fact that she cant graze on apples & pears all day!! The sugar crash was not very funny and made her 60lbs of pissy!! She tried pushing her weight around some... but quickly learned that wouldnt work in her favor. She is starting to come around and eat her veggies... and appreciates the occasional grape and piece of banana! If you havent guessed... she is way overweight, so we are really watching her food intake... in hopes to slim her down some.
Thanksgiving is right around the corner... a week away!! We will be hosting dinner here... as is our tradition! Usually I go all out and make the HUGE meal myself... and LOVE doing it. This year is a bit different. We have been pinching every penny to make adopting (I'll talk more about that in a later post) possible. No more icees ever day or every other day... I am down to about 2 a week tops. Everything we do is more carefully planned, so we dont have to do it again... or make another trip somewhere. If only I could get Stacy to cut down on the tea and soda OR the insane amount of data he "needs" on his phone... we would be home free...LOL!
I hate that I feel like I am the one giving up the most... and Stacy is business as usual. He cant seem to get it in his head that he cant have it all. But that is a completely different discussion that I wont get into.
Nathan and Brittany are back in school. Nathan is attending a local private Christian School and Brittany is back at UDA. They are both doing really well!! Which, again, I will get into in later posts.
That is about all I have time for today. I must get outside to take care of animals... and the dogs are being awfully quiet, and that probably means trouble!

Truly blessed...
I always knew I was "lucky". I have 4 awesome kids... and awesome hubby... I love our home... I enjoy being able to work in my shop and do all of the other things I do.
More and more I am having those eye opening moments where I am seeing that I'm not just "lucky". I am truly blessed, in so many ways!!
Living with fibromyalgia isnt easy. Last week I had one of my worse "flares" ever. It was hard to get out of bed... let alone function. But still, I pushed on and didnt give up. I worked through the appts in my shop, with Brittany's help. (It is nice to be just busy enough I need a paid helper... even nicer that it is my own daughter, who usually knows what I want or need before I do!) I did miss a few things I wanted to do last week... but I will make up for it this week! It really makes me appreciate the days I feel GREAT, that is for sure!!!
I was extremely thankful that my flare cleared up in time for Mother's Day weekend!! This was the first Mother's Day that Stacy was off since we moved into this house!! And of course he and the kids had big plans! (I was woken up by the smoke detectors going off, bright and early...LOL) I LOVE our "adventures"!! We also included some Mother's Day visiting in our Sunday...which was really nice.
Here are the "projects" I was working on for Mother's Day--
My Grandmother's "Picture Pot"
Stacy's Mom's "Picture Pot"
And my HUGE Mother's Day surprise--
It is BEAUTIFUL... and I was completely shocked!!!
Let's see...
Since my last blog I have become an admin/moderator on 2 really cool FB pages--Old Structures & Interesting Places in Eastern PA... also in Central PA!! I am LOVING the fact that I get to share my photography work, and I am getting A LOT of feedback! :-) It helps that we go on TONS of "adventures"!! I am having a lot of fun with it.
Stacy and I took a sewing class together!!! It was a ton of fun too!! I have an awesome hubby to give up his Friday night to attend a class with me. Originally he wasnt going to go... but we needed 1 more person or the class was going to be canceled. Soooo... he "volunteered"! :-)
I took that opportunity to buy a new sewing machine. I am hoping to add doggy apparel to my shop sometime in the future.
I finally attended my first Bible Study at the church today! It was really nice. I was pretty nervous... since I am "new" still to the church. But I LOVE how welcoming everyone is!
I was really kind of bummed over the weekend. Not having my own mother to celebrate Mother's Day with. But over time... I have realized that God has put some pretty special ppl in my life. It is so true when they say He gives us what we need... not necessarily what we want!!
I reached out to Pastor Beth at a pretty difficult time for me. I am soooo glad she was there and "all ears"... and just as awesome as she was 5 yrs ago when I first met her! Love her!!!
I think that about sums up things lately.
I will try to get some pics posted of our "baby" ducks... which arent so small anymore. They are getting their real feathers... and growing every day! It is amazing to watch how quickly they grow!!

Changes...
So I guess I will let the cat out of the bag on some of the changes and "growth" going on around here!
Our first big change was the addition of a HUGE, amazing 4ftx8ft advertising sign with a COMPLETELY new look and design!! It was successfully hung yesterday (in Klingerstown) AND within a few hours I had a WINNER of the "find the sign" contest!! :-) I am so excited about our new look... and cant wait to order a new sign for out front and a few more to hang around Upper Dauphin County!!
Our second BIG change is--
We officially enrolled Nathaniel and Brittany in Northern Dauphin Christian School for the 2013-2014 school year!!!
I have some mixed feeling about this... but I think even through the growing pains, it was a great decision!! I prayed a lot about it, talked to MANY knowledgeable and helpful ppl... and I think we made a good choice!!
I will miss having the kids here... and doing all of those "fun" activities we do during the day. (Yesterday Nathan washed AND hung out his own laundry all by himself!! I am sooo very proud of him!!) But, I just feel like they will learn some "extras" with kids their age, that I cant provide at home. I am looking forward to their service projects!!
I get to be very involved with the school and learning. So that makes me feel quite a bit better about it! PLUS it opens up some time for me to be involved in some other activities in the community.
Lastly... my blog name will be changing over the summer!! I am thinking "Homestead Hobbies"... but I am just not quite sure yet.
I guess that is enough "sharing" for one day. We have more up our sleeve... but I will hang on to those "secrets" until the time is right!!

Growing Pains
As most of you know... I have been doing some major changing over the past 6 months or so.
I havent had much time to blog... But I am anticipating that will change in the near future.
What will also change?
The focus of this blog!! :-)
I dont want to give away too much... just yet. Just keep an eye out for the fun stuff to come!! Until then, bear with me!

So much...
...going on!!
I guess I missed a few weeks of blogging!! Things have been busy to say the least!
We started the paperwork and FAFSA forms for Courtney to go to college!!! We are probably looking at a Fall start for her, altho we arent counting out May yet, even if it is highly unlikely.
She is also motivated to work over the summer months... since she will have to pay for her own internet and cable while away at school. Since we are forking the bill for some of the schooling.
We are still nursing Quackers back to health...3rd round of antibiotics. It's been quite the journey with her!!
Runway was spayed yesterday. Brittany has been very attentive to taking extra good care of her! Really, she has been a nervous wreck!! LOL
We have an E-Lop in the house with boo boo ears... she sliced them under her nails.
I may have FINALLY (2 yrs later) found the super rare ducks I have been searching for. Fingers crossed that this "deal" works out!
We are thinking about (privacy) fencing in the upper part of the yard, where the coops are... and putting our "guardian dogs" to work at nite!! Our neighbors have all kinds of wild life living in their fallen down garage... and something is really after our animals up there. We lost another chicken.
We have started our "Family Dinner" nights!! It was nice to have everyone together last weekend! I think everyone really enjoyed themselves! Looking forward to the next one.
Looking into some advertising options for my shop. Excited about that!
Switched to a different Chiropractor... today was my first visit... I am happier already!
Nathan goes for his hunter safety course on Saturday!!
New truck tires are GREAT!! Love them... and they do awesome in the snow. Too bad I got to find that out in SPRING! LOL!!
Still loving my Land Rover! Way better on fuel... ugly or not! ;-)
Stacy has been hard at work on the Escort. The body is off... and it is in the garage for its motor swap. He had his steering parts custom made. It shouldnt be long now!!!
I've gone through hell and back with issues with my hip/knee. I am finally "over" the trauma from the hip injection... but I sure as hell wont be getting another one!!!! No thanks!!!
I think that about wraps it up. I am sick of this weather... and soooo ready for the "real" SPRING to show up!!!

2013... Weeks #8 and #9
Ok... it has obviously been pretty busy around here lately!
A quick recap-
*Something got in with the kid's ducks... we lost 1 and the other 2 were badly ripped up. These ducks have seen 2 different vets... been on 2 different antibiotics... tons of wound care... one got a nasty flesh eating infection that went all the way into the muscle. BUT, now we are seeing some recovery with both of them! They are living in our side kitchen right now... and we have yet to figure out what got them or how it got into the coop with them! Whatever it was got in with the chickens this week, we lost 1 chicken.
*STILL waiting on the new tires for the truck to arrive!!! Grrrr!!!
*Last week we were still looking for another vehicle. This week we decided on a Land Rover... and made the purchase. LOVE IT!
*Got rid of the CRX... It now belongs to Josh. He is beyond ecstatic about it.
*Ordered and received a book on mesothelioma for my grandfather. TONS of info... he is pleased with it. Just wish my asshole mother would quit using him to pay her way in life. He needs to really focus on himself and my grandmother!
*Stacy almost bought another Bronco. I am so glad that fell through... more trouble than it was worth! Now focusing on finishing the Escort!! ;-) His dad had that thing pulled out and on a tow dolly in less than 12 hours of Stacy saying he wanted to bring it home!! I bet he did a happy dance in the space it freed up in their yard!! LOL!!! I am excited to see some progress being made on it!
*Brittany is practicing with the UDA comp cheer team now!! They are in between seasons right now... but she is excited about cheering again.
*I will be placing my seed order THIS weekend!! I cant wait to get out into the garden... I have TONS of ideas!!
*It is actually starting to smell like spring... and my allergies are feeling it. I cant say I am sad to see winter go... I have had enough now. I am sick of slop falling from the sky. I am ready to get my hands in some dirt!
*Kids are doing good with school!
*Making good use of our "Y" membership.
I think that about covers things. I am hoping to have a bit more time in the upcoming week to put together a more in depth blog! Things have just been so damn crazy lately!! I am ready for some "down" time!!
