Times goes by so fast. It won’t be long before Ben upgrades from pulling cinnamon rolls in his “red neck shopping cart” to pulling some grands in there. Love you all
So glad I found this channel today. My oldest just got married two weeks ago and I can so relate to the feeling of bittersweet. We still have one in the nest but it is a new paradigm to get used to. Watching your channel inspires me that maybe one day we will have enough property to grow our own hay! Glory to God!
Hello and welcome back! Thank you for sharing all the blessings (family/farm); I will say, I balled happy tears 😭🥲when you shared the gift stories, from your two daughters(daughter & D-in-law) at their wedding's. It's wonderful to see you and Ben, again thank you for bring us and sharing a part of your lives. God bless 🤍🤍
A whole new season with many new adventures. That's fantastic about the hay! I was just recounting how you have been able to restore your pastures. Even mentioned the army worms so it was crazy hearing what's going on around you. God's abundance comes in due season. ❤
Welcome back! Ben looks happy and healthy! Hope all is well with his health scare recently. I’m getting ready for my fall garden now. Just cleaned out old tomato plants but peppers are still going strong. I’m going to make fermented Tabasco sauce for the first time in the next few weeks. Thanks for bringing us along Andrea. Love from south TX ❤
Hey y’all, So happy for your family. Both your children were raised in the way of the Lord and it will serve them well. Y’all have role modeled what good parents look and act like. You could have given them. I remember when y’all have those army worms and you were fighting them all summer long and suffering a very poor hay crop that year. This year is a blessing in the hay department for you. It was really nice to see you both today. I pray for your health, success, peace, and blessings, Steven
Love, love, love your channel! It is so refreshing to see y’all grow as a Family and plan for the future. I’m 71 and love that you guys live much like I did growing up. You love guys!
Hey Y-all congrats🎉on all the great life events that you have gotten to be a part off. Empty nesting will take some time to get used too for sure, we started have a date night once every few weeks to kinda remember what it was like before kids and bring back that sence of new beginnings to our relationship. great that you are gonna have feeder pigs we are planning to start raising feeders this spring. (hint hint) and while need someone trustworthy to get them from. We are only an 1 1/2 away and once fall comes and we get our house framed and dried in we'll try to come down to check out the new store. Take care and be safe. Eric & Melissa
I totally agree with your comment early on about how staying busy helps get you through. The Bible talks about how idle hands are the devil's playground so keeping busy is definitely good advice. Keeping busy doesn't mean always working either. Keeping our minds busy detracts from dwelling on the "poor me" thoughts we all have so we can continue being content and not stressed unnecessarily. Enjoy your channel and seeing everything you do. You certainly have no trouble staying busy. Thanks for sharing.
CONGRATULATIONS !!! You pulled it off & your beautiful children are now starting their own journeys in Life. What amazing children they are xxx. Andrea I am still using my Sourdough from your original recipe video 23rd November 2018 xxx Cheers Denise - Australia
Wow ... empty nesters is good and not so good. lol lol Good to see Ben back in action. So happy for you all and it is sad, but exciting as well. I missed our children when they married and left home. Yes love them and their families. You want to see them happy and grow into wonderful adults. Good to have a good year. You had that happen to your hay field maybe last year? Oh that was too bad their mess broke you hay mower. lol our dogs love us. Wow nice to get those nice chickens. My hens are not laying due to the excess heat I think. It is good for us to stay busy. Your bread is beautiful! All the best and God Bless.
HAPPY for you both. Hope your husband health is good. and yours also. I enjoy hearing about you. All of my family in Indiana were farmers but I ended up being a music teacher. I still respect all of you.
Oh all your blessings got me all happy teared up! So thankful Ben is all better after health scare! Hope someday soon you can share some wedding photos for we all have grown so attached to your loving children too! Congratulations😇
Sooo….Mom and Dad getting a second honeymoon. You two raised such thoughtful kids. It’s been a pleasure watching them grow up. It’s wonderful to see how well things are going for your whole family.
I’m so glad you are doing well❤ I remember a few years back I prayed for both Lane and Emily that God would bring a godly mate into their lives. I’m sure you both have prayed that many times. Just as I did for my son. God is so good in answering those prayers🙌🏼 I hope and pray that you and Ben can take a fun trip together and that it won’t be to long b4 those grand babies star arriving. 😉😉 It’s the BEST💙💖
🎊 congratulations! ❤empty nest is ruff when grandchildren start arriving down the road makes up for all the time you miss your children. I have 14 grandchildren and looking forward to great grandchildren in due time. 😊
Congratulations to Emily and her new husband. It is a blessing when your children find wonderful spouses. My youngest of 4, my son, is getting married tomorrow.They are older and want to start a family so decided on no reception. I hope they'll let me have a dinner to celebrate. Grandkids are the best!!
Congratulations ❤ The two of you are testimony Of how God used you to be the parents to your children. They are passing on each step that they go in each of their marriages. The wisdom did vice everything that you and Ben taught them along with the Lord to this big old world. How I wish we lived closer. It would be so fun to get coffee at your stand a good cup of coffee is amazing. I can't wait for you all to one day, have grandchildren. You're gonna have so much fun, but now you get to have fun with each other in a new way. My youngest is expecting a baby in December and it will be my sixth grandchild. I didn't become a Grandma until I was 51. My grandma my mom both became grandparents at age forty. Bless the both of you. Bless each day together. Bless your farm and all the stories. You get to hear when your children come around and you're gonna sit back and just say God, you are ever so good. I'm sure you do already, but the smile and you and Ben's fayes, it's such smiles of love. Thank you for being that testimony of a family sold out for Jesus in all you do. Congratulations To both your children and their beautiful marriage
God is awesome! Y’all are such a blessing. I’m so happy for y’all, Emily and Lane too. I’ve shared your channel and told my story about how you surprised me at the olive oil store so I hope that helps get you some more viewers. Love seeing your smile face all the time. Keep it up because you’re an encouragement. Helping to run a local ladies skill sharing group and planting a fall garden with 2 grandchildren now keeps me busy.
God Bless you both. Congratulations on gaining another daughter and son .. I know they are daughter in law and son in law . I'm glad we walk the stages with you both.
I love my two kids ... but I also wanted your two kids. They never complained about all the work that is required for your lifestyle. The love you all have for each other was (and is) obvious in every video. May God's blessings continue for all six of you.
I am so glad to see yr video I look forward to seeing you I truly love you as a sister in christ it seems like the lord always sends messages that I need through you I admire your strength as a child of God’ I love how you always trust in him to get you through every situation and you may not know if but you show us how to navigate through the rough times so thank you so much
Both " and babies" gone on to new lives/adventures marriages to good Christian spouses is exactly what a parent wants for their child! God blessed ya'll with 2 wonderful children. No hurry on grandkids for sure as they find their way as married couples and that takes more than a minute! A second honeymoon for you and Ben is what the doctor ordered! Love to you both! I wish I could stop by for coffee but NC is quite the drive!😊😊❤❤🙏🙏
I love piglets!!!❤ when I was little we lived on a farm and dad raised hogs with lots of piglets! Do you know you can train a pig to play tag? Well I’m proof to that fact. We had a pet pig named porky that my brothers taught to play tag! Great pig!❤you are blessed! We are blessed too! God is so good! We pray protection over all your property in Jesus name. Psalm 91 over your property and everything on or in it! Love yall! Blessings from OKC.❤
Thats awesome they are both kids grown and married and i know you love your kids and that.will never change but wait until your agrandma its the best❤❤🎉
Andrea, and Ben, Good to see you both smiling. Congratulations to your Daughter, and her new Husband❤ Empty nesters, doesn't it feel different. It's okay to feel different because your kids are starting their lives with their new spouses. There will be adjustment time for you, and Ben.....and it's okay. You'll get into a routine, and figure out how you want to handle the tasks/jobs since it's just the two of you. A suggestion, if you need help, maybe look into an intern through the schools. Someone to learn the farm, or animals for little pay, or no pay for the experience as credit for class. Several other vloggers have used interns, and it really helped.
Wow! I hadn't realized that the algorithm had gotten me away from your channel for so long. BOTH your kids got married?!?!?!?! I have some serious catching up to do. Congratulations to all of you!!
Very fun video! I definitely missed u all and ur content 🥰. Man another content provider that has a shop, I think I want to do that, I just don't know about the commitment and feelings of obligation....I am not up for that. But ur shop looks super fun! Hope to see more of u!!
Girl, I think all of us are upside down , one thing after another, trying to stay super busy. Y’all have been doing weddings and Ben’s health… I jumped into landscaping my property 😅…. I’ve always just done vegetables- whole new learning curve! Lol Sure is pretty though! Glad yall are doing well! 💚Mims
I just was thinking, before you know it y'all will have grandchildren to help you on the farm and to teach how to farm. Meanwhile enjoy some "us" time.
You all will never be total "empty nesters" with all those animals to care. Naturally, it isn't the same obviously...I am glad you all aren't controlling like my Mother was concerning "leaving the nest." You are weren't sad when the kids got married. My Mom was actually that shade of "sad" you said you all weren't. 😂😂 Glad the army worms didn't hit you all. They have up this way in North Arkansas.
Times goes by so fast. It won’t be long before Ben upgrades from pulling cinnamon rolls in his “red neck shopping cart” to pulling some grands in there. Love you all
Oh and don’t be surprised if I show up for coffee on that porch❤
Can't wait! We miss you!

Sorry all the kids are gone. I was amazed at how good Lane was at counting the herd. You have fine kids you taught them well. God bless you all.

I had to stop watching the video to make this comment. The special recognition from both your children is a true t😊estament of your parenting skills.

God’s providing for the winter season! Store as much as you can. I think you will need it for the animals.

My Mom was actually that shade of "sad" you said you all weren't. 😂😂 Glad the army worms didn't hit you all. They have up this way in North Arkansas.
