The blog post was going to be titled "Forty-three and pregnant," but the Lord has changed the plan.
Charlie, the kids, and I were very excited to be able to announce our newest addition as soon as I found a doctor. Memorial weekend we were at our annual archery tournament, and I began to miscarry. I'm tired but getting better.
Please be happy for us and our brief time of joy while praying for us in our grief.

Canning and preserving food
I want to keep a record of what we can and preserve this year. I'm a bit behind, but I'm going to start anyway.
5/4/13 We made 18 half-pint jars of low-sugar strawberry jam. I need to make more because this won't last us very long.
5/5/13 We made 5 pint-and-a-half jars of strawberries in simple syrup. We really enjoyed having this last year. The strawberries keep their shape well, so it's great for adding to cake or ice cream. This is the recipe we used.
I plan to update this list as I put up more food.
