It's a new dawn, it's a new day, it's a new life, for me..

And I'm feelin' good! lol Well since my last post until just after Christmas I have felt like a chicken with it's head cut off. 2010 was so hectic for me but my New Year's resolution is to do my very best not to let 2011 get as crazy, even if that means me saying "No" more and worrying less about what I "have" to do, and taking the time to make a trip to a bunny show, playing at the park or in the backyard with my daughter and yes, sadly not worrying about exactly how much this grandparent/great-grandparent has gotten to see Ally. I'm just going to have to say "You have a car too and if you wanna see her, you can drive up here." This includes her birthfamily as well as our immediate family. I hate sounding like that but Tim and I are just wore out from this last year.

Anyways since the last post I have only had one litter, and only one of the babies survived. I gifted it to a little girl in Kentucky who wants to start breeding rabbits. She already had a buck so now she has a little black doe. Next week I have 5 does that are possibly due (side note, I really really wish I was able to palpatate) And then next month I get to breed a few of my younger ones from this past year including 2 of my babies from Fi and Crush. Crush has also been bred to my chocolate doe, Kisses because I want to try to incorporate a bit of the type into them, his short ears with her short thick ears and bone is what I'm hoping for. I'm going to try to start picking up some new stock BUT I am supposed to be saving money for the end of the year, so I'm only allowing myself oranges/fawns/broken oranges and maybe a chocolate/broken chocolate. The latter only if their type is excellent.

The reason I have to be so good and save money is because my family has decided to take a weekend before Christmas next year and rent a cabin in the mountains. More space because our family is getting SO big, and also because this way we won't have to be insanely rushed on Christmas Eve and day. My brothers, and sister and I all have spouses whom we go visit their family on Christmas Day (my sister also has to share the time with my niece and nephews with their dad who she is divorced from, which makes timing critical) So this way we can all be together, including all the kids and then we'll have only one side of the family to make a trip to and make food for. I am so glad because I love seeing them all but 2 days just isn't enough time to fit it all in and be able to enjoy their company without rushing off.

In other exciting news in a couple months we're starting the adoption process again, Ally is ready to be a big sister I think lol. I know it could take a year or even more to go through but I am still excited to be starting it all again, and another baby in the house sounds so good. But however long it takes I'm ok with it and think it will be easier to wait because we have Ally, she is such an amazing blessing.

Well I think that's all I have to update for now. Hope you all have a great New Year, I'm determined that God willing, I will :)
