Far too long since I have written anything! IN part that is because life is non-stop, and in part because the dial up is to slow it makes me a little crazy!
A quick hello to you all... I have been lurking and reading, but not posting much.
A few new photos... including Tony`s parents who came to visit a couple of weeks ago and I adore!
Love to all... talk soon...xo Stevie

My goodness, Stevie, they are so Dutch!! I'd have known that without you saying anything. Great photos, and I'm so sorry I missed your last post. The kid is beautiful and your boots are great!
We got your lovely long letter just before we moved off the Vereeniging and onto the Luxor, and now I can't find it ;-( I wanted to answer in the same fashion as I think it's so great to get a proper letter. You sound so happy there. Will you email me your address so I can write to you too...please? I really am sorry for being so lax. It's mostly because I've been so very busy I haven't had time to think of anything and anyone, other than keeping up my own blog.
I so hope you are as happy as can be and that your wedding pics will be on here or FB. Would love to be there, and Koos was touched you thought of him as photographer, but you know already that it's too far to go without being planned long term...too many other responsibilities to be taken care of first, and of course, there's the cost.
Have a wonderful wedding dear Stevie, and looking forward to your next post. I'll keep checking back now I know you are blogging a bit. xxx
Oh I forgot to say that all the photos are gorgeous. What a super life you have now. I'd give anything to be working with animals and on a farm again, and by the way, the beginning of my first comment refers to Tony's parents...I forgot to mention that too ;-)
Hi Stevie,
glad to see that life is treating you well and that all is good in your corner of the world.

lol! thanks Val! My snail mail address is Stephanie Stevens, Box 5197, Spruce Grove AB, T7X 3A3, Canada.
They are wonderful people, Tony's parents, and I am very happy to be joining their family. Don't you dare apologize for being busy either! I know just how that works!
AM, thank you for your well wishes... I have missed keeping in touch with all of you and have promised myself at least a once a week visit!

Hey there!!
Just stopped by to see what's up and here you are!
Things are good here and if it weren't for a certain thorn in my side whom you know all too well, they'd be better, but hey, can't complain :)
The good news is that Hayley will be at your wedding. Ian wrote her that he's working with Mike to see that she gets there. I think he (Ian) is planning to pick her up in Exshaw on the way to Des Moines via Winnipeg. No other details yet, but she'll be there!
I so glad you're so happy. You deserve it so much, Stevie. I only wish I could be there too to help you celebrate!
Love,
Rache

Oh, check out my Facebook page for some photos of our girl ;)
Stevie, I'm so happy to come back here and see you in the middle of such excitement, even if it was at the end of May. Where is this year GOING???
The cria are just beautiful, but then so are their mums. What a privilege seeing these little ones come into the world.
Tony's parents look lovely - I'm out of touch with dates; are you married yet? I'm not sure when Rache wrote her comment. I think you'd only just got engaged when I was last here - how slack am I? I hope the wedding is / was all you hoped it would be, and full of love from everyone. You deserve it by the bucketload Stevie.

PS: Tony is rather a dish, isn't he? Well, you deserve that too!
Hi Stevie, how's everything going? How are your babies and life on the farm. You must be in the swing of full summer now, so I hope you're enjoying it, dear one xx
Margie!!! Hello hello! I was thinking of you yesterday as I raided my sisters homemade caramel stash, thinking you would savour them as I did!
And yes Val, all is well! So glad we are all still here, albeit all too busy to post as much as we would like!
Things are busy with the wedding plans as well as babies arriving almost daily. Sadly we have lost three of our babies, one dying in my arms on the way to the vet, one newborn whom I tried in vain to keep alive with CPR, another that sighed his last in Tony's arms after he found him badly injured from a kick in the pasture. Heartwrenching moments to be sure, but part of the job I suppose.
But far more happy moments and almost 50 healthy cria running and growing by leaps and bounds!
Ah, Stevie, those losses hurt, I know, and the fact that they're a natural part of a project like yours doesn't help a bit. Death is very personal, especially if you're holding a living creature when it breathes its last. I've seen burly farmers go dewy-eyed when a lamb dies, and although there are those who genuinely don't seem to feel it, I think the good ones do.
Hope you're having fun with the wedding plans - you certainly have quite a family already!
Hi Stevie, so sorry to hear you lost some little ones, but as you say, it does go with the territory. Have had some small experience with that myself. Let us know how things are going!
