What a wonderful few months it has been! God has been so gracious to us and I praise His Mighty Name! The Most High has blessed us beyond words. 

As many of you know, I have had the opportunity to take some time off from work due to the birth of our baby girl Payton. I get 12 weeks of paid Family Medical Leave (FML) and it has been a true blessing. Not only have I been able to bond with my beautiful Payton, but I have been able to spend more time with my family as a whole! It has been amazing. 

I am truly blessed. I have a wonderful wife who loves Jesus. I have beautiful children who love Jesus. What more could a man ask for in this life. The Bible says is Psalm 127:3-5 (KJV): 

"Lo, children are an heritage of the Lord: and the fruit of the womb is his reward. As arrows are in the hand of a mighty man; so are children of the youth. Happy is the man that hath his quiver full of them"

Payton is doing great. She is growing and has a ton of people who love her. She is beautiful and we are so thankful for her!

So what else has been going on around the Homestead? Well, we have gotten a ton of projects done! We did a ton of work in our basement, remodeled our disgusting spare bathroom (I'll post video below), we installed a dishwasher and new sink in the kitchen, we hooked up a generator to our home in case of emergencies, and we've done a ton of odds and ends. 

We were also able to get away for a few "mini" vacations. We went down to camp and we took a visit to Niagara Falls. (See videos below) 

We have also gotten the Homestead ready for winter. This is the most prepared we have ever been for winter. Even our vehicles are ready. I am actually excited for winter and the holiday season. It is my favorite time of year! It seems every year I am scrambling to get everything ready, but this year I am ready to go! 

Stay tuned for a major announcement coming in a couple weeks. We are excited....The Most High God has been so good to us and we praise Him! Thank you for stopping by and check out some of our recent videos below!  -Steve

As many of you know, we live in the sticks! We have very little options when it comes to internet besides HughesNet and Verizon DSL. When we first moved here we had HughesNet, but it was ridiculous in price and you always ran out of data. We homeschool, so we have multiple laptops and computers going throughout the day and we use a ton of data, so HughesNet didn't work for us. 

Verizon DSL has no data caps, but it is very slow. You can't really stream and whenever I needed to download a video on YouTube, I had to go to my wife's mom's house to use her internet, or I would have to start it at 10 PM before I went to bed and if I was lucky it would be done by the morning. It was terrible internet. 

On top of that, we have spotty cell phone service up here. Always dropping calls and in many areas of the house we couldn't get service. It has been a frustrating 6 years....until now! 

I installed the weBoost cell phone booster at our house and I also put one in down at camp (see video). It is amazing! I also fixed our internet problem. You can watch both videos below. Thanks for checking in and God bless!  -Steve
