I am so incredibly grateful for your example of humility. In this crazy world, you provide a sense of the life that is good, kind and generous. Keep doing what you’re doing, and know you’re loved and appreciated for the honest, simple truths you demonstrate.
When Kinsley pulled that cart with her siblings, it gave me soooo "Little house on the prairie" vibes. You provide the best environment for your girls to grow up!
I want Kingsley as a daughter. Love her energy. Love her helpfulness. Love how she takes care of younger siblings. She is a blessing😍😍. I wish you a great healing journey as you continue to process your pains and get through them. Thank you for encouraging the rest of us.
You are building like my Grandfathers and Daddy did. They used whatever we saved from other builds. I even helped add a closet on my bedroom so I had a walk in closet. I would like to ask for y’all to remember me in prayer. I am scheduled to have surgery on my heart to repair my mitral valve and one artery that is blocked. I pray always for your family.
Kinsley my dad was a carpenter and he was always making something for the farm or the house I was his helper always 2 steps behind him . It's so cool to see you helping your Daddy ....its something you will always remember.
Your kids are so adorable, your property is a dream, and you two are just so laid back, very normal couple. What a gift to watch your vlogs. Best from Canada!
The Congellier Family Homestead is growing and looking good 😃👍. As the years go by,I envision you having a full fledge homestead with a barn,a cow,a goat,some pigs and some horses along with your garden,chickens,and ducks. The girls should get into 4H and enter some of the farm animals into the county and state fairs. They might enjoy that plus it teaches them responsibility and it's a great activity to do being homeschooled to get extra credit.
I totally do this! I'm still mourning my failed egg retrieval back in October of 2021. I have gotten chicks, ducks, turkeys and two puppies! I'm right there with ya! 💜
You guys are seriously parent goals! I tear up watching every time. Just watching you with your girls, watching the girls and how loving and smart and helpful they are is so sweet. Thank you for sharing it is my favorite part of my day!
Phil & Alex you both are beyond amazing human beings. You give back to your community even when you’re struggling with so many things…and the way you love your kids & each other is so beautiful to watch. Praying for your family’s happiness & that you get your miracle baby🙏❤️
Alex, may you find healing and take peace in knowing that you are blessed with 3 beautiful girls, a wonderful family , supporting husband and a beautiful home. Although you have heartache in the loss of your boy look to the good and the blessings. There are a lot of people that don’t get that opportunity. Much love,hugs, and prayers sent to you both.
I cannot believe how much help Kinsley is for any projects around the house! Then Ashley does her share too and helps to take care of Cassidy! Perfect family! Think maybe God wants this to be your complete Family!!!
The girls are so sweet, smart and helpful!! I absolutely love watching the girls and your family living the country life!!! Kinsley is such a helper…. Well both girls are! Praying that God will continue to heal your hearts as you grieve.
Thank you for sharing your journeys. Including your pain, mistakes, and issues is a true blessing to all of us followers, because it helps us to know we are not alone. Praying for you, and again, I'm so sorry for your loss!
My adopted daughter loved being right by her dad learning how you do things! She and her husband have bought several homes, and what she learned as a child has come in handy for her as an adult. She and her husband make a great team!
I love watching how the girls are helping! When I was a child my parents used to say "thank you darling, without your help, I'd have done it in half the time".... it took me years to work that one out! Then I used it with my children!
You are continually in my prayers! Having suffered from infertility myself I feel your pain. God never closes a door without opening a window. It will happen, I feel it in my heart! God Bless you Alex, Phil and your beautiful girls
Phil, You have such a good helper. Reminds me of my granddaughter. I taught her about everything I knew to so she could fend for herself and be independent.
I cannot express adequately in words how grateful I am to you guys for sharing in such a real way how you are navigating your journey with Christ. We have been going through IVF for a few years now and it has been a challenge holding onto faith through each failure. But you have been such a massive encouragement to us. Thank you.
I saw a homesteader build a double fence around their orchard. It's an old and trusted way to keep deer out. The second fence is about 6-8 feet from the first fence. Deer don't have depth perception. They can jump high, but can't judge the distance to jump two fences, so they go around it! The space between the fences is perfect for a chicken run, but they can't get into your garden!
So incredibly sorry for your losses. You have been through so much. Your children are adorable as are your Golden retrievers who you clearly treat with an abundance of love and care. Good luck with your plans to grow your family x
I'm so sad for you but I am mostly hopeful and grateful for you sharing your ups and downs. I cried real tears of joy for you with Cassidy, and I just knew she would grow up healthy and happy with you all. Looking forward to watching you grow your happiness and keep moving towards your goals!
Putting on Worship when you have no hope is totally awesome! Turning to God In that time is exactly what we should do. We turn on worship in our house on our Alexa dot when we are dealing with stuff...or not, dealing with stuff. Even if it's on at a lower volume all day and night. It really helps the atmosphere in our home be more peaceful and it totally helps us reset ourselves.
Kinsley is a beautiful child! All your children are beautiful! I just happen though to notice while she was carrying the phone how gorgeous she is getting every day!
I don't watch much RU-vid or other families. Between you and Fathering Autism that's all I follow. I love watching you amd your family because of the honestly, the realism, how much your family has helped me find joy in my dark times and see true strength that helps me stay positive and motivated. I feel for yall now in such loss and smile with you through the new additions to your homestead. As a Mom of 3 myself I learn patience and how to better be a teacher and model of great behavior to my own 3 based on how yall are with your 3 cuties. Love yall
Phil and Alex and precious girls, just want you to know you are all special people to me! And always warm my heart🦋 not to mention, put a smile on my face too🦄🌺☘️🌷🐥🐥🐥🐥🐥🐥🐥🐥🐥🐥🐥🌞👍🏻
Your vlogs remind me of The little house on the prairie, there was ma and pa and 3 girls and then they had a son whom they adopted.. One of my growing up favourite programmes.
You are giving your kids such a great life.. I pray you have many more, whether adoption or natural 🙏🏼 I feel your pain. I had fertility issues too! My thyroid levels were fine but I took iodine ( lugols) & 3 kids in less then 3 years!! And now 11 grandkids! YOU have so much to look forward to!! 💓🙏🏼💓🙏🏼
My heart goes out to you both. Virtual hugs. The one thing that puts me in awe everytime is how you guys handle life. You guys are just my favorite RU-vid family. Thank you for sharing your life with us. Thank you for being open and real with situations you guys go through. Both of you express emotions and feelings so so well. Here's to the spring season and I can't wait to see how the garden comes along!!! Love you guys!
I love watching your family!! I love that the girls enjoy getting involved, as well. Thank your for sharing your lives with all of us!! I am just over two years out from losing my husband to lifelong health issues and I needed your encouragement today!!
This was a heart warming video. I like the if it is free it is for me too. I became a single parent of 9 children. I found God cared if my children needed clothes. So when they needed clothes I would have someone call me to ask if I wanted some clothes. They were worried it might offend me. It never did. Or we would have bags of clothes show up on my porch. One time someone took my sweet teenage daughter to buy a dress. They found the cutest one for $10. She wore it for a few years. I am loving watching your homestead grow and you mature in your skills. Your garden is so much for productive now. You know what to do about the baby chicks. This is all so fun. I know it is hard to not have a baby coming. You both have healthy ways of coping and supporting each other.
Hang in there! Grief will ease in time! Have been sending thoughts and prayers your way. I love your garden, your chickens, the way you make bread… If I lived closer, I would come play some peaceful music for you. It always helps me when I am saddened by loss. 💖
Your garden is looking absolutely WONDERFUL! I've been off RU-vid for a bit due to a move and such. But watching again and seeing all you you guys and how much the girls are growing. Made me so happy. The way Callie held the chicks and Kins bonnet! Omg! Stinking adorable! Also in a sadder note, I wanted to tell you guys that you guys are in my prayers. I'm so sorry about the IVF lose. I wish so badly it could of been different for you guys.
I so did this about a month ago I have over 60 hens with roosters and I was going through postpartum depression my husband blessed his heart remember that on my baby loss in 2020 the only thing that got me through was baby chicks 🐤 so on this loss yr 2021 he took me again and told me get as many as you want so got me 25 more😊 now I'm better it's so therapeutic to me Good bless u and sending u good vibes for a sticky baby. Myself I have 1 son he's my hero my heart warrior he's amazing and amazes me every day Good bless ur wonderful family
Mama always said...there are 2 times to praise/pray....when you feel like it and when you don't feel like it. She was a prayer warrior. Raised 7 girls and 6 boys plus lost one boy. Had 3 in 2 years. That's a lot of babies. Especially if you have one in january and one in December of the same year. She spent so much time on her knees. When you get so into praying that one of the kids climb up on your back and goes to sleep, that's praying. I have seen her on her knees at the couch praying and my daddy would reach around us kids and hit her with his fists. That's a prayer warrior.
I am praying for your family. I haven't watched in a while because my daughter has had two miscarriages. One in October of last year and one in February of this year. My heart was broken for her. She wants a child so bad but I think she is at the point where she is not sure if she is meant to have one or wants to go through all of the devastating emotions again. Altogether she has had four. So I am praying for your family and for my daughter and son-in-law. So happy that you have the babies that you have including the furry ones.
SAME Philip! We have 33 chickens, 7 chickens, 2 hogs, 3 horses, 3 dogs, 13 cats 🙈🙈 2 parakeets and 1 hamster. My daughter wants bunnies as well. Cheap wood, reusing scraps, repurposing is the best
Mikenzie's determination is amazing! What an amazing young lady! And little Cali is so so sweet, she so wanted to be able to get Cassie in the work wagon. Just needs a little more growing time bless her heart! And baby Cassie just needs to be out and about with her sisters! ♥♥♥ Your family is beautiful, and some of the saddest words I have ever heard Phil, "we have gotten good at loss". I wish no one ever could even say that, it breaks my heart for you! I know that you will repel forward, because that is who you are as a couple, you feel, the hurt, the pain, the loss, the tears, but you will repel forward. Take your time, take your time!!! :'( ♥
I know you're in a sad season of your life but it was so wonderful to see this vlog today. It was just really nice to see your family moving ahead and doing wonderful things!!! I believe you guys will have an excellent garden this year and a beautiful spring!!
I am so sorry for your loss. Thank you for being so raw and honest it helps me get through my losses and things when they are hard. When I start feeling the loss of my twins (it’s been 25 years but it still hurts like it was yesterday) and I watch your vlogs it reminds me of Gods love and Gods grace and Gods timing even through the pain. I feel your faith and love and kindness through your vlogs.
I'm so so sorry about your IVF. I have been there 3 times myself. I pray your family continue to grow weather it's through adoption or fertility treatments. God bless your whole family
Alex and Phil, I hope that you have been to a ramp festival by now. You are in Tennessee now and there are ramps "wild leeks" everywhere. If you like onions and garlic, you would love ramps. There are specifically ramp festivals peppered all around through East Tennessee. I believe Phil would love it and the kids would have fun.
Day by day life changes for all of us. I'm learning to be content in whatever state you are in, because God made this day and next day after. Being kind and giving to one another is the best medicine. Your time, a few words, or even chickens or a loaf of bread. You are wonderfully made. I grateful you share the good the sad and the gift of God to your supporters. 👍❤️
My heart hurts for you guys. I understand. I love Kensley's bonnet I remember mine as a little girl I loved it. I actually wish I had one now for days I spend in the yard. Tha garden is great and the gate is perfect!! The lights are my favorite!!
You both are so patient with your girls. Kingsly will definitely grow up knowing how to build things and I am sure the others will too. You are giving them a great life on your piece of paradise!
Hi Phil, when you said that when life gets hard you Worship I couldn’t agree with you more. Worship is what gets me through the dark valleys, and I have had many in my 77years, and probably will have more, BUT my Jesus, The Shepherd of my soul walks with me there. A few hours ago I found a song called I SPEAK JESUS by HERE BE LIONS, it speaks loudly to our hurting hearts. Bless you and your beautiful family.
I loooooove Kinsley - such an old head on young shoulders. Beautiful vlogging Kinsley. See her pulling the cart ! Course I love Cassidy and Callie too but just saying .They are lucky to have such a grown up sister. Xxx
Your family is great... a friend was going thru the same as you and at the time I just felt in my heart they had so much going on in their life and I felt I was to tell her, it's not the right time, they ended up have 2 beautiful girls naturally... stay positive and your halfway there... God Bless You
It is so good how your girls are always ready to help with any of your projects you should be very proud of them they are a Credit to you both . And the garden is being to look great well done 👍and I just love your baby chicks 🐣🐣🐥🐥
Yaw are such an inspiration to me I love that yaw are real and honest love the way that yaw give back but most of all I love watching your family work together the girls like being outside and working and learning
I'm so thankful you guys show God's love!! It's so great to help people out!! I'll trade you climates!! We had freezing rain most of the day yesterday, it's coming again tomorrow and then again on Thursday.
Your family is amazing. I love seeing daddy and his girls working together. I also love Kinsley bonnet. Just like Mary and Laura used to wear. Soo cute. Love you guys.❤️
I am absolutely in awe of your candor and ability to share your experiences, good or bad❤️. I truly wish that this sort of information and support would have been available when I went thru infertility a decade or so ago☹️. Thank you for bringing your heart and caring soul to many who truly need it. I hope the journey ahead for you is filled with joy, love and luck🙏🏼
Phil, beautiful attitude. Thank you for your wonderful example!! You and Alex are both wonderful teachers. I am so grateful for you!! God Bless you all!
I’ve been praying for your family every day and am so sorry for your loss. You are both such amazing strong and loving family and I just know god has such great plans for you all.
I’m so sorry that your ivf failed. I wish I could do something but I’m sending hugs and prayers to you and your family. I love your homestead. I hope that I’ll be able to do some similar type of living when we more to southern Tennessee in a few years. Sending hugs and prayers and lots of love. ❤️🙏❤️
I've watched your journey and your family is such an inspiration ! The content and truth and love and all emotions involved are amazing ! Watching the kiddos grow up is a blessing. Thank you for letting us share in your life.
I just started watching you guys … I’m so glad I came across ya’ll! What a beautiful family!!! God Bless you all. Great idea on the grass seed and I’m totally watching the door building. ( my door broke off on our old fence )I have a area that I’m turning into a garden ( first time) .
I saw on a few tik- toks that you can grind up orange grinds and put in garden. It helps keep bugs from eating plants. I’m sure there’s more info out there.
I can not wait to watch the girls when they are older. I can’t wait to hear them repeat all the things daddy has taught them. “Measure twice cut once”. It’s just going to be the cutest!
That Kinsley is such a kountry gal in the making! …I love your girls , Phil you a excellent dad and making them girls not afraid of gettin in that dirt..🥰
I am praying for peace, comfort and joy to wash over your family. Take refuge under His wings. He has a plan for your life. He will NEVER leave you or forsake you. I am on disability in Australia. With the rent rise and huge rise in food...I very often forego food for 3-4 days or only eat once a day. It has been a huge rise in meat and healthy food. The lollies and chips: soft drinks are often marked down, very cheap but a loaf of bread is a minimum of $5. Meat for 3-4 meals is easy $35-$40. Tomatoes were $7.90 / kg. Kinsey is such a big girl.
