All in a days work


This AM we were up and ready to check cows by 8AM. We're calving right now. A couple times a day DH goes out to make sure all is OK. It seems every year he ends up having to go arm pit dip inside a cow and pull a calf out. Yummy eh?? WE found one new calf today and lots of cute babies. One calf died yesterday after it drowned in the creek. I really get disgusted when i hear about things like this that could have been prevented had DH, or his dad, just taken some time to check on them all. DH had to work at the post office yesterday otherwise he's probably had caught the calf. But they also tell me that's just part of the process.

At any rate, i captured on video the entire process from loading the kids up to checking on the cows. Let me know if you'd like to see that.

This afternoon we are leaving for Columbus NE where our really good friend is getting married. We are so happy for him and his wife. They both are in there mid to late 30's, never married, no kids, just no baggage of past relationships. They aren't shacking up and having the traditional Catholic wedding. It's been a long time since I've been to a traditional wedding. WE couldn't be happier. I will post pictures come Monday, of the big event.

I'm rather stressed about how the kids will do but I'm sure will make it thru, with or without my sanity. I was planning on putting them down for naps by 11 today. That won't be a problem b/c Miss A fell asleep on my lap while I talked on the phone to a friend of mine. (SK that would be you, so good to talk to you:)) So it's 1030 and she's sleeping already. C'man just came home from hanging out with DH and I'll get him ready too here shortly.

What are your plans for the weekend? Or what did you do this weekend? The weather here is going to be in the mid to upper 60's. It's about dang time!!
