February 1st the babies started coming. For me it is a fun time of year ~ I love the babies. For Jim it is just tiring. He and his dad check for calves every couple of hours during the night. We had cousins here on Monday for President's Day and went over to help feed the twins. Here is Mara trying to make friends:
She decided to see if she had any milk:
John giving one of the little girls a drink:
Shay giving it a try:
Megan finished off the job with a little help from her sister:
What a cutie - Reddy Teddy is what Grandpa has dubbed this one:
Shelby wanting to take the tractor for a spin:
Jim, Megan, & I were home today to feed. It was a busy morning - feeding, switched to calves and their mommas to the bigger pasture, shoveled the snow away from the calf sheds, filled them with straw, Jim pulled a new calf to the barn, and then unloaded the mineral. We did get a little time this afternoon for a nap and a little blogging. I need more Saturdays at home!

AWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW! that is what we all said here! My kids are BEGGING to get chicks. They are at Big R here in town. But we are actually ordering some that have a hatch date of April 12th. I don't know if the kids can wait that long. Baby animals are so cute, but then, just like humans, they grow up......
