Hi all. Sorry that it has been a few days. And…. Looking back, it has been QUITE a few days. Where do the days go?
We’ve been having some definite March weather – cold at night, warmer in the day. The night weather has been between 0° and -30°; the day time weather has been between 0° and 30° above zero. The last week was supposed to be a good week for photographing the aurora borealis but we had nothing but clouds; it snowed several inches on Friday night and Friday. I saw a lot of beautiful pictures from theAnchorage area. Oh well. There will be more chances.
Tommy’s beef cows have started having babies, usually at night, it seems. Tommy, Seth, and Kevin have a night schedule to keep an eye on the cow. If they need help “pulling” out a cow (or two), they phone the others to come help. We had twins early one morning, but one twin has since died due to pneumonia.
I feel short of news and I know that’s not true so I’ll have to think and write more later.
Amaris has been here a week, staying with Garth and Kim but visiting Seth when he’s around (meals, etc). She’ll be here at least another week.
Ohhhh…. Pat and Beth married since they are now in the US. Peter and Stacey were their witnesses. One baby was asleep and the other was awake for the wedding. I will get some pics off facebook to send you all. They look like they were taken with a phone, but still really cute. Our family is hoping to make the 8 hr. trip down to Palmer, AK to visit them for a few day. They probably will not be coming to the farm any time soon, so this is our chance to see the girls before they get any bigger! Already teething and crawling and pulling themselves up, pretty soon they will be walking!
Some of the kids have been sick with colds, but it seems that they are getting better.
Spring play is coming up this week. I think it is Namaan. Rob has a part as usual. May has been busy making backdrops with some help from Cody and Annie.
Trying to get in my snowshoeing quota before the snow goes away, although there is still plenty of it.
Well, I better get myself to church. More later
