New Babies!

We have new babies to report! No. 2 had twins. A chocolate brown girl (Abigal) and a black boy with a white triangle on his forhead (will have to get some pictures taken soon and post) As with most cows that have twins, after the first one is born and contractions kick in a second time they lose interest in the first one. Luckily we have a neighbor that is helping out and spotted Abby. Mom, Emily, AC and I went and picked her up and fed her a bottle. Got her set up in the barn and she is drinking a half bottle 3 times a day for the time being.

In other news, no rain, more hot-hot-over 100 hot. I wish that something would break soon. The lawn is toasted, the fields are toasted. The cows have nothing to eat so hay is now on the menu. Going to make for a long winter.

Next week I am headed to Nashville to CKU. This is my first and I am looking forward to going. I have a roomie, Beth from Paducah, and looking forward to making some new friends as well as making some cool projects.

Been trying to decide about going somewhere for Fall break. The kids would like to go back down to Chattanooga to the Aquarium and the Riverfront. I am wondering about losing our week at Mrytle Beach. Decisions, decisions, decisions. Have to crunch the numbers and see I guess.
