New Life

I finally got the call (From Pete at the barn) Wednesday, May 21, at 5:45 am. The sweetest words "we have a baby". My eyes were so cloudy I'm not sure how I made it down to the barn without hurting myself! He is adorable. The kids are still arguing over names...

New Life is amazing, no matter what the species.

In the Beginning and In the End, God is amazing!

Patience is a .....

Well now it's been a week - no calf. I've been not only waking up BUT getting up every morning about 6:15 (now if you really know me, you know that's not normal!) Just to go down to the barn to see our new baby or to hear Pete call my name and "come see" Obviously the lesson here has something to do about patience, good things come to those who wait, wait upon the Lord, etc.

But let me tell ya, I could teach that ole' cow a few things about birthing babies - and it doesn't involve 7 days of waiting!!!!

Here's waiting & hoping for another morning.
