Post Christmas - Pre New Year

Well, another year of celebrating the birth of our amazing Savior is over.  We've had a very quiet Christmas time up here on the "hill."  It was lovely, although we missed our loved ones near and far. The boys enjoyed their gifts- although not many, they know the real reason of the season, so we don't do a mess of gifts. We'd rather celebrate with family and friends, Jesus, and togetherness. Our love and prayers for a blessed New Year to our friends and family!

We've had a couple of additions to the "family" up here, taking place before Christmas, and all are well and healthy, thanks be to God. The twins worried us at first, since they are pretty rare, especially for a Jersey cow, but they are not only surviving, but thriving!  Molly is such a good momma.  Bad news... the calves are getting all our milk!

Meet Calvin and Hobbes...

Then, a week later, Molly's daughter, Lola, had her calf - introducing.... Blackie!

 

And now it's a nursery... wild and woolly!

We've had a little snowfall this week, much to the boys' delight.

And, much to their dad's dismay... the saturated ground makes for very slippery conditions for hauling water up hill...

Oops... hard lesson learned.

Truck is totaled, BUT, the blessing is we are getting a 2011 Suburban. Yay! This has turned out to be a HUGE blessing in many ways, not just in getting a car whose year actually starts with the number 2 ...  God's plans and purposes are amazing!

            We are all healthy and well, and pray the same for you....much love to you and yours!!
