Photo: Due date! Wish baby knew.
I've done a horrible job posting baby updates on here. Mostly cause there's not a lot to update. Baby is growing, I'm growing, and I've been expecting to go into labor anytime the last two weeks so it's made it seem like I'm two weeks overdue already even though I'm just one day over due. This is a pic of baby on her due date. She did not get the memo. I had an appointment today and after talking to doctor, we are going to go one more week and if she doesn't show up, I'm scheduled for an induction on Feb 5th. So will Kelsay be born the day before Grandad's birthday or will she decide to come on Super Bowl Sunday and mess up her dad's plan to watch his beloved Seahawks play? Stay tuned.
In other news, everyone else is doing great. We are loving Aaron's sabbatical schedule so far. Working three days a week from home is awesome! We set up an office for him in the guest bedroom closet. It's pretty tight but it works.
Maddy is doing great at therapy, school, and gymnastics. She is learning to add and to sound out words. This week her class studied the country of Turkey and made a really neat display about the country.
Tonight at dinner, Aaron asked Maddy what numbers she new how to add. She said, "I don't know how to add everything , I just know some." Aaron said, "Well what do you know?" Maddy replied, "100+100." Aaron: "And what does that add up to?" Maddy: "A whole bunch." Gotta love it. This girl is never at a loss for an answer.

Animal Happenings

 It looks like the last update I posted on animals was about going to the sale barn and getting cows. As a reminder we got a calf/cow pair and a "weaned" calf: Chloe, Midnight, and Mooey. Chloe and midnight are some kind of black angus mix and midnight is part Holstein. Midnight and Mooey will eventually be our meat cows. We hope to AI Chloe sometime in the near future for another calf. Midnight, her calf pictured below (much littler in the pic than he is now) is a very good looking steer. He could go to the fair if he wanted. This is a picture of him getting out of his fence and coming in the yard. He still gets out from time to time. Having a mama calf keeps both the steers in line though. They are much better about not getting crazy, unlike some other steers we could name from the past, but won't. We ended up having to feed quite a bit of hay this winter as we had snow cover from November to end of March. We got our barn built about January and began collecting more ...

Getaway to Ticks Bend....I Mean Beavers Bend State Park

 Back in April, we decided we needed to do a short family getaway after the semester was over. The last time we'd been on vacation just to vacation (not going to see family in CO) was when we went to San Antonio when Maddy was 3 months old. We found Beavers Bend State Park close to Broken Bow, OK and decided to go there. We booked a cabin in the state park and eagerly awaited the day we could take off for our getaway. We left on Sunday afternoon and stayed through Tuesday afternoon. It was short, but so fun and relaxing. We had no computer and no cell phones while we were up there. We just got to enjoy being around each other and the beautiful scenery.  We built a fire and roasted some marshmallows. Also popped some jiffy pop. Aaron had never done one of those before.  This is a 100 year old cabin they had at the visitor center. I like the mud chinking ( I think that's what it's called). A couple named Comma and Mabel lived in the cabin when the CCC was building t...

Raccoons

We've been plagued with the nasty devils this week. We accidentally left dog food on the porch one night. Fortunately, Aaron saw the raccoon sneaking a snack before he headed to bed. We chased it off but woke up to find one of our chickens had been it's victim. I have been super careful to make sure no food has been left out but the raccoon has been back. I heard a terrible confrontation in the woods on Tuesday night between a raccoon and SOMETHING in the woods. The SOMETHING whimpered as the raccoon hissed and spit. I hope that whatever the SOMETHING was it is ok. It sounded like a dog so I am wondering if it was a coyote vs. raccoon showdown. One of our cats stays out all the time and I thought at first it was her. I was out banging a bucket with a stick and yelling trying to get the raccoon to leave. Turns out the cat was on the deck cool as a cucumber. We had been letting Whiskers and kittens stay outside as well but now we go through the nightly routine of putting them in ...
