Friday morning, February 7, we received the call from Grandpa Byler that there were 4 cows in the pasture. The kids jumped from the breakfast table to run out and see our first calf before they left for school. Lyn's dream of having cows was fulfilled this past fall with the purchase of 3 pregnant Black Angus; looking forward to 4 becoming 6. Grandma can watch the cows from her sewing room window and periodically calls with "concerns" or updates on what they are doing; since the calf has been born it's been calls of "the calf's been laying down all afternoon" to "I think there's another one in labor." I think both of them are enjoying their neighbors as much as we are.
Shaun says he's jealous.
