....Calves # 2 & #3 were born on Valentines Day. Unfortunately calf #2 didn't make it. It died a few hrs. after it was born which we discovered later was due to a birth defect. So sad. Calf # 3 was born late afternoon. We knew the mom was in labor, but it was too cold to just stand outside and watch so we missed the actual birth. We were there minutes after the birth and all stood by the fence watching the calf try to get up. Pretty amazing.
....Ericka spent 10 days in Nicuaragua with a group from our church that went down with Lyn's sister Maryann & Kirk. I am hoping she will do a post about that.
....We spent time at our Pastor's Conf. which was in southern IN this year. We flew to Louisville for that and then we flew from there to another conf. in St. Petersburg, FL which began the day after the first conf. Kinda crazy, but nice to get away. The second conf. was held at a hotel right on the beach and it had some free time mixed in so we were able to enjoy the beach and the warm weather too. The kids were all still alive when we returned so I guess they made out ok in our absence. It's nice to be able to do that, although the mom still wonders and worries.
....It was also the month for science fair projects. Not the most favorite event in our house. We were all pleasantly surprised to see that Dwight's project took 1st place, Renae's got 2nd and Devan got a 100%! Maybe all these years of helping kids with projects is starting to pay off.
Unfortunately, not one picture of these events. :(
Good job with the science fair projects! I'm expecting (and fervently praying) that Shaun will happily help the kids with that when the time arrives.
