As promised pictures of our calf Hamburger. We call him this to remind the kids that one day she will be just that. There is actually a slim chance we will keep her since she turned out to be a heifer. But we’re not gonna tell the kids that. And I also reminded them she won’t be Hamburger until she’s big and ugly like her mom. *snicker* Right now she’s just adorable. So soft and fluffy.
She’s still young enough that Rob was able to pet her, and examine her to make sure she was a she.
She has two mommys. Betsy the cow, and Cricket the pony. When we found her she was protected by the stump and a downed tree from the back, and her two mummy’s in the front. Both Cricket and Betsy were guarding her. They apparently are going to share custody.
Don’t tell Cricket but her adopted baby’s gonna be bigger then her fairly quickly. *snicker*
Anyhow we all walked out and ewwed and awed. (even let Samuel come). Gotta enjoy the simple pleasures when you can.
And Jeremiah made sure we said thank you to Betsy by feeding her. Well daddy fed her, and then he added his own little clump to make sure he was doing his duty.
Today is a new day. This is the day the Lord has made let us rejoice in the Lord and be glad in it.
After all Jeremiah’s puking sick what isn’t there to rejoice in.
Its GORGEOUS outside, and today will be spend cuddling a sick two year old.
You know.
I’m NOT IMPRESSED!!!!!
I really, really, really, needed a break today. And when I got up and heard that Jer had just puked that wasn’t it. *sigh* Rob has volunteered to take a personal day. I’m soooooooo greatful. I ended up being up with Jeremiah about 5x last night due to his screaming. Now I know why he was screaming. I’m just not very with it to be soul parent to 6. So at the moment Jer and daddy are snuggled up, and the rest of the kids are outside in the sunshine.
Breaths.
I am ready for the sick bugs to be expelled from this house. We had been healthy for sooooooo long, but don’t you think a month of sick bugs is enough???????

I know how it is to need a break. Just some time to breathe deeply and be.
Thanks again for the comment on my site.
Im looking into the info you shared.
I read the link. It makes sence . Just a couple weeks ago I had cut out caffiene completely in addition to chocolate. I did fabulously . I gave in and it came back FULL FORCE. Possibly….
I eat tons of carbs, over eat constantly and sometimes feel like I will never get full. Sad really.
You’re little cow is very cute and so are her two Mommys! Hope you have fun with her.

Hamburger is cute!
awww, the little calf is s-o-o-o cute!
sorry to hear that the bug is still hanging around your house – i agree with you – 1-month of being sick is more than enough!!!
