Anniversary

This past weekend the kids went and stayed a night at each Omie's house so John and I could celebrate our 12th anniversary. We didn't plan to do too awful much since we had already bought a new mattress set for our Christmas/Anniversary present to each other. So Friday night we just went home after eating at Catfish Haven with Omie B and played pool and then Saturday morning we got some chores out of the way (unfortunately the laundry wasn't going to do itself) and after lunch we took a long jeep ride around the pasture and basically just enjoyed the nice weather. We cooked a nice "not-kid-friendly" dinner that evening and ate outside under a coleman lantern (the candles wouldn't stay lit.) We had planned to go dancing in London that night, but that plan was changed after one of the heifers decided to go into labor around dinner time. John ended up having to take her in to the vet at 11pm that night to pull the calf and I stayed home and slept. So much for a night out dancing :)
However, I was glad that we were home to see that she was in labor and help her out. Unfortunately, the calf didn't make it. It was fine when John brought it home, but when he went to check on them in the morning, the calf hadn't moved from where he left it. At least the heifer made it.

Not too much else has been going on. Ashlyn started little dribbler's basketball practice, but we're not sure yet when the first game will be. Colten has been going to cub scouts and is looking forward to making his pinewood derby car.
