no calves yet

Everyone keeps asking how the calving is going and I have disappointed them when I have told them that we have not really begun.  One cow had a calf very early but she was able to handle the situation all on her own.  Then we have had a few others, and finally the first heifer had a calf this weekend.  Luke did give the calf one bottle and it has been find with the mother ever since. 
Allie had a basketball game on Saturday.  Her team finally managed to win a game.  They won by only two points.
We all crammed in the pickup along with Hannah and we went and checked cattle.  Lucky we did, one side of the hot wire fence was down.  So after fixing that we headed back to the house to enjoy the nice weather.
The kids got some drones from Christmas but it has been so cold, or the wind has been blowing.  Finally, they got a chance to fly them on Sunday.  Weston’s would not take off.  Addie and Allie were both able to fly theirs.  The batteries in them did not last long.
Weston was sick this week and kept a little cough around.  He got to spend the night with his cousin and he informed me that he was not even scared. 
My parents came to Allie’s game and my nephew’s game on Saturday, next weekend they will be at another grandchild’s game.  They will be heading up to see my sister and her family.  They have several birthdays close together and enjoy seeing everyone.  Maybe they can take a few pictures of snow so my kids will know what it looks like.
