Eli got a birthday package in the mail from Grandma and Grandpa! Thank you!!

All the boys loved listening to these books.

                                         Jack loves trains!

                                         Evan liked Eli's scooter and even figured out how to move it.

One of our pregnant ewes started not eating last night and had some discharge. We checked on her during the night but she wasn't due to have her lambs until the 19th. In the morning we put her in a stall and gave her a drench of electrolytes. Later she started straining and we could see the bag of water. We came out to check on her often but she had no progress. I broke the bag and we were reminded of Gladys (and her dead lambs) with the awful smell! We gave her awhile to try to deliver them on her own but I ended up pulling both dead lambs. We gave her some more electrolytes and started her on antibiotics. This evening she started drinking and eating again. We had picked up paints for the bee hives and worked on painting those today. This evening Mel and her family came over to visit. We had a nice visit and the kids had fun together.
