What's new in February

The biggest news here is that Tyler got a job in Minot with his apprenticeship program, so he's living with us now. It's a lot of fun having him here. He has jumped right into farm life, helping with chores morning and evening. He goes back to Grand Forks on the weekends to check on his apartment, go to his part time job there at the movie theater and plays bass guitar at his church. He gave his 2 week notice to the theater this weekend, so I think he's going to make the trip every other week after that's finished.

I started working with UPS this past week. It's going well so far. Emily was supposed to go home yesterday, but wanted to extend her stay for a few weeks. We quickly took her up on that! She will go back to Texas on March 7th.

Sheryll made me Valentine pancakes. :-) Didn't think of taking the picture until I had already consumed one, though.

Looks like we wore Emily out!

Courtney loves animals!

We found a good deal on a 1994 Yamaha VMax 600 snowmobile. The children have been enjoying it...especially Trevor!

The UHaul isn't going anywhere soon!

Snowflake gets a bottle every day now. We leave Bell outside the stall all day until evening milking, so we give her a bottle in the afternoon to hold her over. We're offering calf starter to her, and as soon as she's eating it regularly we plan to wean her.

It is pretty up here!

Carrie keeps on growing!
