Hey there!Just when I think I might have a grasp on life and I am getting into the flow of things, it all changes once more. At this point I think I'm more used to change than normalcy. First off, it was about time we started to train our cow, Ginger...

Hey there!It's been just a little over two weeks since our last little bean was born and things are starting to settle in. I said starting, because it's not all settled yet. He gives us a pretty good amount of sleep at night, but not nearly enough. T...
