Abigail Elizabeth George!!! 1-27-15

I never dreamed I would wake up to a text message that Melonie and Chris were going to have their baby.  I took off for Methodist in Des Moines.  It was a very long labor for Mel.  I arrived around noon and Abigail finally arrived at 10:46pm weighing 5lbs 4 oz.  She is the most beautiful baby ever.  I was so lucky to be able to be there for the whole delivery.  She did come a few weeks early as she was only 36 weeks.  The original due date was Feb. 19. 

this and that!

We have many different things happen in the last few weeks.  Jacob has been playing basketball every Saturday morning.  Of course we are the EARLY game and have to be there by 8:15 at the latest and usually at least an hour drive!!  Last week Justin and I went and took care of my sister's kids.  Jason and her went on a trip to Sarasota Florida.  She had a medical conference.  They loved the warm weather.  On Monday Justin had 8 caps and 1 filing on his teeth.  They took us to Mercy Medical to have this done.  They did an outpatient surgery for it.  He is getting along great.  After this Saturday we will have a few weeks off from basketball on Saturdays.   We are suppose to have a big snowstorm this weekend.  The boys are really excited as they want to build a SNOWMAN... I just excited maybe I can get my "farm books" caught up. 

2015

So far 2015 has been pretty calm.  Of course the first week of school was very cold!!  Jeremy has been staying busy hauling fuel, taking care of the cows and just helping me with the boys.  Jacob is playing basketball.  So we have games every Saturday morning.  For some reason we have to play the earliest game and we are the farthest team away.  It isn't very fun getting everyone ready to leave the house before 7am....  We lost our dog Ginger last weekend.  The boys all miss her.  She is in a much better place.  Today we actually had some warm weather.  Jacob had an early out.  They had lots of fun playing outside.  They loved feeding the calves and jumping on hay bales.   They always some new plan for outside.  I just love their imaginations.  Jeremy loves that they are all about the cows!!!
