Calving Season, 2016

Published: Feb 11, 2016 by Kay Schrock · This post may contain affiliate links · 1 Comment

Calving season is upon us again. And my husband is on night duty - 7 day a week.  I am so thankful we have a large house, so he can get some sleep during the day! I mean, we have 5 kids, and they are not quiet! 🙂

Meanwhile, I am trying my best to stay on top of schooling 3 kids, caring for a baby, and keep a 3 year out of trouble! Whew! I'll just tell ya right here; I am not doing it. I am not 'staying on top'! I am sliding into a hole. I can't keep up with everything. But that's ok. I am doing my best, and what work doesn't get done today will still be there tomorrow. 😉  I am very much sticking to the basics. School is obviously a top priority, and meals and laundry. Cleaning gets done in fits and starts. My kids help a ton, and ya know - when you have a 2 month old baby, it's ok to just do the basics, right?! 🙂

The sunrises gleaming golden and peach on the snow makes for beautiful mornings! I never get tired of the view from my window...12640345_10205955384945463_7447383232765907524_o

I walked down to the calving barn this week, to see the new babies. They were mostly sleeping, but I got a few shots. This lil guy had a rough start and was staying in the barn to get warm and healthy.calf This cutie was just soaking up the sunshine! I need to go down more... those babies are so cute. IMG_6662How's your calving season going? Do you sleep alone during calving, too?
