Reiny really enjoys helping at the barns. Everytime she comes with us she screams "Bye Grandma, I'm going to help the baby cows!!" It's really so darn cute! I love when the weather's good enough for her to come with us. She's so funny in the barns. The other day she was helping me clean a stall that had a calf in it and she went and pet him. After a minute she said "Mommy, he's cold." I told her to help warm him up by placing straw around him. I left her to the task and went on cleaning pens. When I came back, she had that calf COMPLETELY covered in straw. I said "Reiny, where's the baby?" and she said "Right dhere, Mommy" pointing to the pile of straw. I couldn't stop laughing and had everyone come take a look at Reiny's hard work!
It's been exhausting, especially since I've had to go home and take care of our 9 baby lambs we've adopted after working all day long, but nevertheless, it's rewarding. I know Reiny's having the time of her life, and that really makes it all worth it!
As a side note, Megan (Chase's wife) has been helping us this year and I can't say enough about how awesome she is! Honestly, I'm amazed at how well she's picked everything up! She so fast and it seems like she never gets tired! I'm amazed and I attribute a lot of our good fortune to her being here this year. I'm so excited to have her with us now. I really look forward to the years to come.
Here's some recent pictures from the barns...I'm post more when I can.
