This Blog is taking the place of my annual Christmas Letter. Since I didn't start Blogging until May, I thought I'd add a paragraph to cover January through April.
I often feel that I'm living life in fast forward - and January '07 definately qualified as that kind of month! Teryn spent 3 weeks in South Texas with his parents and sister to help out with health concerns. That meant that I juggled work, and caring for the exotics and our animals. We had 3 snows during that time and of course the goats all had babies too. The combination of the freezing weather and really large babies caused many of them to have low blood sugar - which looks like dead babies and has to be dealt with quickly or they do die! Needless to say, I had a crash course in infant goat resusitation.
We had a wonderful surprise in February when Sierra had a baby donkey. MiHijo is my dog/horse, and I'm having great fun teaching him his manners, and tricks.
Teryn Lee experienced a major victory in March when he won a Cowboy Extreme Competition. It's a sort of Cowboy obstacle course. It was televised in September on RFDTV. He won a saddle and prize money, but most of all, it opened lots of doors in the horse industry.
I went on an Emmaus walk in April, and had a wonderful experience. I highly recommend Emmaus if you've never experienced it!
I guess that's about it for the first part of the year! No pictures - just a lot of old news! Please scroll through the blog for news from the rest of the year! The blog may make more sense if you look at it in reverse order - May is at the very bottom! I hope you enjoy!
