Yesterday Madison and Tony had softball practice from 10-12 and then they ran a few errands. She was supposed to have soccer in the afternoon but somehow came up with a sore ankle after her Thursday night practice so she didn't go. She must have gotten kicked off the side of her shin guard or something because her shin is swollen and it's swollen down into her ankle. This is her second injury this season already (remember the back?...and before that it was the wrist?). I think I need to start praying about that...injury prevention. Quinn had baseball practice at 4pm but after 1 hour and snow flakes blowing around, they quit early (thank goodness).
So anyway, Madison and I went with Terry, Karla, Katie and Nathan to the farm that has the calves that Katie and Madison are going to show at the 4H fair this summer. This was their first meeting. The calves are about 6 weeks old. The farmers have a "system" to their naming of the cows because they are all registered. It just so happens that Katie's calf is named "Honey" and Madison's is named "Crisp"... pretty cute huh? We were there about 2 1/2 hours, touring their dairy farm. Twice a day they milk around 210 cows. Wow! It was a very cold but interesting afternoon. Each cow gives around 100-120 pounds of milk each day, this is approximately 15 gallons of milk per day!
Madison meets Crisp for the first time.

Today was church and then to Hacienda afterwards for lunch. This afternoon at 4:30 is Small Group at Rex & Angie's house and that pretty much wraps up our weekend. It sure went fast! I hope you all have a good week.
Love to all, Leah
