Not one baby, but two...

Yesterday while walking around Walmart, I received a message from Leasa, who we are buying our cows from. It said "roseanna's in labor!!! let you know asap!!!!"

Needless to say we though that Aeryn was going to faint in the middle of the store. We had not expected to get a message like this for about a month. But here it was. The day we had been waiting for. Unfortunately we were not scheduled to make the drive to Nottingham until today. (I am currently blogging to stall Aeryn from wanting to get into the car right now because we are not scheduled to be there until this afternoon) I am sure that there will be a second blog today for Aeryn to describe her excitement. I am in no way capable of describing what she was feeling inside. All I could think to myself was "But we have not strung the second line of wire..."

Fortunately we drove by the field after our shopping trip. (I in my geeky way, wanted to show my mom the beautiful pasture) What did I see as we drove by, the second line of wire! Jay had been out there working without us. Now all we have to do is clean it up a bit and cut down some wild rose bushes that are falling over the line a bit. Aeryn and I have the best partner in this cow adventure that we could ask for. 

So we went home and had dinner and waited patiently for news of the new baby. A few hours later Leasa again sent me a message. This time she said she had exciting news. I asked if we had a baby and she said no. And then after a slight pause she said "We have twins". Roseanna, the beautiful, hard working, mamma, had delivered twin heifers. It was not the bull that we had been hoping for, but we would work with it. 

So we are about to get in the car so that Aeryn can see all four of "her girls". She has named the twins Rose and Rachel. They are beautiful and we can not wait to meet them this afternoon. 

The one that is facing away from us is Rose!

The one that is facing us is Rachel!
