Nana's calf is here!!!




It was like Christmas this morning! We woke up to a new baby girl calf! We were all so excited to see her, especially the kids. Nana had her during the night so we all missed the delivery. We named Nana's calf, Isabella, after our niece who is currently visiting from Utah. She is excited to have a cow named after her. Our rabbit also had her babies during the night. We were unable to get a picture of them today because Mother Rabbit covered them in straw and her fur to keep them warm. We also did not want to disturb her bunnies very much because last time it turned tragic and none of her babies survived. We are hoping and praying that she will take care of them this time, so we are keeping our distance from them.

We finally got Nana, our milk cow!


Last Saturday, we picked up our latest addition to the farm, Nana. She is the main reason we are here. We have waited a long time for her. Nana is 5 years old and is big pregnant. She is due to have her calf within the next 1-3 weeks. We are so excited! In fact we have a lot of exciting news to report on the farm. Spring is almost here and we are going to have baby animals! Our cow is pregnant, our rabbit is pregnant and our cat is pregnant. So it will be exciting to have new little life here on the farm. I hope to witness their births, if I'm so lucky. The kids are all very excited as well.
