Our First Baby!

We went to see the herd yesterday and we thought we were going to get to witness the birth of our first cria! Patience was due in a week or two, but when we were there yesterday, she looked like she was going to give birth. Patience is the one cushing on the right.

Here are a series of text messages we got mid-day today:

"Look what I found. Your first cria, a little boy born this morning at about 9:45 a.m."

 "Trying so hard to stand."

 "Mom, this is really hard work!"

"O.k., I'm up, now what do I do?"

"Figuring it all out."

 "Looking good!"

Isn't he handsome! They asked us if we had decided on a name yet and we have decided that he shall be Timothy. In Timothy, the Bible states that "Jesus might display his unlimited patience as an example for those who would believe on him and receive eternal life".(1 Timothy 1:15-17, NIV). We can't wait to see him!
