Looks like it's time for a new post since it's almost been a week! I don't want to lose any of my faithful readers!

Had a great, uneventful weekend. The tractor ride was really, really hot. I haven't uploaded pictures yet (and I'm too tired to run upstairs and get my camera!!) so I won't be posting any tonight. Matthew rode with Rob for a little bit and Jacob rode with his grandpa for a little bit. There was like absolutely no breeze that day. Enjoyed a great meal after the ride and then we headed home for showers!

Jacob has been doing great in pre-school. He absolutely loves it now - we're so thankful.

Rob got a call Tuesday evening from a guy that he used to work with and he wants to purchase every bit of hay that we have left. It has truly been awesome to pay down some (well, most of) of our farm debt...next up is selling the cattle. Rob's wanting to try this for a couple of years. He'll be making and selling his hay...and just buying young cows (yearlings) in the spring and feeding them out over the spring/summer/fall...and then selling them in late fall. With the hay shortage this year it was definitely a smart move for us...prices for hay have been way up...it just didn't make sense to us to be feeding our cows expensive hay over the winter.

Sometime in the near future my brother & sister-in-law in Atlanta will be having their first child, a sweet little girl!! After 8 grandsons (and 8 cousins) for my parents it is definitely time for a baby girl! Can't wait...we're all very excited to soon be hearing the news!
