We have a name! Our little sweet boy, born on Easter Sunday has been given the name Frankie! Frances is a family middle name. My mom, my daughter, Robin, who started all of this, my niece, my nanny, Doug’s mom and sister all share the middle name of Frances. And of course, there is St Francis and Pope Francis. All of the name sakes were caring, loving humble people who lived life to better others. We hope our Frankie will emulate those qualities as well. So far, so good!

It’s a girl! Meet Heather’s daughter Heidekraut! We will call her Heidi unless we are mad at her and then it’s Heidekraut, which is Heather in German! She is as sweet as her mama and big sister Joyce! She had a bit of a rough start but all is well now!

No calves yet! We think Cosmo, Poppy or Heather could have one any day now! We've been running a little competition, whoever guesses the closest to the date and time of the first calf could win your choice of a t-shirt or face creme. If you haven't guessed already, feel free to put your guesses here! Bonus points if you guess who will be the first mama to give birth.

When visiting Norway, my Sami mentors told me that the April snow was to lay a clean blanket down for the calves to be born on. Well we just got four inches of fresh beautiful snow! Come on Cosmo, Poppy and Heather, we are ready!
Here is Cosmo, waiting patiently for her calf to come!
