An Unexpected Post (You weren't expecting it were you?)

Jaws and the twins
Crash and Ellie
     Yes, it's me again. I realize that I probably only have about one reader, so all of you not reading this may ignore the rest of this post. 
     Anyways, it's calving season again! Huzzah! I'm a little bit behind (we've had seven calves already! :O) So to fill you in, here is a handy-dandy chart:

       Whatever (240) had the first calf of the year named Moostakas after the KC Royals' player. A few days later, Jaws (07) had twins! As you can suppose, there was more than a little hyperactive excitement over that. Sometimes a mother of twins will only accept one calf, but she took on both. (Yay!) They are doing very well, and every time you look out the kitchen window you can see them running and bucking in the corrals. It's pretty adorable. C:
     After a short interval, the started coming as regularly as... a regular thing that's regular. We had four calves in quick succession, only one of which has been named-- Everlasting Gobstopper.
