TAKING A BREAK FROM BLOGGER

Hello my blogging friends. I'm taking a break from Blogger so that I can get ready to go to my rug hooking retreat weekend.  I hope to have some photos to share with you when I get back  and I'm  looking forward to meet other rug hookers.
My little calf is doing great and she drank two full bottles of milk. She got right up as soon as she saw me coming at supper time and her little bottom was still clean when I saw her last.  It's amazing how fast she got better. But she looks so alone there in her little pen all by herself in the nursery.  Little baby calves brings me so much joy  and so does this little guy.



Here is my little prince sleeping. He's growing so fast.



I love this froggie snuggle thingie. Do you suppose that he'll get embarrassed when his girl friends sees him in this outfit?

I hope that you all have a safe weekend and that I'll be back after a short pause. JB

    to answer you question on my blog. 3 months is about average for a maternity leave. Her mother in law is babysitting so she is very lucky and she has summers off.
    have a great time

  9. Happy to hear calf is doing good.
    I'm thinking some day you may be in a little trouble for the frog picture. But cookies and milk will probably cure all.
    Have a great time on your retreat, they are so much fun. Look forward to seeing and hearing all about it.

  10. Thank you so much everyone for your comments about my little prince and my little calf. I'm still trying to get all packed for my hooking retreat and I'm almost done. I've had another unscheduled meeting to attend today and it screwed my plans but I'll do the best I can with what I managed to pack.
    I'm hoping that everyone will have a great weekend full of God's blessings.I am so grateful for all your nice comments. JB
