Happily I can report that MoJo and O'Malley were seen "dating" this week. Their courtship consisted of a few games of tag, after which O'Malley teasingly called "You're it!" and MoJo willingly obliged. The act was observed to be a bit awkward,...

Happy Birthday!
If I told you that I had a surprise to share with you,
you would probably guess that O'Malley gave birth.
And if you did guess that,
then you would be right!
O'Malley had two little black and white twins...
one buckling and one doeling.
Thank goodness, too, because O'Malley had had it with the whole pregnancy thing.
She went into labor and in short order and with a little help from Dr. Becky,
delivered a little boy.
After a brief rest period during which she cleaned her little boy,
labor resumed and out came....
a little girl!
We took a little time to make sure they both got the hang of nursing.
Excellent!
Both kids are healthy and beautiful and O'Malley is quite relieved that they are here!
Happy Birthday, Twins!!!
PS...tomorrow is my birthday, and I will be turning 39....
(which would please my mother to no end.)
However, my soon-to-be 30-year-old daughter isn't buying it!
How well I remember turning 30...as if it were just yesterday!
(25 years of yesterdays ago!)
Oh, and have I ever told you...
there is nothing that makes my heart go pitter-patter
like a piece of heavy equipment!!
Many thanks to our friends at Valley Ag and Turf for loaning us this wonderful back-hoe!
What fun we will have this weekend!
