Today is the day for lovers! It has been a great day for us. This morning, I taught Toby and Tonya (calves who are about a month old) how to drink from a pail, rather than a bottle. They both took very well to it. Toby gets SO excited though and she put her front feet up in the bucket. It was cute.
After chores, we met my mom for lunch at the Joy Wah chinese restaurant in Bellows Falls, where the boys had a blast eating rice and talking about the woman prepping snow peas. Then my mom took the boys with her for the night.
This afternoon, I baked Joyce a French Vanilla Raspberry cake for her birthday today, and then headed over to the barn to help my love with barn chores. Toby and Tonya did even better with the pails tonight, not even needing direction. YAY! I stayed in the barn and helped more than usual since I didn't have the boys waiting for me. It was really nice. Sometimes I forget how much fun Philip and I have when it's just us. (Well us and the cows anyway.)
We kept our Valentines Day pretty low key, since we just went all out for our anniversary last week. Which is fine. We are pretty low key people anyway.
So, I am ending todays blog, with wishing you all a very Happy Valentines Day, may you all enjoy the ones you love so dearly, not just today but everyday! And also wishing my mother in law a very happy birthday! We love you Grammy Joyce!!

Our Anniversary!!
Philip and I celebrated our 7th wedding anniversary on February 2nd. This past weekend, we celebrated with Philip surprising me to a WONDERFUL dinner at The New England House restaurant, complete with a fireside table. He also snowshoe'd PR+TR 7 into the snow in the field on front of our house!! I can't believe it has been 7 years since we said our vows. I have truely been blessed with my soulmate, partner, best friend, and husband all in one. I could not have found a better match and I love him more every single day!!
Birthdays and an Anniversary!
We have had quite the run of Birthdays in the last few weeks, plus Philip and I just celebrated our 7th wedding anniversary.
Today, February 9, 2009 would have been Philip's little brother Garys 27th birthday. For those who have never heard, Gary passed away 10 years ago at the age of 16 in an auto accident. We celebrated the day with Sawyer and I taking his mom out to lunch, and then this afternoon, Philip and I trudged through knee deep snow to visit his stone. We often wonder what Gary would be like today. What he would have become, would he have a wife? Kids? Make millions? Farm with us? No matter what, we love him and miss him dearly.
January 20th, Philip's dad turned 65. Same day as Barack Obama made history in the White House! WOOHOOO!!!
January 24th, Philip turned 29. The day before his birthday, the boys and I surprised him with gifts and balloons. The boys had a blast hiding out in the dark and yelling SURPRISE! when Daddy walked in the door. Philip was so excited, especially to hear the excitement in the kids voices and on their faces. It was priceless. That night we had Kevin and Stevie over for a yummy ham dinner and cake. The night of his actual birthday, him and I went to the Olive Garden for a "date". It was great. We ran into some friends so the wait was tolerable and the meal was delicious! The boys spent the night at Grammy Kellys house. My sister also had a Birthday recently... (I don't know why but sometimes... my blog won't let me enter to a new line and sometimes it will> Sorry for the funniness.....) anyhow! Kurstin turned 21 on January 31st. We went to Sophie and Zekes for dinner and then to the Heritage for a night of good food, friends, family and music. It was a great night out. HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU ALL!!!
