Issac had his 4 month check-up and immunizations yesterday. We went early and visited the nursing home-they all just loved it, and almost everyone got a smile! He weighs 15 pounds now, and has grown to 25 inches long! He just learned how to make razzing noises, so that has been his favorite entertainment lately. He also enjoys rolling around on the floor, chewing on anything he can get his hands on, and being naked! We tried to feed him some rice cereal a few days ago, but he just wanted to spit it out. I guess we'll just keep trying.
Maddy had her first official cowdog training last weekend. We attended the stock dog clinic at the Winter Fair in Lewistown. Bryan and Maddy got to work with a lady who trains stock dogs, Sarah and Issac sat in the car about half of the time since it was below zero all day. We all learned a lot, and now have a good idea of where to start with her training. She has a good start, but now we have a better idea of how to get her to do what we want her to do around the cows.

Issac's First Sled Ride
What a beautiful day! After the 50-60 mph winds last night, the day turned out great. Temperatures in the 30s, and almost no wind. We all needed some fresh air, so Issac got to go for his first sled ride. Bryan was out working in the corral, so we found a smooth drift nearby and went sledding.

Winter Poem
In the spirit of the latest blizzards:
It's winter in Montana
And the gentle breezes blow
Seventy miles an hour
At twenty-five below.
Oh, how I love Montana
When the snow's up to your butt
You take a breath of winter
And your nose gets frozen shut.
Yes, the weather here is wonderful
So I guess I'll hang around
I could never leave Montana
'Cause I'm frozen to the ground!
It's winter in Montana
And the gentle breezes blow
Seventy miles an hour
At twenty-five below.
Oh, how I love Montana
When the snow's up to your butt
You take a breath of winter
And your nose gets frozen shut.
Yes, the weather here is wonderful
So I guess I'll hang around
I could never leave Montana
'Cause I'm frozen to the ground!
Happy New Year!
Happy 2009! May this new year be wonderful for all, a new beginning for hope, faith, love, peace, and happiness.
This was included in an e-mail I received from one of my best friends:
Here's an thoughtful article about chosing a word for the year, instead of a traditional resolution. I think I might try it.
