It's branding time!

It has been a few days since I have posted b/c we are out of town this week. We are currently at the Merrihew family ranch in the Nebraska sandhills for their annual branding. For those of you not familiar with ranch life, branding is where they put the brands on the calves so that the calves are identified as your own. It is quite a big get together for family and a lot of work as well. The actual branding takes place thursday and friday so i hope to put pics on soon...if you don't see them in the next few days i will get to them monday or tuesday. We are having a good time getting a break from our "ordinary" and it is so great to see the kids have fun with cousins and grandparents. Oh yeah, and the homestudy went smoothly and we anticipate no problems : )
