Calving camp at Bar T Bar ranch. Several calves were unable to nurse the moms for one reason or another so we bottled fed them twice a day. The black calf in the background is being grafted onto a new mama by taking on the scent (hide) of the baby she lost. Charlotte (the one in the pic) is the Australian intern... she had a bit of a run in with a mean mama cow, but everyone survived.


Ana and I got the chance to visit the east coast this last week. We saw the sights and sounds; The Big Apple, Quincy Market, Freedom Trail, Irish Pubs and of course a Celtic game. We spent a couple days with the Jensen Family, Amy Orr and Alicia Dunphey, Thanks for the hospitality!

We recieved a invitation packet from the Peace Corps this morning for Tanzania, located in eastern Africa. Our project will consist of enviromental education and sustainable agriculture in rural communities. This includes a range of possibilities; from teaching in primary classrooms to working alongside the farmers in the fields. We do know we will be learning Kiswahili, which is the native language in Tanzania. The expected departure date is June 13 for Washington DC and after two days of immunizations and prep time we will be leaving for Africa. We are unsure of the available technology, but we will keep you in touch as the time of departure gets closer! All in all we are very very excited for this adventure!
love,
Dee and Wyatt
