This weekend while we were fly fishing at the Back 40 in Fredericksburg PJ came into the world on Saturday afternoon about 4 PM. Pat was looking out the window and saw all the cows grouped around Mary (tho mother cow) so she got the binoculars and was just in time to see the calf drop. These pictures represent the first hours of PJ's (named for Pope John Paul II) life. What a cutey and what an experience.
