abelet.

Remember this little guy? 

Abelet wasn't quite so little anymore... 

He left our farm and went to the sale barn a few weeks ago. We all knew that was the plan all along and everyone handled it pretty well. We went out the night before to say goodbye and take some pictures.

I hadn't realized that he would still come running to the fence when Corey or Lawson went out there.
That pulled at my heart just a bit...

Baby Abe... (He was only a couple days old when we got him...)

When we first got Abe, he and Marley were pretty much the same size. Marley may have been a bit bigger... 

Abe was about 850 pounds now. He's grown just a bit! 

Lawson got out of school for an afternoon to go to the sale barn with Corey. I sent him with a notebook and made him keep track of how much the cows all weighed, how much they sold for, etc. Lawson did really well! I think some of our adult friends had more trouble with the thought of selling Abe then Lawson did! =)

Sweet, sweet memories, that's for sure...

I'm always going to love this picture.
