Animals & Babies

Bryce and Bridgette with one of our new goats (Grace and Isabella). They are Nigerian Dwarf goats, so they are small and easy for all of us to manage. Isabella had a breach baby a few weeks ago, and we lost that one. We are milking her now, so that is an adventure!

Bridgette with one of our new chicks.

Grace had her baby a week ago. It was a horribly, difficult birth; but both mom and baby made it okay. This is our new addition to the family--Lucky. We are loving him already! He is bounding around all over the place and will come and sit on the children's laps.

One of Kenny's snakes had 23 babies a couple of days ago too. He has two more snakes ready to deliver soon also. We won't post pictures due to the sensitive nature of some of our readers :)

The newest addition to our family is set to join us in the next 3 weeks. We are anxious to meet this new spirit Heavenly Father had allowed to come to our family! We'll keep you updated on that.

Karina asked if we could get a couple of puppies now and mom had to say, "We're about babied out here. Let's wait a while!"

Oh, Lucky is so adorable, and I am glad that Nathan and I were able to meet him before we had to leave. What a cutie!!!

Okay, I can never get these comments to work. What a pain. Lucky is so adorable, and Nathan and I were glad that we were able to see him before we left.

It was also so wonderful to see family and be there for Mariah's special day-baptism.
