Bath time

I thought I would get a picture of her while she can still fit in the sink.

New kids!

Saturday was full of excitement at our house.  We had been on goat watch because our Nubian, Rita,  was due on Sunday.  Katy and I checked her before lunch.  It looked like the kids had dropped but there was no other evidence of labor.  After lunch Nick went out to check her.  He came running up to the back door.  The kids were out!  I thrust Talia into Brian’s hands and ran outside.  They were standing up, wet, and crying.  Everyone snapped into action.  We had to move them to an enclosed barn and get heat lamps on them.  Our friend and goat mentor, Amy, came over right away to help us out.  We have two kids – a boy and a girl.  They are doing well and have yet to be named but here are some cute pictures of them.

Snow Day!

Our dining room table

Our dining room is a bit odd shaped so when it came to looking for a dining table, nothing out there really fit what we were looking for.  We also needed one that was large.  So we decided to make our own.  It is square and fits 8 people easily – more if we squeeze a little.  Brian did the bulk of the work with some help from the boys.  I think it turned out great.

By the time I got my camera the color was past it’s peak but still pretty.
