Bad News First

So to look at this picture is nothing compared to what it looks like today. This poor little girl has got the blackest eye. When I was watching her, she went into the garage and stood up on a chair to get a leash down for her dog. Well the chair broke and she feel down 3 cement stairs and hit her head. Oh yea....I freaked out. It took me a minute to collect myself and then to make that phone call to her mom. I just told Desi that she just got hurt and she better come home. I tried to be calm, mmmm not sure if I was. You will have to ask Des.

I had asked her if anything else hurt and she said no. Well now she not only has a black eye but fractured her wrist and she is now in a cast.
Now for some good news-I think?

Jed and I have been wanting to get a bum Lamb for the kids to play with while they were young and then we were going to ship them off when they got big. Well I finally found some lambs but they were clear down in Fountain Green. By the time we decided we were going to get them I found an ad for dwarf goats. I thought..."MMMmmmm they could eat the grass down in the pasture and the kids could still play with them". So Jed and I grabbed Evva and Briggs and took a trip up to Clinton to get 'a' goat.

We were only going to get one but if you bought 2 then it was cheaper, besides they were so stinkin cute!

The first day home they would not eat. I was getting pretty worried about them. I called the lady we bought them from and she asked about the nipples we had bought. We had gone to IFA and got some big black ones. She suggested getting a baby bottle.

So we ran to the store and got a couple of bottles and today they finally eat. The black one is a girl and the tan one is a boy. "FIXED" . I think the girl was the runt. She was the smallest one of the bunch. She was lookin pretty skinny today but I think she will start to fatten up now that she is eating.

When I got home tonight from a baptism, they were so excited to see me. They both climbed on me but the boy had to get right up in my face and lick it. Not sure but I am thinking they are thinking I am their mom.

They are pretty cute!
