Got some fun Christmas eve photos this morning. Phil and I hauled in a load of firewood the other day and Finn claimed it. Look how proud he is! You’d think he cut these trees down and loaded them in the truck all by himself! Tigerlily is only a month along and she’s already picking fights with … Continue reading Christmas Eve Characters
Sarge, or “the little peanut” as we’ve been calling him, needed help on our walks for the first few days. His mother seemed determined to start bringing him as soon as possible, and he did his very best to keep up, but he’s very tiny and kept getting trampled by bigger and faster goats. So … Continue reading One big, happy family
Our last 2018 kid was born on May 31, and we rounded out our Beatles-themed season by naming this little guy “Sgt. Pepper.” It’s only fitting to have nine babies in a Beatles-themed year. He’s a tiny little peanut, weighing in at only 5 lbs. at birth. Once we dried him off he felt like a little ball … Continue reading Revolution…er… Goatolution 9
Penny loves to be picked up and held. Rita loves to tease and play but doesn’t usually want to be held. She’ll sneak up behind you and grab your hair or poke you with her hoof and then race away in glee–mischievous little stinker! But once in a while Rita sees Penny sitting cozily in someone’s lap and … Continue reading Catching up

Like most kids, they love to use the dining room table and chairs to play “fort.” When Phil gets up to grab a snack, I get TWO baby goats! Penny and Rita came for their first walk the other … Continue reading They grow so fast!
Penny and Rita are really getting active, and Jezebel is starting to take them around with her to graze with the other goats. For most of the the first week she hung around the house with them. But now they’re bouncing and running, and I’m guessing they’ll be accompanying us on our daily walks in … Continue reading One week old!
Penny and Rita sure are cute. They’ve come in to help us watch movies these last two nights, and now Phil and I each have one in our lap to help us with office work. Rita’s ears were lopsided for the first two days and it was adorable! One up, one down. I took a bunch … Continue reading Babies in the sunshine
It may be “old news” by now, but it’s exciting news! Here are the photos from Sunday’s exciting kid delivery. Penny Lane and Lovely Rita came into the world on a sunny but windy Sunday afternoon. And let’s just cut to the pictures! A bright new Penny pops into the world! What a cute little … Continue reading Old news
We’re covered up in girls this year! Jezebel delivered two fine, healthy doelings this afternoon! First one is all dark chamoisee like her mother. Second is chamoisee with a blaze face and a white splash on one side. They were four days overdue and good-sized. Both weighed about 8.5 lbs. They’re very strong babies and … Continue reading Girls! Girls! Girls!
