Welcome Spring!!!!


Finally its here! Most of the snow is melted, the tulips are popping out of the ground and the beautiful Spring Rain is coming in!!! The grass is finally turning green again!!! We are soon to celebrate our 1st year of living in Newton!!!
& of course Babies are being born!
So many new additions!
We have three new kids, two billies and one nanny, they are so cute! and fun to watch learn and grow, the two oldest, twins, dont like to be seperated, they are even ok with being away from Mom as long as they have each other! (one boy one girl...) They are all very Healthy and Mama's are doing great!
We have not counted our baby bunnies, because, well there are just too many to count! We bought, 2 baby turkey's, 2 baby Ducks, & 10 new chickens! Amira loves to put her hand in there with the chicks, there is a certain one that will climb in her hand and sleep there. She is so very patient with all the animals. We had quite the fright, last night though when Saydee, the twins mom, decided she needed to protect her kids from Amira, who was all alone in the pin with them. Luckily I was going to check on the other pregnant goat and I heard her scream. She was so scared! I told her, she is just being protective... I dont think Amira will go outside, or in the pin at least, without us.
Our pigeons, are all free, outside, all disappeared but one, the other day they all came back for a short visit, I think to say thank you... The one is still hanging out, but she acts scared and stays in the chicken coup, and sometimes fly's to the patio like she wants back in the house.
Congratulations, Mom & Dad, on your new baby Horse, I will post a pic. as soon as I get one:) So many Babies!!!
Happy Spring Everyone!!!

Hello Again! Finally huh, well, I have had quite a bit of computer DRAMA!!!
So this will be short....
We had a great time at Parent Teacher Conference! It was our first, and we thoroughly enjoyed upsetting the kids' Mom by just being present! Both kids' teachers were great about the whole thing, and in our favor, (to say the least).
Well Reid has a job... I am going absolutely crazy with all the quiet time I have, you'd think it would be great, but It will take some getting used to. I am getting even more organized though! I am awaiting goat babies, while Reid works I am their "mid-wife" he tells everyone. This should be fun huh! We lost several batches, from first time mother rabbits, the ones that have more experience, or instincts, had very successful babies. So lots of happy Bunnies.
I am so ready for the snow to be gone! and for all the flowers to be blooming!
Well thats all for now...
