Correction! One baby girl.

One baby boy.

Once the sun came up we took a better look at everyone's anatomy and adjusted the farm log book accordingly. Both are healthy and happy. Crimson is taking great care of them. The white one is most definitely a loudmouth diva.

I had toyed with the idea of naming them Liza Minelli and Aretha Franklin. (my favorite divas from the Snickers commercial!) but fortunately we discovered that Aretha was really a boy before the name stuck. And then we discovered that my sister's old reliable horse died yesterday just about when the babies were born, thus we named the white girl, "Bailey", to honor Danna's horse. Someone has already tentatively spoken for the little boy so I'll let her name him.

I LOVE baby goats. I love crawling around in the stall trying to take pictures of uncooperative babies and mammas who keep mugging the camera. Here is a smattering of our morning:

Congratulations! Our own wooly tide is under way as well, two sets of triplets and two set of twins so far. Lots of lambie pictures over at www.thedancingdonkey.blogspot.com if you need a fix:)

Oh Yes! I definitely need a fix. We didn't breed sheep this year, just the dairy goats, so we won't have nearly as many babies as we normally have.
