Sorry, all the pictures are a little blurry.
So, let me tell you more about how fast the kidding was. I had just checked her like 5 minutes before. I was straightening some stuff in the garage and I thought I heard her making some noise, so I went around to check and there was already a bubble out.

I ran to the house to get Maurine. Grabbed some towels and ran back out. 2 minutes tops and she had already had the first one and was standing cleaning him off.

Maurine bumped her belly and thought there was going to be another. But she was standing up, so I went into the house to grab my phone. When I came back out she had already had the girl. Maurine said she didn't even lay down, just squatted like she was peeing.

Glad you are getting some does!

Most of our Nigies stand up for kidding too, glad to hear we aren't the only ones.

They are all so cute! Ginger's boy is a nice, stocky goat. I don't know how much the dairy world values those nice thick legs, solidly under him but I look at him and say Nice!
