These are the new little girls! They are both only a month old (and not bottle-fed) so they won't be joining us for another few weeks.

My girl....she has the cutest little wattles!

Not entirely sure why she was sleeping like this, but whatever!

It took Lyd forever to decide which one was best, but she finally picked this one...a soft, floppy-eared and floppy-bodied baby with long legs.

Now for names! I am "named out" at the moment, so I am open to suggestions.

Meet d'Artagnan, affectionately known as Danny. He was rejected by his mom, Sara, so he is now my baby.

He has figured out how to get in and out of the pen, so when he is hungry, he just climbs out and wanders around until someone finds him.

He came inside today to help make his bottle.

When he's done, he goes back to the pen.

I am not feeling good today (stupid respiratory system - I never seem to get the stomach bugs, but a cold or respiratory something gets me every time!) so I slept in and Lyd found the newest lambs.

Amelia had a ram and a ewe , both white.
