The Busy Month of April

Well, it has indeed been a very busy month. In 5 very short days, we experienced the birthing of one of mama goats, Charlotte. She gave us two female baby goats, Midnight and Charlotte Lilly. Two days later, Honey, our other mama goat gave birth to two females, Caramel Candy and Daisy plus one male, Jay's Wings. That evening late my mother called to tell us that Doug, her husband, my stepfather, and the girls' grandfather passed. The next night, one of our hens passed from old age. So this is the month of birth, death and new beginnings.

The baby goats are beautiful and relaxing to watch. They are full of energy and we have family nights outside with them. Our family nights are filled with chasing, playing, cuddling and hugging God's creatures. Oh yes and lots of laughter!

I have interviewed for two positions with the VA this month. One was in Oklahoma City and the other in Fayetteville. Both are promising and so we have been working hard to rid of the excess stuff. I am planning to sell six boxes of curriculum in May. The last Saturday in April is yet another yard sale with another family joining us.

Hubby has been working hard in getting the utility trailer up and ready for the trip when the time comes. We are planning to take the two mama goats and two baby goats with us, Midnight (which Oldest has taken into her care) and Daisy (which Youngest has taken to her care). Of course, Flower, our cat is coming. All the rest of the farm is being sold to family friends. Wish we could take all but tooooo hard to take the whole farm across country.

Although this month is busy, I don't see it slowing down any in May. Have a short trip planned to see Pacific Coast family. An IEP is scheduled for Youngest. Have three field trips-rollerskating, berry picking and ostrich farm. Curriculum sale and another yard sale to rid even more. And God willing, packing and moving to a new home!!!

Proud Owners

We had a very busy last thirty hours. We are now the proud owners of two baby girl goats. Charlotte is a wonderful mama. She had no problems and is taking care of her darlings well. The first one is grayish-brown and our DDs named her Lilly. The second one is black with an appropriate name of Midnight. We have all agreed that Midnight is a keeper. It was really neat being there for the birthing. DDs got to see it all and it was truelly a miracle that we all appreciate that we were blessed to experience!
