Pregnant Momma

This pregnant momma, along with her fellow ewes lambed over the Christmas break. I think all of the ewes gave birth to twins. There were some deaths, sadly, but these three were healthy and doing just fine on immunization day. They are so cute!! The kids worked hard cleaning out the stall and spreading out some fresh straw for the last two babies of the bunch. What an experience!!

Julienne-
When I got your email I thought you meant YOU were pregnant, not EWE! Ha ha ha. That is sheepish humor. Anyway, I was scrolling through looking for a picture of you :) Hilarious. What a great experience for your family! Find us a place to live out there--we would LOVE it!

Did you get to watch any of them being born? We tried to catch a birthing for the kids. Alas, they were too quick! How wonderful.

Wow! Were these yours? How cool! I'm more and more impressed by the life you guys live out there. So much natural fun. What a beautiful place to live. You guys do a great job creating these experiences for your kids that they'll never forget. I'm inspired!

p.s. I'm with the other comment made...looking for pictures of you... :')
