Kids Almost Three Weeks Old



and I feel like I'm goin on 80! Questioning if I'm cut out for this venture. Probably nothing a little Xanax wouldn't cure ;-) Hope seems to be having a time of it keeping all four kids looking well fed so I've started supplementing a couple of them. Of course the one little doe Khloe is the smallest of the foursome and she thank goodness took to the bottle without hesitation. She was finding it kinda hard to knock her brothers off one of the TWO boobies when a couple are twice her size. So it's twenty some trips a day to the barn to gorge Hope with grain/herbs (in an attempt to keep her producing enough) and bottle feed the other two. The whole time I've got pubescent Gizmo who is attempting to show the world that even IF he doesn't have the family jewels anymore, that he is indeed a BUCK! Try and explain that politically correct to guests who come out to look at the sweet baby goats (usually with their own babies in tow). And then there is his OTHER new little caper of anytime I look like I'm going to sit down, he sneaks up from behind and if I have my hair in a ponytail, he YANKS it about clean out of my head! In between all the suckin, humpin and thumpin the kids have been totally entertaining. Still amazed at their rapid development at such a young age. Its like they were born ready to roll! Spring loaded and quick as greased lightening! I can foresee next weeks scenerio already... being out LONG after the sun goes down....trying to herd the miniature antelopes into their foot and a half wide by two foot tall barn door. Wonder if I could teach Weeny to do it?? ;-)



Haven't had much time to take pic's but above is grandson Ty Parker when he visited last weekend with his buddy Socks.
