I hope to have pictures for you when we get back (which probably won't be until late tonight because we might visit some friends on the way home).

I can hardly wait to see pictures of the new little darlings that you'll be getting in a few weeks. It is very exciting!

We're back. I could have stayed all day, but my hubby and son were suffering from cold toes (they must not have the same level of goat excitement that I do!). Here's a picture of Kim, Newt, and me. You can see Daisy peeking over my arm too. I think Kim was trying to get Newt to say "cheese" in this picture!

Leaving in 10 minutes... - Goats

For some reason, I didn't get any pictures of the babies playing. It was a riot! I was also hoping to get a couple of my son sitting on the floor with the babies jumping on him, but he acted a bit bashful and sat on the milking stand instead. I'm sure I'll get lots of good pictures with him and the goats once they are here.

P.S. I'm sad that I didn't get to meet dosthouhavemilk...maybe I'll get to meet her when I pick the goats up.

Wow, I need some make up or more sleep or SUN or something. LOL!
We had a great visit. Yup, mammabooh was so caught up in the cute babies she forgot she had her camera but I'm pretty sure she'll be back. I'm sure I'll also go up to visit her sometime as well. What a wonder family! I feel blessed once again for having met them and without a bit of doubt that any goats they get will have an excellent home. I like meeting forum friends!

Not entirely sure if Newt is pregnant so I'm sending in blood to BioTracking. Roseanna ended up coming over anyway and she feels that Newt IS pregnant so I'm hoping for the best. We shall see!

Yeah. The timing just didn't work for me.
I had been farm sitting since Tuesday for a friend and had to get her house all tidied up before she arrived home.
I definitely hope to be there when you pick your girls up. Hopefully, it will be during our lull in kidding.
I do think Newt is pregnant but I have been wrong before.

Ha Ha...I didn't think you looked white in person, but I think I look flushed in the picture. My blood pressure was probably just up from all of the goat excitement!

I sure hope Newt is pregnant. I really want Sweety AND Daisy AND Panda AND Sophie AND Maddie AND ELSIE!!!!!

Hee Hee...I guess I didn't get to spend enough time with her!

My hubby's favorite was Kiddle. He said that she acted different than the others, like she was just enjoying being in his presence. He's very silly.

I can certainly offer you a better deal for Sweety, Newt, AND Daisy! Oh and then of course one of Sofie's bucklings to go with Daisy's wethers.
Me--> <--your hubby

I love when people post pictures of themselves. It gives everyone an idea of who they're talking to, though I forget later on who it was I saw in the pictures.

Oh, I am super excited!

Our son had a taste of milk at Kim's yesterday, and now doesn't even want to let "nasty store milk" pass over his lips. He says he keeps dreaming of fresh goat's milk.

Awww, bless his heart. How funny!! If he thinks it was good frozen , wait until he tastes fresh. I love it warm right out of the goat and strained. MMmmmmmm. I can't wait until Sofie's kids are weaned.
