Ok, so I finally took my camera out......

And these snapshots are the result. Since I haven't taken pics of the kids since they were newborn, its about time. Unfortunately not all the kids would oblige, Miracle and my newest Lamancha breeding buck stayed right on top of my shoes, so no pics of them!

And my boys. Since losing my two senior bucks to the hay issue, these young guys are the future. Dune I used heavily last season, but Ichigo and Fizzer will be used for the first time this fall.

Beautiful! The losses to your herd are still so heartbreaking. I'm glad to see you looking forward though. *hugs*

Patrick and his best bud, Sethos. The cat is a saint!

He and his parents are going to be moving about an hour away as soon as they can find a place. That will put them near his daddys work, but I am going to miss having him around so much. That smile in the morning and those chubby arms reaching out......sigh.....the beginning of a good day.

Patrick is adorable! I love the eyes and those cheeks! Those cheeks are for smooching! I love your goat they are very pretty but I'm in love with your cute nephew and your great Dane. You have the most beautiful animals.

BEAUTIFUL goats!!! The little one is quite adorable too. I just love babies and I can see why you will miss him. My family has noticed that since I have gotten new babies, I dont drive my 22 year old crazy for a grandbaby now.

Fizzer is quite striking also! If I didn't have a SPOTTED Nubian buck I would have a BLOND one. Seems that I have seen interest in blond Nubians a lot lately.

Very pretty, I was taken by your expression when you held Jubilee the other day. You will make a WONDERFUL mother someday!

I think Fizzer is very handsome too... I have two of his sons (5weeks old).. neither are blonde, but the one we named Mr. Wrinkles looks a lot like dad body-wise... he is a light brown, almost like a coffee with tons of cream mixed into it.. no red at all (the brother is red)... I too have seen quite a bit of interest in blondes (got several calls & emails from people color shopping for them)... I have two blonde does, might just have to breed them to Mr. Wrinkles someday (I brought them both home to decide which one to keep... first I like McFly the best, now it's Mr. Wrinkles... BUT.. need to get blood drawn and find out their G6S status before I can even let myself think about keeping either... I have my fingers & toes crossed that both will come back normal...

susie, mo. ozarks

Very nice goats Emily & I'm so glad they are all doing well & things are moving forward for you the best they can right now.

Patrick is a little Doll! That last picture of him is so darned cute I want to pick him up & squeeze the little bugger.

Beautiful goaties, as always. And, with Patrick and goats alike, pics are nice, but the real thing in person is much nicer.

Yeah, there is a problem with that.......I believe in the baby having a father......and I haven't yet found someone I liked quite that much. I grew up in such a large family, I almost find it hard to believe when I think that of all the babies I helped raise, none of them were my own. There have been babies to care for most of my life. Now I have precious nephews and nieces. I never get over how GOOD they smell. Makes me want to cry when I realize a child has grown past smelling like a baby.

Jubilee is a doll! All of us were blond and very little hair when babies. I can't get over her hair!

Oh my gosh! Beautiful everything! I had to laugh though because your "saint" has his claws out. That last picture of Patrick is too cute. I don't know how you can resist giving him anything he wants.

Oh my! Tell me you got that cat before May of last year because he looks like my cat that went missing. It's really freaky.

The pics of the goats are nice and little boy is a real cutie, I'm just freaked out by the cat!
