Friday the Thirteenth!

We were so sure that we would have more "kids" today, but Buttons fooled us! We were out there this morning before 8 to check on the babies and stayed nearly all day, just waiting for more to be born. Much to our surprise, Barney was the first to birth twin girls yesterday, June 12. Wyatt is a very proud goat owner! He's named his kids Pinky and Nanny. Pinky is the one with the white face and pink nose.














We're still not finished with the planting, and unfortunately, much of what was planted and growing is now underwater! The rivers are beginning to look just like '93!
We spent all day yesterday in Iowa City, getting ready for Dennis' knee replacement scheduled for June 20. That's just one week from today! We're hoping to get our hay up before the surgery. It would be nice to have it all stacked in the barn by then, but we can't seem to get more than two days in a row without rain.
There's more, but I haven't posted in so long, I really don't know where to start. So, I'll just add a "family photo". The picture isn't real clear because the camera had been in the house and was cold. That caused condensation on the lens. I learned that it's a very bad idea to take the camera from the house and start taking pictures right away.

Awww the kids are so cute!!!! You could have waited for Barney to clean out (rid of her afterbirth) before you took her picture though! LOL Did you even notice that??? I had 2 little kids - they were the "red" color that your have but only solid. Since they were twins and the only twins I think I knew at the time were the Hauser twins, I named them Jason & Jon. LOL What a hoot. Have fun
