Relatives..

This past weekend, my husbands aunt, cousin and his cousins son came to visit. Cale is four months older then Molly and they were not at all too sure about each other. (I realized after I already had all the pictures up on this page that the "2nd cousins" part is wrong...technically, my husband and Cale would be second cousins, so Molly & Elsa and Cale would be 3rd cousins - I think I did that right) Anyways, the first picture is of Molly "checking him out"...she was peaking around/under the table. Cale is going to be a big brother in February, and got to practice by "holding" Elsa...Yes, those are bananas in his hair in picture 6 - apparently he was full..
Cale brought Elmo (me-mo), Cookie Monster and Big Bird, and boy was he upset when Molly had his me-mo...after a tense stand-off (they were both giving each other the "evil eye") Molly caved and gave Cale back his me-mo.
Cale must be around the camera as often as Molly, because he was quite the model...however, it made Molly very jealous and she would step in front of him when I would point the camera at him. She also sat down on my lap and would not move. When she wasn't sitting on my lap she was hanging on my arm or holding onto my leg - which made me one happy aunt - she is not usually so clingy to me (or anybody for that matter when I see her) she is usually happiest just kind of running around, so it definitely made me feel good that she wanted me all to herself! I did get a couple pictures of them together, the wouldn't get very close, but they did a good job! (My communication skills teacher would be very disapointed in this paragraph - my sentances are choppy and they don't really "mesh" (as she would say)..I go from one subject to another..Sorry Ms. Regal!
And of course you didn't think I forgot about Miss Elsa this weekend!? She has the biggest smile she is absolutely adorable (and she doesn't cry when I hold her) She is such a sweet little baby..

Chasing goats

I watched my nephew Dylan one afternoon so his mom could go to a doctor appointment - I told her not to put him in nice clothes because he was going to go out and help me do goat chores. That weekend, Molly was at her Grandma and Grandpas and her uncle Tom and I took her out to see the goats...Both of them LOVED the goats (Dylan wasn't quite sure at first)...however, the goats didn't so much love either of them...

I am still here...

For those of you who missed me, I have been keeping busier then ever - I am no longer working full-time for my mom, but I have kept very busy this harvest with the nannies kidding. My husband and his dad thought it would be a good idea to have 40 goats kidding while they were in the field (apparantly they were wrong). I keep telling myself it's not my fault, we lost seven kids in the last three weeks and my mother -in-law is bottle-feeding one. One nanny laid on two of her three, one nanny didn't bother cleaning her set of triplets off and two nannies wouldn't accept their kids to nurse. The one my mother-in-law is bottle-feeding, I think was a "premie"...her and her twin were very tiny and she couldn't even hold her head up, no one thought she would make it, but with my mother-in-laws love and care, three weeks later, she is running and jumping with the best of them. Anyways, I have always like the useless little facts, and I just read one right now: A group of goats is called a herd, trip or tribe. I am having trouble with my moms computer not wanting to upload any pictures, out of six tries I only got one picture to upload, so this is all you get for now.

My three favorites out of this group of kids
