adorable!

I just have to share these pictures tonight. My parents have some goats on their farm, I believe they are pygmy goats. I have posted pictures before of the kids with the goats, especially the billy goat. Well he got sick and passed away this fall, but not before doing his duty with the little females. One mama, Daisy, had a stillbirth this fall, and the other mama, Shadow, just had her babies. My dad had went down to check on his cattle and found the babies laying in the shed. Shadow had three babies. One baby had already passed away, probably from exposure, another baby was following mama around, looking terrific, and the third baby was laying quietly in the straw, almost frozen to death. My dad took the baby into the house, and has been feeding it warm milk all day. Of course, myself and the kids had to go and see the baby. It is adorable!!! I have never seen that little of a goat before or that young of one. It is sooooo cute!! Here are some pictures of the kids with it. Look at that face, how can you not love it? Even better when it is awake Andrew was excited to see the baby Kade and Mason didn't quite know what to think of it, like it or fear it, hmmmmm? Becca couldn't stop petting the kid I love the kid's little sounds he makes. Remember to pause the sound on my song playlist, so you can hear the video. Like I said, what an adorable creature. I think we will be spending a lot of time with the new goats, loving on them. Stay tuned for more pictures in the near future.
