Long time no blog

Since it has been a while since I have updated I thought now would be a good time.  When we went and pick up Capone there was another little goat that was born around the time we went up there.  I would say he was about a week old when we picked Capone up.  Needless to say I fell in love with him and gave the guy a $20 deposit.  Well this Friday afternoon I went and picked up the new goat.  He was just banded and tagged that day so he was a little grouchy.  His name is Turbo and he is considered Chris's goat.

We celebrated Chris's birthday a little early this year.  His birthday is on the 15th and we celebrated it on Sunday.  Both of our families came over and a couple of friends.  It was fun but a little too chilly to go swimming but the boys went anyway.  We just got the pool a couple of weeks ago and unfortunately we won't be able to enjoy too much of it this season because we bought it so late.  I can't wait until next year when we open it up and have it for the whole summer.

The little chicks and ducks are starting to get so big its crazy.  They sometimes aren't sure of my motives for hanging out with them but Buffy(the Buff Orpington) seems to be ok with hanging out with them.  Nothing else really new to tell.  I'll make sure to take new pictures of the little ones and the pigs too.  The pigs are getting really big and so that means they are almost time to eat :)

On August 5th miss Abigail was born.  She will be our new moo when she is weaned and ready to come to our house in a couple of months.  Jenny is being a good mommy now.  She did have a little bit of trouble at the beginning since its only her second calf and the first one she completely rejected and she had to be bottle fed.   I'm really glad that I don't need to get up earlier and bottle feed Abigail, although I would have probably enjoyed it a little bit.
