Jun. 30, 2008 - Baby goats, baby chicks, baby ducks and baby humans.
Well, Mrs Bennett's 2 billy goats are almost 2 mos old. Billy and Willy spend their days much like my sons do...eating and wrestling. We thought that Harriet was due around the same time, so had given up thinking that she might be "with kid." But last week, she surprised us, when we returned home from the wedding and saw the cutest little back fuzz ball in our barn. Harriet is a good mama, and we have named her new daughter Nellie.
We still have 2 incubators going full time hatching more chicks. This next batch is for some friends though as we have about reached our max on birds for our farm.
In other news, one astute reader (momanna98)caught my hint in my May 29th blog and asked when we were expecting another sweet savage. The answer is: December 27th!!!
My sweet husband, upon finding out about the new arrival asked my due date. When I said, "Dec 27th" he said--"Oh a January baby!" He got poked good in the ribs that night!
I felt a bit rough with fatigue mainly for 6 weeks and am now into the "feeling fabulous" phase that I love so much.
My favorite answer to "Why do you have all those kids?" is one that I first heard from Evangeline Johnson..."We're trying to take over the world...for Christ."
That about sums it up.

Congratulations...I caught that too but figured you'd announce it when you were ready!

I need to remember that come back (taking over the world). Last week on our vacation an old man kept telling me that he hoped I could provide for all the children I had. After smiling and trying to be polite, I went home and prayed for God to give me a scripture for him for the next time. God gave me the scripture: I have never seen the righteous forsaken nor their children begging for bread.

Congrats on all the babies. The goat is so cute! I have a Dec 24th baby (well, he's 6 now). As if juggling the holidays wasn't difficult enough! I hope you don't have the same problem! We were glad to get the tax refund for that year, though. hehe ;-)
