Lessons Learned on the Farm

• Mar. 21, 2008 - What About Baab?

Guess what was waiting on me when I returned from speaking to a homeschool group in the Lexington area? (Which was SO much fun and really a wonderful treat for me! I'll be blogging more about it later.)

(Ignore the date. The camera settings are messed up again!)

You can't tell much about him in this picture, but he's a one-month old lamb. Tony & the boys named him Baaab, because he is SUCH a talker! If any of you have any good links to information on taking care of little lambs, please share them with me. Right now, all we know is to give him a bottle three times a day.

If any of you have followed along with my blog, you probably know that I have ALWAYS wanted a little lamb because I wanted my kids to see how lambs truly learn their shepherds voice and follow him faithfully.

So, I was very happily surprised to hear this sweet little lamb's baaas over the phone the other night and I know I'm totally blessed to have a family that knows what means so much to me.

I'll write more later! Just had to share the good news really quickly!!

Is this the same lamb you had to put in the chicken tractor? He is a cutie! I know nothing about lambs, only goats.

Hopefully someday we will be able to have a little lamb too. If we ever make it out there, my daughter will have to show you how to clean and prepare a fleece for spinning! Wouldn't that be great!!

She is a little lovely thing.
Happy Easter,
Nancy

He's so adorable! What a sweet surprise for you, and what a blessing you are as a mom to think to give your boys such a visual example of our relationship with our Father.
Enjoy your new baby.
