We still are waiting to announce the "big news" but feel like it will be fairly soon. The fun event we did have this week was the arrival of Nibbles the goat's babies. On Monday morning we suspected that she was in labor. After about an hour, the first baby goat arrived and it was a pretty big girl so we thought maybe there would be twins or triplets. About 20 minutes later, a second was born, another big baby, a boy. A short time later, a third popped out and she was itsy bitsy. We were trying to get these babies dried off when Nibbles pushed out a fourth and it was another girl! Quadruplets! They are all nursing great and up and bouncing around. We are grateful that everything went so well and that we were there to help out a little. In keeping with our Shakespeare naming theme, Addy named them Claudia, Horatio, Titania, and Viola.
Aside from that, we have been working on projects in the yard. Not yet planting everything in the garden since the weather continues to go up and down. We are expecting another freeze tonight and then hopefully we will be out of the cold.
Addy had her National clogging competition at Lagoon and she did the best that she has ever done. Practice surely pays off! The other kids have enjoyed jumping on the tramoline and being outside more. Garrett is ready to take a few weeks off of work when our baby gets here. He was sure the baby would get here early so he lessened his work load and now he is trying to find more to do while he waits- and all of us wait.
