And now we're all caught up.



Hello. Yes, I know it's been more that a week, and yes, I know some of you are waiting to see more pictures of our other baby goats that were born, but I've had MAJOR writer's block the past few weeks and could not compose anything, even a blog post. Then I thought of the past few sentences you just read and hurried to write them down before I forgot.

More baby goats! Babe and Nyla had their kids two weeks ago. So now we have five kids running around (even though it's cold.) Speaking of kids, I probably should mention that next summer, we will have a new addition to our family. That's right, my mom's pregnant! :) We've known for a while, but I just haven't written about it yet. She's about three months or so along. That would make us a family of nine, so we're excited. Prayers would be appreciated. :)

Alright, here are some picture of the new baby goats.


Babe's baby is a boy. He looks EXACTLY like her!

We named him B.J, for Babe Junior. 

These are Nyla's kids, Sierra and Black Velvet.
 Sierra is the girl. She looks a lot like Chance, our buck.


Black Velvet is a boy. We call him Velvet for short, and
recently I've been calling him Vel. :)

We're probably going to keep Sierra and sell the bucklings, (as they're called :).

Our sheep will lamb pretty soon. Possibly even next month. And hopefully Beulah will have some more puppies this spring. We've got a lot of animals coming and going, yay!

Well, I've got to go!  You all are such good viewers, I really appreciate it. God bless you! :)

Catch up (part 2)

Back again. :)

One of the major things that has happened here at the Cochran homestead is the birth of our baby goats. :) Special, (one of our does)  gave birth to twin boys last week. I had heard stories from a few friends (wink to you guys!) about how cute kids are, but I didn't understand the depth of which they spoke.

KIDS ARE THE MOST ADORABLE THINGS EVER!!!

They're already romping around at four days old, playful and happy. It's so hard to capture in pictures, but here you are:


So this is Fleck, named so because of the white spot on his side. 

Fleck again

And this is Shadow. He is all black.

Shadow is looking at his half-sister Babe. 

Touching noses with his half-sister Babe.


Babe was Special's first kid. She is now pregnant herself. So is Nyla, our other doe. We are expecting them to kid any day now. We have been on a close lookout for them, because of the cold weather and all. It is very easy for baby goats to freeze after birth, so we try to be there to help dry them off.

We were so thankful to the Lord on the day when the kids were born, because we were all outside at the time and it was a relatively nice day---we've been having a lot of relatively nice days this winter. Happiness!

Well, that's pretty much all the catch up I think I'll do. I have school work and etc to do. I'll try to post again soon. See you around! :)

God Bless,

Lindsey
