“If we keep no diary [journal], the path crumbles away behind us as our feet leave it; and days gone by are but little more than a blank, broken by a few distorted shadows. Life is all confined within the limits of to-day….”
We have become the neighborhood sensation :)

It is a blessing to be your daughter.
I love you very much.
Dear Roger
Wonderful husband and father
I love you !
Look on the sidebar, under "labels" - Click on Father's Day for other post in Father's Day past. I kind of slacked this year...... Such is life. Gotta go feed baby goats :)
France with Lewis and Clark, before they were weaned.
We left them on for 2 days, then began the bottle feeding process on Tuesday.
It seems everyone loves new babies
Even Treyson (who's usually NOT a barnyard man)
Lewis is the bigger of the two babies.
Still no other babies from either Paris or Azula
Starting on the bottle with mama's milk Monday night.
First couple of feeding were kind of rough
After the first night alone without mama. I woke them up, and tried to feed them, but they hardly took any.
Katie came up to help CJ with the noon feeding on Tuesday . Didn't go very well.
When Roger D. got home in the afternoon, he didn't think either of the babies was going to make it, they were both so thin and frail and without energy. He and CJ immediately began feeding every 2 hours for the rest of the day.
By Wednesday morning, they were finally getting the hang, and did really well on their feedings. I think we (they) are going to make it !!
