Summer 2008:

Sussette's Petunia found a new home. We liked her but two goats were all we had planned on for now. We also did a goat swap with Aunt Sussette. She took Petunia and we have Kateri's mother Kitty. Kitty is in milk so now we have fresh milk. YUM YUM. I really enjoy going out and milking her in the morning for some quiet time with the animals. Laura joins me in the afternoons and we get some time alone together chatting about life. Below is a picture of Kitty with Kateri doing her odd neck dance. Kateri has also taken to peeking into the boys window in the afternoon to see what they are up to. I will snap a pic of that next time I think of it.

July 2007: Kateri and Petunia

	The kids are growing quickly and have become very friendly. Kateri thinks nothing of trying to jump in your lap with her 45 pound body. We have to work on appropriate goat human contact. Petunia is a little milder unless you have feed in you hand. Both goats share their pen with Sussette's Raspberry (newest daughter of Sugarcane). We are bottle raising her for the Websters.
Chickens in the goat pen: another reason mom does NOT like chickens.

April 2007 - Faustina Farm Goats

Our baby goats are due to arrive in April 2007. Aunt Susie's goats are all expecting. Hopefully we will be able to adopt at least one doe. The second goat may have to be a buck.

February 2006 - Webster Farm Goats

Here we are at Aunt Susie's place waiting for their baby goats to be born.
Lilly was the first to arrive. The children couldn't wait to pet her. Sugarcane gave birth to two more bucks, the last was breech and Sussette had to reach in and help it out!
	After Lilly was born we were so excited I forgot to take pictures of the other kids.
