Baby's babies

Tell Me Baby, otherwise know as Baby, delivered her kids this afternoon shortly after two. At least she had the decency to deliver in the afternoon! We are grateful.

The one on the left we won't keep. We can't keep them all! But the one on the right we have named Cocoa Bean, after Baby's mom Cocoa, whom we lost last year. We are tickled to have a descendant of Cocoa's that so closely resembles her.

So in addition to two more does, we got around 12" of snow! The two legged kids were home from school today, and we still don't know about tomorrow. The roads are pretty tough to pass right now, and the wind is supposed to blow a bit over night.

We have a name for at least one of Erika's does: The brown one we'd like to call Nutmeg, since her coloring resembles a nutmeg nut. The black one I'd like to call Pepper, and keep with the spice naming theme we have going for Erika's babies (e.g. Ginger from last year), but the rest of us are not sure they like that name. Below is another picture of Baby's babies.

Yea for all the babies! So glad everything went well, can't wait to see them in person. What about Anise for the black and white baby -- it is a spice that tastes like licorice which is black and you could all her Ana for short. but I like Pepper too.
