Two new doelings


Two little doelings from our Erika! No names yet, but I'm sure that will come along. The little brown one is really fiesty, as you can tell from the one picture. It was hard to get her to be still for a picture. The bigger black one isn't too far behind. The first one born was a little doe that was born dead, unfortunately. But then came the black one, followed directly by the little brown one. Lil brownie weighs 5 1/2 # and lil blackie 7 1/2#. Momma Erika is doing fine.
The two-legged kids got a snow day home from school today. Can we say cabin fever? The weather is pitiful here today. Yesterday we had heavy snowfall, at least 4". Counties directly north and west got up to 13". This morning we had thunderstorms and fog. Now we are having fog, and tomorrow we are supposed to get more heavy snow. We are wondering if the next big storm system we get our Baby going. She has the same due date as Erika, so any day now . . .
Compared to last year, this has gone so well. If all goes without a hitch with Baby, I think I'll party till I'm purple! Seriously, I know for sure the hardships of last year have taught us to appreciate the blessings of this one so very much!
