January 17th - Goats in the Snow

Samba, Jitterbug & Bebop

December 27th

Happy New Year and we hope you had a great Christmas!

Jitterbug auditions to pull Santa's sleigh.

December 26th - Merry Christmas!

Well, I am a day late but the good wishes are still valid! We had a great Christmas. Paul and Elaine, Mimi and Cody shared a big roast beef with John and me. I got a big red KitchenAid mixer that I just love. Thinking about making bread or pizza dough today.

We are expecting our dear friends John and Gloria today. That will be nice. The goats are doing well. The chickens are laying 5 or so eggs a day.

Here's a photo of Bebop eating her Christmas hay. She's 9 months old now.

December 20, 2007

Just a little update. We had Samba bred to Brankton Payton Manning on November 13th, 2007. So far it looks like she is bred so the babies (baby) should be here around April 10th, 2008.

We made Goat Milk soap for Christmas presents this Christmas. The milk is from Samba, Jitterbug and Bebop's mothers, Jazz and Dance. It turned out very nicely and we designed packaging for it and I am quite pleased (see photo below).
