Happy times and Sad!

Well, as you know we have one lamb; now we have 2!! We would have 3, but one of the ewe's was clogged so her milk wouldn't come out, and the lamb didn't have enough strength to stand either. Well, I had to help that little lamb eat from her mommy; that was tough--the mother wouldn't stay still!!
Anyway, just 4 days ago this little lamb died. I was so sad...I felt somewhat responsible for it. I know that just happens sometime, and it wasn't my fault, but it was still sad.
Now on to happier times!! We have another lamb born 2 days ago!! This one is doing just fine! It is really cute. It is white with black blotches, a black spot on its eye, and a little pink nose!! So we have two little lambs, and one ewe that is still pregnant!!

Now to swing into different things, we are moving to the Nampa area soon(not as soon as we would like). We were hoping for the end of this month, but now Chris' boss wants him to stay until April 1st or so, so he can have someone to replace him right away... Chris and I don't really want to, but we are asking for extra pay for the month of March and they might actually do it. If they do give Chris the extra pay, we will stay. Well, there is our news.

Was the lamb that died a twin? And it is extra sad when a baby animal dies after you have put effort and energy into helping live. You just get a bit more emotionally attached, I think.
Blast! You keep moving the day to move back. I will pout now.
