2013-02-18_17-31-44_21My daughter, Emily, has her own small business: Sparkling Water Ranch. She raises goats (specifically, mini-oberhasli goats). “Syringa” has just given birth to two new babies (a boy and a girl) and we’re expecting several more babies in the next week or so.

Here she is holding one of the new baby goats with mama watching me and my camera with more than a little suspicion…Blackberry - litter #2

My son, Josiah, has a purebred black lab (Blackberry) who has just had her second liter of puppies. Unfortunately, these 11 puppies were unplanned (by us), so they aren’t purebreds. But they’re definitely cute…
