On Saturday, the older girls are I were at our 4H district speeches, helping out (our club was hosting them). In the middle of the day, I received a text from Art, with this picture:
It seems as though Abby's sheep had her lamb....s! She had twins! Abby was over the moon excited... and was so anxious for the speeches to be over so we could get home to see this face...
It's a good thing that our high temperature was around -30C on the weekend - perhaps the coldest days of the year? Of course we're going to have lambs then.... doesn't it always work out like that?! No matter - the lambs are looking good, regardless. Abby bundled up extra warm and has spent hours out there with her 2 little ladies. She sings them to sleep, makes sure they're drinking and staying warm under the heat lamp.
She was pretty darn excited to see these lambs arrive - especially since waiting so (im)patiently for the last 3 weeks since Hannah's lamb was born. And I am pretty darn excited for these twins because maybe, just maybe, I'll get to see some money back from this project? Time shall tell...
