Saturday, April 14, 2012 at 11:41AM Peridot had a beautiful set of rams this morning. Mike checked the lambcam at 5:45--nothing. I checked at 6:50--lambs!
The second lamb wasn't up and moving yet when I got out there, so he was only minutes old.And here they are in their own pen.
Of course, I'll have many, many more photos to come!

Here they are, via our lambcam, using her as a jungle gym.

I woke up at about 2:40 am from a deep sleep, worried about Sparkles. She had been acting different yesterday, and I was pretty sure her time was soon. I couldn't shake the feeling, so I finally got up and checked our lambcam.
I saw one lamb up and moving with Starr, our llama standing guard, and I was out the door running. At some point I said to my husband, "Mike! Lambs!" When I got to the barn, Starr was still over the lamb, and Sparkles was to the other one. I scooped them up and put all three in a lambing pen.
Mike joined me about 5 minutes later, and then we stared at them for an hour.
