I haven't had goats for a couple of decades, but it would be really nice to see these little cuties, if you can!

I had forgotten they were Nubian! I just love those, and we had several here when my children were little -- for the milk. Each of my kids would drink up to a gallon a day at various ages, so I got pretty proficient at goat milking twice a day for up to 4 gallons a day

They are very cute, and I always love the ears!

Wow you really went through a lot of milk!!

Yes, I have a "herd" of children!!  I wanted six, but couldn't quite get there, but almost - 3 boys and 1 girl + my niece who I pretty much raised and count as my own -- so 5 around my table.  A bit hectic for a single mom -- but LOADS of fun!!  And you can imagine how much milk growing boys drink AND their friends who were over almost every night.  A wonderfully busy house!

And grandchild #10 is on the way -- the first for my oldest twin (and his wife had an adopted son who I now count as #9) !!   Since none of mine want more than 2 kids, I'm not sure whether the last son will have 2 of his own, or not -- so I'm not sure I'll wind up with 10 or 11! 

So, still real busy with family that are close (my 3 sons all live within about 50 minutes from here, but then a daughter in San Antonio, TX -- my daughter, Katy, the oldest, a Lt. Col. in the Army, and unfortunately, a Forward Operating Base Surgeon (Board Certified in Colo-rectal, Burn and Trauma surgery) so when she deploys she's at the front line -- but last tour was permanently assigned to "Special Ops/CIA" when deployed -- so we never know where she is or was, as she's not free to say.  So, hoping they don't send her a 4th time too soon, and my daughter/niece in Seattle, WA. I pretty much raised her, so consider her one of my own.  Only 2 grand-daughters in the bunch, as apparently we're good at producing boys!!

Lot's of wonderful kids and grandkids!

Ooh, so the next round of quilts, if and when you want them, need to be boy themes.  You saw my hunting/fishing themed quilts, so you know I can get there, and not just do warm fuzzies.

I understand the full house, I have 2 of my own boys, but have mothered many, so I have a lot of extra kids, and now they are having kids too! Though mine aren't big milk drinkers they all are bg eaters!!
I love a busy house and love when all my kids are around.
It's quiet these days but it's nice in its own way!
