Hooray! A quick post to share the news: our first lambs arrived at mid-day (right in the middle of a photo shoot for my book!). Tupelo, a three year old Cormo, delivered a ewe lamb followed by a ram lamb. Both sturdy, on their feet and nursing already. The picture above was taken on arrival. Below, the nosey aunties are inspecting the newcomers. Haven't had a moment to name them, but will let you know. More pics soon.

Oh, how exciting for you and US! Congrats to Tupelo, too. The brother and sister have so much exploring to do and space to do it in now. Great day!

I never fail to be amazed at how quickly new borns stand and walk. In many ways they seem to bypass the infant stage that humans go through. Can't wait to hear their names.

Tell Tupelo her new lambs are gorgeous! So happy they're healthy and strong. Since they arrived during the photo shoot, do they get to be in the book?
