The family. We are a strange little band of characters trudging through life, sharing diseases and toothpaste, coveting one another's desserts, hiding shampoo, borrowing money, locking each other out of our rooms, inflicting pain and kissing to heal it in the same instant, loving, laughing, defending, and trying to figure out the common thread that binds us all together.

Kids for Lilo


Lilo kidded this morning.  I was in between dropping two-legged kids off at school and racing over to our friends' house...but they came before I arrived.  I always try to remind myself that it's best when you don't have to help at all, when you just walk out to the barn to find new babies on the ground.  But I'm always a little disappointed when I don't get to watch.

Lilo had two healthy little bucklings.  Actually, they were very good size and both are doing well.  We've decided on "Coffee" and "Creamer" for their names.  Creamer had a little trouble getting started nursing but seems to be doing well now.  Again, I have to remind myself to give momma and baby a chance to do it on their own.  All too often our instinct is to help when they don't really need it.  Trust the momma.  Trust the momma.
