Once There Were Two, Now There are Four!

Yesterday was a fun day spent enjoying baby farm animals . . . but we had no idea just HOW fun it would be!

During piano lessons, Valerie and Victoria and I went over to the Adams’ house to visit and bottle feed their baby goats.


Soon after, during violin lessons, Lydia, Caroline and I went to visit the Gregory’s surviving ewes and new lambs. (More on this wonderful story later!)

Then, after lessons, we all went over to a farm where Victoria and Caroline wanted to look at a prospective baby goat to purchase for their goat herd.


But the most surprisingly fun thing about this day happened while we were sitting in the van after shopping at Walmart and while eating our McDonald’s dinner. Daddy called and asked to speak to Lydia. We had him on speaker phone as he said, “I have a riddle for you . . . ‘Said Kyle, standing at the door, there once were two, but now there are four!’ ” After a few minutes of great anticipation and suspense of what this meant, he shocked us with the news that Mercy, Lydia’s lamb that she got back a month or so ago, had just given birth to twin girls! My, my, were we surprised! No one had any idea that she was pregnant!!!

You can imagine Lydia’s excitement! After such a sad loss of Grace and her lambs back in February, this was such a sweet blessing from God!
