We we were a little tired on Wednesday after delivering these wee ones in the wee hours, but they were worth it! With a little help from me pulling on their legs, Snowball delivered a big, strong baby boy followed by a small but also strong baby girl. Both kids were up and nursing in … Continue reading Snowball Snowballed!
I have done an absolutely dreadful job of keeping this blog up-to-date this summer and to my faithful readers I do apologize. It’s been an exciting summer and we’ve enjoyed these nine kids very much, but I did not get as many photographs as I usually do. In fact, most of them will fit right … Continue reading Summer Daze

I … Continue reading Seventh annual Hassey “Goat Vacation” Day 1: Wheeler

Instead we made tracks to my home town of Lake City, CO. This is the first time we’ve left Cuzco at home. The old fella has been … Continue reading 5th Annual Hassey “Goat Vacation” – Lake City, CO
