New Kids!

April May had a beautiful set of twins this afternoon. I had just stopped home for lunch and as I was leaving noticed two small figures in the grass by April May. I walked over to investigate and was pleasantly suprised to find Larry and Louise. Both of the kids seem to be doing well. One boy, one girl. Larry (boy) is the black and white kid, Louise is the tan kid. This is our first kidding experience and we're a bit unsure of what to expect, despite reading most everything we have been able to get our hands on in print or online. Neither of the kids seem to be nursing well yet - we did milk April May a bit to get some of the Colestrum to bottle feed to the kids. They aren't drinking a lot, although Larry drank a few ounces around 7:00pm and Louise just drank 3 or 4 ounces at about 9:30pm. As of 9:50pm they were both up and walking, albeit shakily, around their pen. We did move April May and the two kids into a pen in the barn for the evening. Hopefully tomorrow morning will bring with it the joy of two healthy kids!
