Fondue

Next year, will be my 20th year celebrating "Fondue Day" with Farmer J's family and friends! Today was year 19! Family, friends and fondue go together so well.

I've been to this Fondue party as Farmer J's new girlfriend, new fiancé, new wife and there as a new mama to JJ and Pickle. Lots of memories shared over food, with great fellowship.

Today, by the time the cheese, meat and chocolate courses were done, over 8 hours had passed by since we first arrived at the party. I feel blessed to have married into such a lovely family...and tradition.

Wondering which course was my favorite?

Selfie with a pot of warm, dark chocolate!

Ahhhhh-mazing! Good chocolate, Papa!

Sparrow and the lamb formula

Mice into the lamb formula? Nope. Kittens, and mainly, Sparrow.

In case you can't tell, that white powder on Sparrow's head is sweet, lamb formula.

She wouldn't stay still for the picture...

Here you can see her sticky, sweet, formula beard!

Finn is helping lick her clean!

I swear, our three indoor kittens are more work than all our outside animals combined!

Our newest little boy

The ruminants, minus Duncan, have taken over my garbage. It is now a barnage!

2 days old.

Notice his skin wrinkles, he looks part pug and part cow.

He is so tall! This guy will be huge, with his Aoife mama and Duncan dada!

His human "mama", aka me!

Sweet boy!

Mama Aoife and baby lamb...

are doing great! This little boy lamb is really tall like Saoirse! I'll upload videos from the birth tomorrow! The lamb below is Skye.

She isn't as big as Saoirse but has put on quite the pounds since she was born! The magic of Una's milk and quality hay!

Farmer J is holding her, and he has huge hands, which gives perspective to how big Skye is getting!

Below are pictures of Skye when we were worried about her and giving her lamb replacement milk via bottles (so you can see how healthy she has become)!
