First Lambs of 2009 have arrived

We have started lambing.  Twin ewes (WooHoo!).  They are a little early and on the small size.  The biggest one is 8lb 3 oz and the tiny one is 5 lb 9 oz.  They are both nursing, but is has suddenly turned very cold and windy here.  Dad is Jess (he is 9 years old and still settled all of his ewes this year).  Mom is Kya.  The larger of the lambs we have named Jess’ A Minute and the smaller is Jess’ A Second.  Here is a photo taken right after we got them in the jug.
