New arrivals on the farm!

Well, it feels like spring is here, (sorry for you poor folks that still have to deal with snow) and spring on the farm, means babies!!!!! The first babies of the season were born today. Their arrival was very much anticipated.

They were due on March 6th. Being overdue helped to push the anticipation level up a notch. Mélanie woke up at 5 am on Friday after dreaming of their birth and went to see if they had arrived! (Now that is a dedicated farm girl!) For the last few days, we have been checking on Vicky (we didn't get to name her) first thing we get up in the morning, last thing before we go to bed, and almost every hour. We were hoping to get some great birth footage. But the babies (or should I say kids?) made their appearance on Sunday morning while we were ALL at church!
Since Philip was preaching the final sermon of our series on Thessalonians at the time they were born, the kids have considered Thessa and Niki as names. But we are still open for suggestions. Please leave your ideas in the comments below!!! We have a boy and a girl by the way.
We bought Vicky a week ago from a friend that needed to stop goat farming.(She still has a couple more to sell if anyone is looking for a goat!)  It has been a long time since we have had goats on our farm. Philip is already getting excited about the goat cheese we will be making.

Hard to say which kids are cutest!!!!

Well I really think Tessa and Nika are good names. Only problem, I have friends with the name Tessa...
"Tess and Leika?"
