Elsie's Easter lambs

We could hear Elsie digging a hole yesterday morning around 5 AM.  We decided to sleep a little longer, and when we checked a little before 7 AM, we saw a lamb.  By the time we arrived at the barn, there were two lambs up and about.  Yay for a speedy twin delivery.  (Although it did take her forever to deliver her afterbirth.)

Elsie's first lamb is a light brown ewe.  We've named her Sassafras, and the boys are already calling her Sassy.  We've never had a lamb this color, so it's pretty exciting for us. 

Elsie's second lamb is a dark brown ram with spots.  His name is Sycamore.  I love his spots.  His horn buds are light colored, which is why you can see them so clearly in the pictures.  

Their daddy is Chert (if you couldn't tell from looking at Sycamore!).

Two more ewes are really close to their due dates and we have some non-sheep stuff going on, so we're really, really busy right now.
