[Jacob-list] New Lambs

[linda]

Abigail,

I never will tire of hearing Jacob Sheep lambing stories! 
It is my favorite time of year.  Each ewe is a wonderful mother, but each has her own personal 
mothering style that is fun to watch. 
I usually manage to observe all the births and watching a minutes old lamb get up and nurse 
always amazes me.  Glad you got to be there for Sarah's lambs - Congratulations on your new 
babies!

Linda
