May Week 1

The first week of May brought glorious sunny weather with lots of time spent outside.

Cami's doeling was born with a weak front leg during the last weekend of April.  Cami refused to to feed her and pushed her away.  So we started bottle feeding little Gigi.  The children have been a big help.  Her limp is gone now, and she can keep up with the rest of the herd just fine, but we love to have her (and sometimes her brother Georgie) visit us in the play yard during the day.
