City Girls go Country!
Check out the delightful photos
of a pair of recent Baby Lamb arrivals from ‘Freedom Farm’ In Virginia.
Owners, Tammy & Quentin Phillips, had graciously invited their new neighbors to see the birthing first hand. Laurel Ziviello and her daughters Kaitlynn (age 5) and Morgan (age 6) had recently
relocated to Frederick Co. Virginia from Long Island N.Y. and had never experienced the wonders of birthing. By the time the girls arrived, Lambchop had already greeted the world but 10 minutes later, they
watched in awe as his twin sister Oreo arrived! Both are adorable
and all, including mom ‘Corella’ are doing well.
Laurel noted, “Morgan
and Kaitlynn were a bit perplexed about the birth and why the babies are all wet and look like poop when they arrive –
however, after some really basic explaining the girls started to get it. Needless
to say this has opened up many doors of conversation of how babies are made, how they live in their mommies; questions about
birth and does it hurt? AND finally, when am I going to have another baby!” Wow, that must have been some conversation!
We at the SVFF appreciate Tammy
for sending along pictures of the event and making the day so very special for two little girls who will
be chattering about it for months (perhaps years) to come.
‘Freedom Farm’
had a very successful February lambing season with a total of six new-born Romney Lambs; which will certainly keep the
Phillips busy - not to mention more opportunities for the Ziviello girls to learn about country life first hand.
Photos of the other
Lambs are included so be sure to check out the babies!!
