Hillary Margaret Cecchetto

My newest Great Niece arrived at 6:06 PM on Saturday, March 6th ... weighing in at 10 pounds ... HILLARY MARGARET CECCHETTO.

Congratulations Ang, Mark, and Claire. Life IS good ... :-)

For Sale! - SOLD!! Woo Hoo ... :-)

Lambing will start later this month, and I am already planning ways to make room for lambs that I may want to help. This means that I will have tough decisions to make in terms of who stays! I have come up with three ewes that I am currently offering for sale.

WillowGarden Chocolatini (S28273), a 2008 moorit katmoget, born with a small krunet marking. She is out of SheltrgPines Irene and Underhill Thelonius Monk. I like this ewe a lot, but, for some reason she cycled last week and was bred by FirthofFifth Aman AI for late July lambs! I'd rather not deal with late summer lambs!
WillowGarden Geena Davis (not yet registered), a 2009 black katmoget ewe lamb out of WillowGarden Linyanti AI and WillowGarden Shake. I have retained a sister to this ewe, and have leased her dam to a neighbour, so still have access to her lambs.
WillowGarden Glenda Jackson (not yet registered), a 2009 white ewe lamb out of WillowGarden Macaroon and FirthofFifth Aman AI. She is a beautiful ewe, but ... I have retained her dam, her grand dam, and her sire.

A Blast From My Past

My Aunt sent me this picture of my kids on an Easter weekend ... around 1980-ish. I sure can see where my grandkids get their incredible good looks ... :-)

For Nan and Grumps ... :-)

Anna and Jamie have grand parents on the other side of the world who follow this blog in order to see additional pictures of their grandbabies. I haven't posted many of Jamie, and since they are both here today ... here come a LOT of pictures ... :-)

Hugs

Another 'Princess of the World'? Not a chance. This one is all boy ... for now ... ;-).

PS ... Jamie smiles A LOT! ... but not when there is a camera pointed at him ... ;-(

Anna, on the other hand, smiles ALL the time ... ESPECIALLY when there is a camera involved ... unless she is demonstrating her 'two-ness' ... hehehe.

Sloane ... Pictures Sent to Me By My Son

Sounds like everyone is doing well, except that Will has decided not to sleep. Chris RARELY slept as a baby and growing up. Even now he can function well with just a couple hours sleep. Sooooo ... sounds like the apple didn't fall far from the tree ... :-)

Isn't she a DOLL!?! ... my Little Princess of the World!

Visiting Old Friends

Today I delivered three rams to a Shetland breeder in the Ottawa area. She owns three of the friends that I have had to part with as my flock has progressed. It was nice to see them in such a lovely and loving 'home'.

I didn't take my camera, so I'll post older pictures of the three of them.

Above is WillowGarden Doris Day. She was one of my 'Tisket gulmogets'. She was, and is quite a character ... :-)

This is Great Plains Mia. She is one of the beauties that I brought in from Carol Arthur's flock in Alberta.

And above and below is SheltrngPines Hebe. Hebe was one of my original imports delivered by Stephen and Bill through the horrendous traffic jams of Toronto due to the Pope's visit. That was the start of a wonderful friendship, and a wonderful love affair with Shetlands.

It was good to see these girls. Thank you for taking such good care of them Donna!
