Are you ready ?
Posted in alpacas on 11/26/2006 03:33 pm by TamI hope you’re ready for the saccharine overload. Number Two arrived today — this morning around 11, as we were getting ready for both the Xmas parade, in which we were pirates (because nothing says “Christmas” like “Pirates!”) and hosting Thanksgiving Dinner Mark II at our place (luckily we had Emily to turkey-sit while we were at the parade). Gorgeous, gorgeous day.
This one was 11.75 kilos ! He (yes, another boy) definitely came out more precocious than the white one — he was already running around with minimal wobbliness at only a couple hours old, knew right away which one his mother was, and mostly which end of her he ought to be investigating.
The parade was good. Stephen only made three kids cry, and had one old lady threaten him with her cane (but, er, in a good way) ! And he made traffic cops say “Arrr!” for candy. And topping it off was hanging out stuffing ourselves and drinking lovely wine with a table full of good friends (lucky I won those nice chairs at the auction — everyone had somewhere to sit).
All in all, a good day.
