Help us name our new baby lamb

Today has been a busy day, ran many errands, picked up our new lamb and then took my Joe some lunch while he worked at the property doing road work with the tractor. We have got the family back on schedule after Joes mothers funeral. I awake at four am so that I can have my hour of personal time with the Lord, get ready for the day and do some clean up before I wake the children at six. With this schedule the peace in our home is abundant however, I must get a little nap in the afternoon to see me through till bedtime. Today with all of our activity a nap was not possible so while it is only a tad before seven pm I am off to bed after I write this post! Today has been a very blessed day and I give thanks to the Father for all He helped us accomplish. Here are the photos of our new farm addition- do you have any more name suggestions? I like the few that have been given so far. Like I mentioned in yesterdays post, all the sheep have spice names and we want to continue that pattern. Here are the names of our sheep so far:
Rosemary
Ginger
Nutmeg
Paprika
Sage-the Ram

Okay, so share your creative name ideas- we are excited to have our homestead blogger friends be part of our ranch!

Have a wonderful night dear friends.... until our next chat....

Ahhh.....
He's so cute. All I can think of is Sugar and spice or with his coloring it is hard to say. Cinnamon

At A Loss!
I thought I could come up with a catchy name, but find myself at a loss tonight... he's so cute, though....there aren't any good white spices, are there? Confection... baking powder... how about just Powder? Good luck naming him. -Chris

What about "Parsley"? You already have "Rosemary". You could call the next ones "Sage" and "Thyme"!!

Spot came to mind first. Of the names you have listed I like Nutmeg best.
I love his markings

hmmm
How about Sugar or Tarter. I like the one brown spot. Maybe you could call him cinnamon and sugar. He is adorable and keep up the great work on your yo yo quilt. I can't wait to see the progress!

Funny Things My Children Have Said:

After several trips to the emergency room with my Timothy. I said, "Timothy, you really must stop hurting yourself like this. Each time we go through that hospital door it is costing Daddy 100.00!" He sweetly replied, "Is there another way we can get in Mommy?"

As Ezekiel and I poured over the garden magazines we ran across the brussel spouts. Ezekiel had never seen them before and with excitment said, "Momma, Look! They sell bite size lettuce!"

As we prepaired to vacume seal our newly butchered chickens. My Beth-Joy said, "Mom I know we want to seal our chickens but I can't figure out how we are going to get that chicken through that skinny slot!"

Rebekah was blessing me and cleaning out my pj drawer when she came across a new bra that I had purchased. In all seriousness she said, "Mom I just can't figure out why you would buy a bra thats only good for 18 hours!"

Jed was about five years old when he ran out to the kitchen and met me with excitement saying, "Mom I think God made my wife last night! I counted my ribs and now I am missing one!"

Matthew and Samuel were playing when the girls and I overheard them and couldn't help but giggle. Matthew wanted to play house and have a baby but Samuel informed him that, "You can't have a baby, Matthew- you're only a 2T"

While driving I often lose cell phone reception with my Joe. I never realized how much the little ones were listening until one day I overheard them say, "Mom and Dad broke up again!" "No Mommy broke up with Daddy" replied Matthew. "No! It was daddy. He broke up with Mommy again!" Replied Sammy. As I listend I thought it was a good thing no one was ease dropping into their coversation- they would think my Joe and I had a pretty rocky marriage! LOL

While on one of our "girls days" Bethany was having a hard time falling asleep. Grandma encouraged her to count sheep. After a few moments of slience we heard Beths sweat voice say, "Thump" We all thought about it for a moment and then Grandma asked, "Beth what was the thump about?" "Oh, one of my sheep ran into the fence.. that's all Grandma." We couldn't stop laughing for at least an hour.
