some pics of Mira and Lucky

I have to be honest, I don't know how old they are in this photo but i remember thinking 'wow, look how much they have grown' when I took this photo.
we got one happy little baby with a stuffed little tummy in this photo, but I have to admit, bottle feeding them wasn't easy, we tried an actual little tiny bottle with a little tiny nipple, it was too big, we eventually turned to eye droppers which made a huge mess and i was afraid of it getting into their lugs through their nose.
Red sure loves those babies, he would always guard them and not let anything get near them, him and Besi got in a few fights because she got 'too close'

I owe ya'll a huge apology--sorry

Oh my goodness, I can't believe how long it has been since I last posted, I have so many pics, and updates, and you wouldn't believe everything that has been happening--well if you 'liked' our facebook page what follows might not be so shocking, but if you have been waiting for a blog update then you best stay seated while you read this cause it is a shocker (drum roll please)

WE HAVE MOVED!!!! yes, we moved to Lindale, Texas, actually between Lindale and Mineola--shocking I know, but it gets better, we have more land, we are no longer restricted by city ordinances and we have already purchased a momma goat and her baby as well as 4 chickens, 2 guineas and 6 baby chicks...

And now for the bad news, right before we moved we lost Wendi and her twins, as well as Prince, Adam, Lilo and Stitch. We don't really know what caused them all to die so close together (Lucky died outside, Mira died inside the next day--we think they might have eaten something when we let them roam) but we do miss them horribly. Those babies (Mira and Lucky) were like my babies, luckily we got lots of pictures before they passed. I cannot post the pics right now though because (more bad news) we couldn't get sudden-link out to our new location and it just takes way too long with dial up to download pictures--but have no fear (good news) my husband recently purchased a new laptop and I plan on taking a trip with it somewhere that offers free wifi so hopefully I can download pictures then (and maybe back log a bit and post 'new' posts to the dates they should have been posted so make sure to look back to catch up)

also, if you want to be kept more up to date (blogging with dial up is going to be a challenge at first) make sure to check out our facebook page--look for it under The FAM FARM--and like it, I want so badly to do a free give away of some sort but need at least 50 likes before I can (we already have 32 so we are over half way there). If you don't have facebook, don't fear, once we get 50 followers here I will also do a free give away here (and I will even post more once I know people are actually reading what I write) so make sure to tell all your friends to come and follow us

as for me and my, it is getting late and as always I have a super busy day tomorrow--goodnight ya'll

The Move

The move was unplanned, and happened so quick that we hired some helpers, obviously I worked them a little too hard, here is one of them sleeping on the couch--Red is being his lookout
Dominic was the unofficial box taper
Isn't Red so precious?
Sadly this was just one day of packing, and didn't even take a dent out of what we had to pack--yep, after this move I don't ever want to have to move again--but we did survive
We sure did survive, and are after getting rid of a lot of stuff we almost fit into our new house--almost being the key word. We have a long way to go before we are 'settled' but we are so excited for all the new oppertunities we have and are excited for all the growth that can now happen with the Fam Farm so please stay tuned. Being that we are out in the country we don't get high speed internet and dial up doesn't allow me much blogging oppertunities, so folllow us here and make sure to go to our facebook page and like us there (also known as 'the Fam Farm') so you can be away of the contests and prizes and the changes as they occur. When I am able to get to a free wifi spot I will do my best to update ya'll here and add pictures too so don't forget about the blog. Sorry for all the Frustration.

Last Photos of Lucky

While we were busy getting ready for the move from Tyler to Lindale Lucky came in to live in the house, I shot a couple of these photos, and am so lucky I did, because him and Mira passed before we were finished moving, we still don't know what happened, we are thinking that they much have eaten something that didn't agree while we let them roam in the garden. Anyhow, I thought I would Share these photos, I sure do miss The 2 of them, we bonded so much in what short time we had with them.

Lucky and the dogs got a long pretty well while he stayed inside, so well we let him roam the house with them in it, sadly Red sometimes got a little--to exicted and tried to give him a bath. This photo was taken after Lucky came to hide between my legs while I was on the computer, he is wet from one of Red's Bathes, don't worry, Red didn't hurt him.
Lucky found that hiding on the computer desk was the best way to rest as the dogs never tried to play with him while he was there.
then at other times he found the dog bed was a nice little spot when he was ready to play again
yep, now that he rules the house, he figured giving himself a bath on Besi's dog bed wasn't such a bad idea after all. Miss you Lucky, but so glad we got what little time we had with you and your sister. I know your in heaven caue Heaven wouldn't be heaven without a couple of dolls like you

The Twins Are 1 Week Old Today


I am so excited to announce that we have survived the first week. The twins are growing so big and strong. and we are definitely feeling the prayers being sent their way. I feel so blessed to be able to post pics we took this morning of them, sorry they aren't the best pictures, they wouldn't stop squirming until they fell asleep. and since their eyes aren't open yet it is hard to tell when they are asleep.

We can't even begin to tell whether they are male or female, but I am going to jump the gun and assume the bigger one is female and so as for right now, we are going to call 'her' Mira--short for Miracle.
She is laying in John's hand, I seriously can't believe how quickly they are growing. Only 7 days old and she is almost too big for John's hand.
Now, this one we are calling Lucky--he still has he umbilical cord attached, it just never has fallen off and we aren't about to pull at it. he is the smaller of the 2.
They are both getting so big and their fur has begun to come in. At first I was certain they were going to be black with white tummies but more and more I am starting to wonder.
and there you have it, they have survived the first week. Here is to praying they can survive for many more to come. their eyes should be opened in the next 3 days so I look forward to posting more pictures then.

We Have an Official Business Website

It's official, we have a business website--we are still making changes to it so please bare with us. The biggest struggle right now is our camera--we need a new one. We are trying to find a photographer who might be able to help us out with taking pictures of our rabbits and products, but until we find someone who can do that we are stuck using the pictures I take with our semi broken camera.

we also have a facebook page if anybody is interested in checking it out.
