Introducing ....

Latifah paid full attention when we requested twin ewe lambs. Here they are, born at around 2 and 2:20 p.m. yesterday. Once again, she graciously shared her birth with not only myself, Alison and Claire, but also with Andrew MacKay, who dropped Iain off after church.

Immediately after birth: turn up the volume to hear "mommy noises". Latifah is a great talker; this particular sound is reserved only for babies, whether in utero during labour or after they are born. All ewes speak to their little ones using this adorable "chuckle".
