Mommy, where do sheep come from?

Well when two sheep really love each other...


Addison


Everyone, welcome Addison to the flock. Addison will be at the resort with the other sheep and me until Mikey settles back in Iowa City. Yeah more sheep!!!

I'm sorry but that first picture is suggestive of far too many things. I can't wait until my first delivery. (As a doctor mind you, not personally)

John said...

Wow, I just ate. And now I don't want to again for a very, very long time.

Welcome Addison... Hopefully the first picture won't come back to haunt you when you grow up.

Erin said...

Hey, John you grew up on a sheep farm you know how it goes.


Okay seriously I just wanted to take a picture of Addison in the package that he arrived in. And it came out like that. Stupid bubble wrap.

Justin said...

Reminds me of movies where they help people over come childhood trauma be recreating their birth via a large balloon like thing. Wow, that was hard to spell...who would have thought there were so many double letters in balloon

John said...

I don't know if I was ever in on the actual birth of a lamb, I mostly remember helping to dock their tails shortly after birth. I was always conflicted on the appropriate way to dispose of a lamb's tail.

Erin said...

True that. I remember them bring the lamb home and then we put it in the closet. I got handed a bottle and told to feed the critter when it cried.

Erin said...

hmmm...I taste soap in my mouth. I don't remember eating soap. It must be my preemptive Catholic guilt kicking in for this post.

Unknown said...

Well I'm glad I wasn't the only one who looked at that picture and raised an eyebrow.

Erin, Catholic guilt doesn't exist, it's only in your mind.

Erin said...

O now you tell me!! What was all that stuff growing up then!? thanks mom.

Mike said...

Yeah, my sheep. I;m excited. Does this mean Addison and I get to go out for martini's(just one) to celebrate. I don't want to get Addison drunk, cause Addison is still so new to the flock. But a celebration cocktail is in order.

Unknown said...

Welcome Addison! Mikey, I think you and Addison can go out for one, very small drink to celebrate; think of Addison's body weight and order proportionally.

Erin said...

Yeah, Just don't get Addison dirty or smoky. Addison's coat is soo soo soft. Maybe ever softer than Taylors.

Unknown said...

Maybe Addison can borrow DJ's Boobatory garb, that ought to keep out smoke and dirt.

Justin said...

Better hurry up and rescue Addison Mikey if you want there to be any softness to the fur. How do you think Taylor kept the fur soft...by staying far far away from the petting hands of Erin. She'll be curled up with Addison before the weekend's over

Erin said...

If all you are going to do is put Addison back in a bag, then I'm might steel this sheep too!

Mike said...

No stealing my sheep Erin, if I don;t get Addison in a timely and complete soft manner, then there will be punishment. That is my new sheep, and I'm gonna take very good care of it, and show it what it means to be a true HAWKEYE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Jamie said...

be drunk all the time? is that what it means to be a true Hawkeye? somebody please clarify this for me.

Erin said...

I better not mean that. I would be daft to give someone a sheep if he only planed to make the sheep a drunk.

Unknown said...

well maybe not a complete drunk, but if the sheep's going to be a true Hawkeye it does need to binge drink at least occasionally, and really on a fairly regular basis. We even have the psychology studies to prove it

Erin said...

hmmm...sounds like Hot has been to at least one psychology class at Iowa. I was a 5 girl binge drinker. Who, what, no.... ;)

Unknown said...

Ohh, good for you. I never quite got the binge thing down. Although give me a 6 hour shift waiting tables and a bottle of wild turkey and anything can happen. Almost got the cops called for that one
