I am so relieved I stayed up all night to catch a flight and bypassed the bottle of champagne I had planned on consuming.

And he has a miniature C on his face so his guardian angel is indeed looking over him :)

She actually went 5 days early but she had milk for so long it did seem like she was overdue! His legs go on and on and on and he white on three legs just like his daddy, one of them is a coronet that matches mom and both baby and dad have nothing on the front left.

i have tons of pictures I took today but they have to be developed, my dig won;t' do action shots so took out the Nikon and bought 8 rolls of film.

This was yesterday, his first steps outside.

Thanks. He has a facebook page now :) so we can upload pictures that way (or the farm can since they have the camera). I'm just not sure where he got his gigantic ears from but they are fun to watch flop around.

Ah Tap - Allou's foals all had donkey ears, but I loved them just the same :) And think of "Z" when you see those big old ears and how she perks her's up and radars them around - your boy will be able to do that too ;)

It's a cam shot but he's now a week old :D he does not like it if you give her attention and leave him out and she does not like it if you pay attention to him unless you scratch her too and they will follow you around the stall....
