There's (another) Llama in the Family!

Anyone who knows the Carlson family, knows that there could be any kind of new pet and any given time!!  Several years ago, Terry's dad came home from an animal sale with an unnamed llama.  This llama found a way out of the fence and ended up a few miles away.  After the newspaper article on her, a lady from town sent Mom and Dad a poem in which she named the llama "Lilly".  Thus, the name Lilly for her!  Much to their surprise, she had a baby llama almost a year later (the gestation period for a llama is about one year).  She ended up with the Lilac after Trevor was given the opportunity to name her.  After Lilac, along came Butterfly.  Just over one week ago, they came home to another baby.  After discussing a name for her, Trevor, Emily and Erin came up with Daffodil to continue with the flower theme.  Terry's little niece called Gma to check to see if there was a name & was a bit sad to find it was already named Daffodil but so sweetly asked if she could be Daffodil Princess ~ so sweet.  She is now named Princess Daffodil.  And, Kylie, she is so soft and walks just like a princess!!
