When we got home, we pulled Olivia from Maude(needless to say, Maude was 
), and let all 4 kids out in the backyard to get to know each other and play for about half an hour. We then made their respective bottles and attempted feeding 2 kids, then the other 2 kids. Obviously, that funny looking thing with the yellow and red squishy thing, was turned down, at first. By carefully holding BB(black boy - temporary descriptive name)'s head and squirming the nipple into his mouth and forcing him to take it... he realized, in his attempting to push it out of his mouth, that,"Hey! There is something good in there!" He spent roughly the next 3 minutes sucking on it. 
Good BB! 
BG(black girl - temporary descriptive name) apparently likes to suck from the side of her mouth instead of the front, but it looks like she may be teething, as she appears to be more chewing than sucking. HighNote likes to turn to mush in your lap... and will allow the nipple in his mouth, but keeps it there more like a pacifier, than a nipple... for now. Olivia... we will have to wait for her to start crying to be fed. Right now she is still contented from feeding off Maude all day.
So far, not going that bad. We currently have a dish with Lucerne Farm's Alfa Supreme shredded, molasses misted, alfalfa hay in the big dog crate with them, and BB, Olivia & BG are nibbling it.

Jack(BlackJack)... has a golden brown MOONSPOT on his left rear leg!!!! our first official MOOSPOT!!!!! 
We may not end up wethering him after all... will need to discuss it as a family and decide together after reading over his pedigree chart.
