Chicken Update: April 17

A new Batch of Baby chicks has arrived.
Golden Comets, RIR and a few mystery chicks.

Of course, this one is not a mystery chick. It's a Rouen Duck!
Isn't he cute??

The boys are all learning how to handle the chickens.
Today the chickens got their first adventure outside.
Peter is carrying an Isa Brown.

Chick segregation?
The Isa Browns are one the lft, Buff Orpingtons in the middle, and a Rhode Island Red on the Right. The buffs are really silky. Francis loves them and picks them up a lot.

Their indoor enclosure.. (garage). These birds are anxious to get into their new coop!

Classifying Kids: Michael

There are different ways of classifying kids.
There are boys and there are girls.
Some are quiet and some are loud.
Some are good sleepers and some sleep terribly.
Some are talkative and some are quiet.
Some kids LOVE hats, glasses and other accessories. Some don't.

As you may imagine,
We have all kinds around here!
('Though none in the girl category!)

This particular post is about Michael.
He is going to turn 2 this month and he charms us all!!

He is LOUD (the loudest of all of the kids!)

He has a limited vocabulary, but always manages to get what he wants.

He LOVES hats and glasses (and goggles, as you can see!)

He is a great sleeper. But, a terrible teether. (Which has caused many sleepless nights!)

And we call him by one of my sisters' name in the morning when he wakes up grouchy as a bear!

He is always either SUPER happy-go-lucky OR
SUPER grouchy.
He experiences the extremes, for sure!

Hope you enjoy his silly pictures. More to come...
