Chickas

For a stint in March we adopted 6 new family members. One Saturday morning we piled into the van and headed to the local Farm & Fleet. There, each child picked two chicks, giving each of the fluffy puff balls a name. Ella picked Brownie and Maisy. Carter so appropriately named his Fireball and Cookie Dough. And Christian transferred his love for Dr.Seuss books to his new friends Nick and Sally. The baby ducklings were hard to pass up! (nonetheless, we were focused on chicks!) We brought them home and made them a comfy space in the pool we've outgrown.
We held them,
and snuggled them,
and checked out every little bit of them from their bills to their wings, and their scrawny little feet.
We showered the chicks with lots of LOVE and affection.
We fed and watered them too!

Those cute little buggers nestled their way right into our hearts!

Looks like the kids had a lot of fun with the newest additions :-) Every time you post I'm amazed how big the kids look...they are growing so fast. We miss you all lots!
