April Pics - Windy!

Holy smokes!  Springtime is such a busy time!  I wanted to get some fresh pics up here before the girls are grown and off to college . . . here goes:

Here are the girls and our friends Anna and Daniel befor

e they moved to North Carolina.  Wherever you are you guys . . . we miss you!  Come back to us!  We got baby chicks on Sunday and Francesca promptly named them, "Anna, Daniel, Baby Lily and Heather," (sorry Matthew, its Palisade and we are only allowed 4 chicks.  Since then, they have re-named three of them so now its, "Anna, Sippy Sippy Sophia, Sunburn and Sunburst."  We LOOOOVE our baby chicks.  They are sooo sweet 

and cuddly.  We have two Black Stars and two Barred Rocks - our rock/star chicken flock.  I can see how farm pets could get addicting.  So far, they're to

tally low maintenance compared to house pets.  And soon, I'll be able to kick them outside for good!  Unlike our cats, who like to wake me up in the middle of the night to drink out of the water glass right next to my head, even though they have fresh water of their own.

Here we are on one of our Wednesday pre-school days.  We walked to the "Sucker Store," aka Ace Hardware to see the baby chicks and ducks.  Francesca had just found a dandelion and she was really happy and excited.  

And happiness is a sucker from the Sucker Store.  I think that night when Andrew asked the girls what they did that day, Cecilia said, "Go to the sucker store!"
