Snake in my Closet

How is something this small,

so fast and aggressive?

God made him that way, I guess.

And he is welcome to be that way all day long - outside.

Not in my closet.

Or my house.

I mean how did he get there in the first place?

And does he have family in the vicinity?

Swimming Lessons

Sarah getting some skills.

Swimming skills.

Two Hands

Kevin is driving to school.

All.......by.......himself.

I am learning that there's a point you get with your kids,

where all you can do is pray.

And I have reached that point many times with my three boys.

And praying helps. 

What doesn't help so much,

is when I think back to when I was young and driving.

Oy.

The chicks are here!

The  post office called this morning.

They wanted me to come and get my chicks.

I had ordered 3 baby chicks and they were here!

Apparently they were quite loud.

The postman advised me to come soon.

I think it must make them nervous for a package to be chirping.

So between dropping kids off at school I got the box.

And asked Ranae to hold it on the way to school.

She couldn't help but peek.

After I got home I carefully opened the box

and this is what I saw.

Three warm, fuzzy, LOUD day-old chicks.

And this is one reason I love chickens so much.

My 6 grown chickens are laying every day.

Most days we get four eggs!

Can anyone say omelet?

First Day of School

The first day of first grade for Sarah.

And the first day of eighth grade for Ranae.

And on Kevin's first day as a senior

there was a new sign on campus.

Hmmm.

Smile honey:-)

And have a nice first day.
