More Eggs!

No pictures as Madeline and Michael ate them as soon as they were laid. We got another egg the day after the first one, Tuesday. Then no eggs the next day. Today we got two eggs! One cream colored/pinkish egg and later in the day a brown speckled egg. So pretty! I think that the two that are laying are buttbeak (a Polish) and one of "the twins" a Rhode Island Red.

Give Me Your Eyes by Brandon Heath

I can't figure out how to do the you tube on the blog thing but I really like this song and wanted to share it.

Look what we found!!!!

No idea who laid it but YAY EGGS!!! There was nothing this morning and then Joe found this when he went to give them water this evening. It was right there by the waterer.

Isn't it pretty. The pic is not the best. It was a beautiful cream color.

Fried egg with dinner (tacos) LOL

Watching it cook, she did not want to share it at all but managed to give the other two a bite.

It is now safe to say that one of the eight chickens will not become soup. It has been a long wait for this. Can't wait for the next one!

Prayers please

Joe called me this morning at 7 am. Why was he calling me at 7 am? To tell me he drove himself to the ER at 2 am and was going in to surgery at 7:30. He did not want to wake me up! He is fine and recovering now from having his gall bladder removed. Please pray for a speedy recovery. He is in a lot of pain but hopefully will be discharged soon.

Sewing Alley is up and running!

Check out my new website and tell me what you think. It is still under construction so expect some changes in the future.

Small Update

Very busy lately, no time for a big picture update. :( In fact I don't even think I have downloaded pictures since the last picture update. double :(

Nomy is crawling! ACKKKKKKKKKKKKKK. I need a magic broom and mop. With 3 other kids the floor seems to be littered with legos, marbles, small paper scraps, tape, beads, and all sorts of wonderful items that Nomy just happens to enjoy gumming on. A day does not go by without her gagging on something.

Madeline started her two resource classes at Home Choice Academy. She chose Messy Science with a WOW and World Crafts this semester. She goes on Thursday afternoons and also takes PE on Mondays. She still reads daily and I think her current book is The Wizard of OZ.

Michael started taking PE with Madeline through HCA this year. The first 45 mins is swimming with the next 45 minutes is gym time. He is still really into Mario party and Mario Kart and asks to play them daily. He has also been showing a little interest in writing and we help when he asks.

Marah is well still Marah. She is now not only beating on kids her own size but picking on the smaller ones as well. Makes playdates really fun. Her language has really taken off lately and its nice to be able to understand whole sentences. She amazes me daily.

Joe is doing well. In your thoughts and prayers please think CAP TEAM, CAP TEAM, CAP TEAM, CAP TEAM, CAP TEAM, CAP TEAM!!!!!!!!

I am also doing well. I actually sewed something the other day. It has been 7 months since I last made anything and oh did it feel nice. I had not used my machine since I had it serviced and wow it is so smooth now. I made Madeline a new school bag and have several skirts cut and ready next time I have a chance. Seriously thinking about restarting my hyena cart soon. As you can see it says will re open in April or May. Ummm yeah what was I thinking?

We have been reading HP out load together and are on book 3. It is so fun to re read it with Madeline. She gets so excited and the other day said that the books have more texture than the movies. LOL.

Okay must make dinner...
