What I’m Thankful For

Here’s what I’m most thankful for today….a family, who loves each other, the Lord, and having a good time together!

Breakfast in Bed

The day after we arrived home from Montana, everyone slept in pretty late, since we'd been partying the nights away.  Ellie Mae was the last one to get up, and she came down at about 10:30 am!  I love Girls who sleep!!  Anyhow, while she was eating breakfast, she announced to us that she had been up for a while, and was waiting to be served breakfast in bed.  Hmmm....High maintenance, maybe?  Since it was too late for breakfast in bed that morning because she was already eating, her sisters told her that the next morning they would bring her breakfast, and she should stay in her bed.  (Note to self:  that would be a great way to make all of them stay in their beds indefinitely!)  Sure enough, true to their word, the next morning, the little princess was served breakfast....in bed.  I must admit, it was pretty fun watching her experience this for the first time.  Her sisters thought of everything - even a spill proof cup for her milk, to be poured into her cereal!  What great sisters....!

After the Girls brought her breakfast, they all left, and I stayed to hang out with my baby for a little bit while she ate.  After all, it's no fun to have breakfast in bed with no one to share it with!

A Big Day

Today's a big day here.  A first, that's for sure.  Wanna hear it? 

Ok.  Well.....we got 10 eggs today.  Yup!  10!  We've been getting 5 consistently now for a while, so we knew that at least one of the "chicks" was laying.  But today, we got 10!  I was pretty excited!

And one of our crazy chickens keeps going missing, and then turning up.  We'll count 12 for a few days, and then, we'll count 13!  And don't say that I can't count....because I probably count four times just to make sure that I'm not miscounting.... so one of my little ladies is having a chicken adventure, that's for sure!

I am happy to report that the Girls (the chicken girls, that is) are doing well....they're (mostly) still alive, and doing well.  It'll be interesting to see how they do over the winter, but today?  Today, I got 10 eggs!

UPDATE:  I just went to tuck the (chicken) Girls into bed and there were 2 MORE eggs!!  That makes a full dozen, friends!  We're in the money now! :-)
