DUCKLINGS!

Aren't they just so cuddly?

So when I heard Daniel tell Rebecca he was even more excited about his ducklings that were coming than his siblings--I felt somewhat that I'd failed somewhere as a MOM. I mean really, even a 7 year old should know people are more important than animals. I really appreciated Rebecca's viewpoint, "I love little kids." Well I knew the ducklings had better have a post!


They really have been fun. We mail ordered them and were called by the P.O. at 6 AM to come and pick them up! 2 Peking, 2 Black Cayuga, 2 Indian Runner--8 in all. Wait, 2+2+2 should not equal 8. Apparently they send a few extra just incase--the company guarantees live birds!

So Daniel and I have been having fun with our little flock. Jonathan should be thrilled when he gets home from camp tomorrow night. Annie gets home tomorrow too. Gee--we'll have almost as many people as we do ducklings :-)
