Largest egg EVER!

Well maybe not the Guiness Book of World Records largest, but it's definitely the largest egg that one of our chickens has ever laid.  Note the light blue egg in the back middle...

 It doesn't necessarily look that big in the picture above, especially since the one to the right is really big too.  But this will give you a better perspective...

I feel sorry the hen that laid this!  We of course cracked it open the next morning and it was a double-yolker.    Nobody can say that our hens aren't hard workers!

Don't quite fit

Towards the end of September, Samuel entered a jealous streak and wanted to do everything Evie did.  This included crawling on the floor, playing with her toys, etc.  Here, he wanted to play in her walker...



He managed to do this while I had my back turned and lost a slipper in the process.  The look on his face is priceless... I think his hesitant smile is trying to hide the fact that he knows he's stuck.

Back on the wagon

All right, I think life has returned to 'normal enough' so I'm pretty confident that I can resume regular posts.  My plan is to go back to the end of September photos to see what was going on.  I'll post until I get caught up and then, hopefully, stay caught up.

Wish me luck!

Don't give up!

I think this may be the longest run I've had for not posting anything.  I've been taking pictures, but just haven't gotten around to posting them.  We've had a lot going on trying to finish up animals for the year, Evie is a speed-crawler, Samuel's entered a jealous streak and I took a new position at work that has me working all kinds of crazy hours.

With that said, I WILL get back to posting regular updates.  Probably when I get a handle on my new job and when all the animal processing is over for the year - which knock on wood, will be in a week or two.

In the meantime, I'll at least try to get some pictures of the kids posted soon!
