Chicks

Gabi has been so excited about watching eggs hatch in her 5th grade class this year.  The day finally arrived about a week ago!  Her egg took a bit longer but finally hatched on Monday.  Mrs. Risner had given all the kids opportunity to bring a chick or chicks home overnight if a note was sent from the parent.  Gabi took advantage of this last night so we had a couple of chicks in our household last night along with the rest of our animals!!!  (Oh, sad to report that Blaze didn't make it too long...unfortunately...no fish as of right now). 
It was also kind of cool because Gabi thinks the yellow one she brought home actually came from her egg she has been studying.  We were a bit worried about the noise since kids that have actually taken them home already have told Gabi that they "cheep" all night...BUT, these two cuties cuddled up next to each other right around Gabi's bedtime and we didn't hear from them until we turned Gabi's light on this morning!  SOOO glad Gabi had this opportunity.  She really enjoyed it.  She LOVES taking care of animals of all kinds...in fact, I have heard her mention a possible veterinarian job in her future...who knows :)

Aren't they cuties!

AND, someone VERY special is turning 38 today :)  Yep, Ben is the birthday boy today!!!  Love you so much Ben and looking forward to spending time wth you this evening :)
