Trying again

Okay google damn google messed with the order of my pictures. I am way too lazy to try to fix this now and Gwen just woke up from a nap, so live with it:)

First we got our first Lady egg. We got yet another chicken from Ms. Kelly, and she has given us a few eggs, but this is the first egg that we have gotten from our ladies. It is the small one. We think we have 2 laying right now, we occasionally get 2 eggs in one day. They are getting bigger. We have lost two though so far. One was smashed. The other was just slightly smashed but then, this is embarrassing, I smashed it walking into the house. Yes, my fault.
It is really neat getting eggs now and I do really like having chickens.





My girls having fun. They are silly sometimes. But sweet. They were playing on trying to get closer which eventually led to them falling over. I am really really glad that they get along. In fact I am just going to say that I am amazed and insanely happy at how wonderful my children are. We were at the feed store yesterday and a woman mentioned that I have my hands full. I do get this a lot. But I had to tell her that my girls were amazing and helpful and I rarely feel like my hands are full. Oh sure there are moments when I feel like my head is going to explode, but my hands? :) not so much. Really, if they were any more better behaved I would feel like something is wrong. Jack and I talked about that a bit afterwards and he agreed. Most of the time when we start to feel overwhelmed it isn't because of the girls, it is actually because there is something else that has our attention. It does happen, we do have to deal with life. But they are also, okay not Gwen so much, really understanding when we say something like "Hey girls, we have to do this right now, can you go and do something else right now?" We are an amazingly lucky family.





And I am taking a vacation right now. It is much needed. I feel like I need to refocus on what I am trying to do. I feel very jumbled and need awhile to figure things out. I think I got sidetracked awhile ago. Took a wrong turn and had my eyes closed for awhile. I opened my eyes and really had to say wtf! where the hell am I now? I am hoping some positive changes come out of this. It is hard to take a vacation with your children though. Wish me luck.
And we are really getting on planning/starting our garden now. I will try to take some pictures soon. We have seeds coming up!!! YAY! I have to admit that this is scary for me. I really really want this to work. Our garden in Georgia didn't work, but then we couldn't keep Bubba out of it. Our garden here didn't work, but I had tried to tell Jack that we really don't get much light in our backyard, most things molded back there. This time we will be putting it in our front yard. I am excited yet scared. We are putting a lot of work in this. So send good growing green thoughts to our front yard, we are going to need them :)
