babies and flowers

babies

we have lots of them around here.

baby cats

baby chickens

baby people

(not to mention baby cows and baby bulls)

we got 2 kittens from grandma and grandpa last week. they are8 weeks old, i think. shyler is the gray one and eyezer (not sure on the spelling there) is the white one. jiles is not too fond of them.

ezra is very fond of them.

"hey guys! i got all a dem!"

and

flowers

(and a bud)

spring is finally in swing around here. we are like 2 weeks seasonally behind places that are only 15 miles away from us. the blossoms and buds are finally here. hallelujah!

and about the flowers, i don't believe there are many left in the yard; all of them have come inside the house and have found themselves half-stemmed in a mason jar sitting on the table or counter. they are mostly dandelions, and then tulips and... i'm not sure what those white ones are but i love them.

they are cheery and beautiful and my children are sweet for picking them for me.
