Our New Babies!!

Next to a stuffed animal. (and not a very big one)

The two tri-colored ones in the cage.
Yesterday we left our house mid morning and returned about 4:00pm. While we were gone my step-mom had come to paint our bathroom. When we got home she said, "Do you had three guinea pigs?"
I replied, "Oh, did I not tell you one of them died?".
She then asked, "Did you get another one?"
To which I answered, "NO!"
She said, "There are three pigs in there."
"No way", was my reply. So I went to look in the cage and no, there were not three of them, there were FIVE!! Apparently last month we bought a pregnant guinea pig. And now we are the proud parents of three baby guinea pigs. They are very cute and tiny, they fit in the palm of your hand. They are born with all their hair and their eyes opened. I have learned a lot about how long they are pregnant, how long they nurse, how to tell if it is a boy or girl and how long they have to be with their mom, fun. If anyone wants one they will be ready to go toward the end of January. The kids want to keep all of them, which in NOT happening. We may keep one but we have not decided yet. This is definitely an experience to remember.

Merry Christmas!!

Christmas Morning 2009
It has been over a month since I have posted anything. Life seems to be passing me by lately. With 5 birthdays between November 5th and January 6th, plus you throw in Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year, I must say I have been in overload lately. I hope to get back on schedule in the next few weeks with our family blog.
We had a wonderful Christmas morning. The kids are all happy and still playing with their new treasures. Jacob got a much wanted Wii Football game, Emma got a huge dollhouse, all Seth wanted was a dinosaur and Santa delivered and Lucy was happy with everything, even the wrapping paper. There were several other Wii games in the mix, a couple card games, some Barbie dolls and clothes, Thomas train tracks, Bakugan and nice new church outfits for everyone.
I hope that everyone is doing well and enjoying time with family.
