Happy Birthday: Twinning and Winning and TEN years old!

 

TBear and Esme began their birthday with a cute little note left for them from Corbin and Soren, who were out the door an hour before they woke up. I checked the twins out for lunch and they chose to go to Canes, where we met Aaron and they FaceTimed Reese on the way. At lunch, Bear mentioned that the ONLY thing he wanted for his birthday was a new chicken of his very own to love, like Ginger. 

Welp that’s it. Thats the secret recipe to Meg’s mama heart. I made a call to the Saumi’s and begged Mar to sell me one of her. She came through with an 8 week old pulley that looks like some variety of F2 cross breed that will hopefully deliver us some olive toned eggs in 12 weeks or so. 

She came from a hatchery and was with hundreds of other chicks so she needs about 1-2 weeks before we can introduce her into our flock for their health and her safety, so I set up a crate on the front porch to surprise Bear and then left to pick up my Barker and Washington kids.  He called me from Corbin’s phone squealing with gratitude and excitement. He named her Ava. At night, Ava gets moved into a kitty crate that is set inside the big chicken coop so they other girls can see her but not hurt her (she’s still pretty little and all alone). In time, we’ll move the big crate out back while the hens free range around her and eventually put her in the coop without the crate. Bear is orchestrating the whole transition. 


It’s hard to believe my babies are TEN! 

Bear plays hard. He is chatty, responsible, patriotic, funny, and snuggly. He loves rules, fairness, and traditions. He enjoys cooking, playing soccer, and being with friends. He loves history, animals, public service workers, and stories of heroism and survival. 


Esme is a little bestie. She loves music, science, clothes, and pretty things. She learns eagerly and rapidly. She is creative, compassionate, and has a huge heart for anyone who is hurting. She has the most contagious giggle, she loves to serve, and has very strong opinions but rarely ever complains about anything. Happy Birthday Twins!!
