Bunnies, Chicks, and a Birthday

We've significantly added to our number of living beings on this little farm!

Earlier this week, we picked up our chicks - 20 total - from our friends who so kindly incubated eggs from their chickens for us. They are currently in our house in a bin, staying warm under a heat lamp, eating a ton of feed, chirping, and sleeping. They're pretty cute and fun to watch!

The kids had been asking - no, begging - us for rabbits since they saw them at Rural King a few weeks back. The owners of our house left a rabbit hutch so we said, "Sure! Why not?" Last weekend we stopped to get eggs from a guy down the road ($2 a dozen for HUGE eggs - awesome!) and he sold us two sweet little bunnies for $6 each. It turns out Rural King sells his rabbits, but for twice what he sells them for. The kids absolutely love them. The bunnies are also currently in the house in a cage, at least until they get bigger and the weather warms up a bit more. They get cuddled and loved on quite a bit.

Jude's bunny is named Skittle. Audrey's is Marshmallow.

And last but certainly not least, our little Luke had his 3rd birthday yesterday! He's such a sweetie - and such a stinker, too... basically a typical three-year-old boy! :)
