Growing chicks

Those girls are getting big! It will still be a couple of months before we get eggs, but they sure are neat little critters (and poop A LOT too). Kuly (right side of first photo), Sally, Lucy, and Blackie.

Let's put the lonely in families :)

I was telling Noah that there are many little boys and girls without mommies or daddies. Her eyes lit up and with excitement said, "I know! Let's go and save them! They can come in and be part of our family!" My thought exactly, little girl :)

Bass Lake

We had a wonderful vacation up at Bass Lake. Wouldn't you know it, we ALL forgot our cameras! Thankful for point-and-shoots (haha, but the quality looks a bit 1980s). A hundred "thanks" for bringing us up Cindy!

Building the coop!

Mike and wonderful Frank (aka Dad) built a coop for the chicks last week! I love the first photo, three generations of Becchios building. Mike got to learn some neat tricks from a seasoned carpenter, Joshua got to climb around in the unfinished coop, and Noah and I have a much easier time of keeping up the chicks - which are now almost chicken sized. Kuly actually started clucking the other day. Sally (the smart one, my favorite of course) has started nesting in her nesting box. No eggs for a few months yet, but lots of fun watching their silly actions.

Baby "saftey"

Yes, this is Mike's idea of "playing safely" outside. Haha...
