Our Days in the Sun

Sunday News Update
Big happenings around here this weekend.  The fun started
on Friday with the arrival of our eggs!  We had 18 people
here for the big event, and here is the result:
This is the incubator we were loaned by the county (with the lid off).  I was
assured that we would get an incubator with an automatic
turner, but that one failed to materialized.  Guess who the
new automatic turner is?  You've got it - ME!  I'm going to
become very bonded to these eggs over the next 21 days.  I
know #2 will be taking his 'turn' with the eggs, too.  I hope
we get at least a few chicks out of this dozen.  I'll let you
know.
Here is the next big event that happened here this weekend:
Yes, DD#1 lost her first tooth this morning.  We have been
wiggling this thing for over a week, and this morning it
just popped right out while I was drying her off after a
bath.  The towel caught her mouth just right and out it
came.  Fortunately there were no tears - it was a very
celebrated event!  She has been wiggling her tooth for
everyone, and I mean everyone, since it began to get loose. 
The shoppers in Publix, the mailman, all the neighbors, of
course grandparents and other family members, and others
I've left off will be relieved to hear the news that it is
finally out.  By the way, the one next to the hole is loose
now.  Stay tuned...
Big news item #3 is actually a very large item:
#2 now holds the record for bass in our pond.  He caught
this 24 incher this afternoon.  It weighed in at a whopping
4 1/2 pounds!  He garnered the attention of some young
men who happened to be fishing nearby who wanted to
know what this kid was fishing with!  My large-hearted
young man actually gave the guys two of the jelly worms
he was using.  I'm so proud of his generous heart - no
fishing secrets here!
That's our busy weekend. Hope all of you had a great
weekend, too!

I am off line for 2 weeks and look what all happens in your life!!! How exciting!
How often do you have to turn these eggs? No middle of the night turnings I hope. : )

My son loved the pic of your fish! Last summer we lived at a place where we could fish and catch bass all the time at the lake by our house. My son caught quite a few 16" bass, but I never saw one that big! Love your chick pics! I'd love to be doing that, but we're not allowed to have chickens here. Take care!
