Two for Two

Look at that, I guess we can keep the chickens.  That's right, we got our first egg on Sunday morning and one yesterday as well.  We have not checked today yet, but Marcus says that we should start getting up to 5 eggs a day.  I guess our family is going to have start eating more eggs!  I was in the bathroom on Sunday morning and the chickens started clucking so I screamed for Marcus to check on them.  He ran out there saying that the noise they were making is very typical of what they do after laying an egg.  Sure enough, a few minutes later he came inside with a beautiful, tiny white egg.  If you all could have seen his face, it was the same happy expression as when all of our girls were born.  The eggs are tiny right now, about the size as a medium store bought, but he said they will get bigger as they lay more to about an extra-large size.  We haven't tried them yet, but I am dying to taste them and see what a fresh, organic egg looks like.  I'll let you know!

It is tiny, but oh so clean when it comes out.

I thought Emmy was going to drop it since she wouldn't put it down.

I am one proud mommy and I love to show my girlies off.  They LOVE getting those pink foam curlers in their hair on Saturday night for church.

The finished product with the curlers out.  Ainsley thinks she's Hannah Montana and loves to pose.

I would like to thank those of you who take the time to ask me how our little family is getting along.  It can be so difficult at times and I tell people that yes, time does heal, but not fast enough.  We love and appreciate all of you and your kindness and friendship to us.  I took my mom and the girls to visit Eden today and it always calms my heart to be near her.  I know she is really not there, but for me it is a physical place I can go and talk to her and the girls know that is where their sissy is.  We took her some new mylar balloons and Ainsley told her that we would bring her a toy from Disneyland and some Halloween flowers when we get home.  The grass has grown in so nicely and they are preparing to plant winter grass.  I really can't wait until I can go visit her without it being so hot I am miserable.  It is so interesting to me how Ainsley just loves to stay at the cemetery as long as possible.  She only spends a few minutes next to Eden's site, but she loves walking around.  I think it is comforting to her as well and a way for her to process and deal with everything.  A few nights ago she told us that she wanted a little brother, but not a sister because they get sick and die and brothers don't.  I do hope that we can have a brother (or sister) that is not sick next time!
