Getting along!

I have some good workers.

Domonique like to have a helper.

Harmonie likes to be needed.

It works out for both of them.

Camdilyn loves her littlest sister!

Naomi and the rooster

It is no surprise that Naomi loves to go outside. She sees the other guys go outside and she'll take me over to her coat, jibber jabber something and pat her coat or knock on the door to the arctic entry. She is ready to go outside. So today she enjoyed herself and loved petting the rooster. The rooster is our old alpha male who was beaten by a younger rooster so he is no longer in with all the other chickens. He is the rooster who would protect the kids from Jack (the mean rooster that died a little while ago). Jack would start to attack the kids as they gathered eggs or filled the feeder. The kids would yell or call for Anna (the other rooster) and he would run at Jack and chase him off. It was amazing and wonderful and we all love our special rooster. It will be a sad day for all of us when he dies.

Camdilyn loves dressing like Naomi - 

or any of her other sisters.

Harmonie wanted her picture taken, too.

Tower time with the girls

Jenga blocks are not just for Jenga.

My kids love to use them to build with.

We also use regular blocks to build with.

I love it when they are playing together so nicely.

Precious love

Domonique received hair stuff from Grandma Graham for her birthday a few days ago, and Xiomara let Domonique do her hair today. It was just so sweet to see the delight and joy in Domonique's face because she did Xiomara's hair all by herself. What a sweet gift Xiomara gave to her little sister.

Tolerant baby with lots of love!

Harmonie loves her baby sister.

Naomi tried to sleep through most of the attention.

 It hasn't snowed much,

but it is certainly windy.

We like the way it looks,

but it's much better to stay inside!

Last Day of December!

We had an elephant and giraffe visit us. 

I must say they were the cutest I have ever seen.

Peas in a pod

And yet, they are so different. I am so grateful for their loving fun attitudes and their ability to forgive each other. It isn't always easy but they work together.

Sweet little sisters

Just so cute and sweet.

Love them both to pieces!

Only Love Here

Camdilyn loves Naomi.

She is always ready to hold her.

She is so sweet to her baby.

She loves her little hands and feet.

She is always ready to give kisses.

Little Buddies

These little girls are so cute together, most of the time. Because the older guys are busy with school most of the morning every day, these two have some time to pass on their own. They have gotten really good at "reading" books, coloring, or playing together and staying out of trouble, most of the time. They also enjoy being with Mom whenever possible, playing or reading or tickling or whatever. They are sweet little things and I love them to pieces!
