Our new BABIES..MAYBE

Introducing... JEWEL, EASTER, JOHN DEERE, PECKER, OLA, JOHN DEERE JR., HARLEY and 15 of their closest friends. 22 possible babies in all. I refuse to name mine until I hold them in my arms-adoptive mom habit I guess. We are incubating these eggs for school, Easter and just for fun! We bought an incubator on EBAY and got eggs from a home school friend (thanks Diana) and now we will wait.....

If my calculations are correct (it takes 21 days) we should have some baby chicks by good Friday-RIGHT WHEN THE CAPTAIN GOES BACK TO WORK-never fails :) Me-6 kids and 22 baby chicks-FUN TIMES PEEPS! I am SO EXCITED for the kids to learn responsibility with this project-they have to turn the eggs 2-3 times a day, check the temperature, moisture and help THE CAPTAIN build a chicken house.

Then they will feed and water their babies. I sure hope some hatch out after all this work. If not, we'll buy some chicks.
I will NEVER FORGET my mom and dad getting me a baby duck as a child. His name was "QUACKER" and he lived in the house, I dressed him, he cuddled with the cat, rode in a wagon and slept with me until he got too big and went to live at a farm.

THANKS MOM AND DAD FOR THAT MEMORY-I'm sure it was a real pain!

The Captain...I love this guy...

Tears came to me when I saw this picture. God arranged it so THE CAPTAIN had a layover in Omaha, NE last night. RIGHT DOWN THE ROAD FROM ISAIAH!

Let me just share that The Captain (like most men in my family) don't really DIG THE HOSPITAL SCENE. Especially when a sick child is involved.

He didn't even THINK TWICE about going to visit Isaiah-I do believe that this visit changed a lot inside THE CAPTAIN. It was very emotional for him.

Thank you honey, for caring about my sweet friend and her boy and thank you God for allowing this visit to happen!

Is THIS A PROBLEM?

Is it a big deal that my son wears a leotard with his JOHN DEERE BOOTS and Power Ranger underwear? Keep in mind, he's got 2 sisters the same age as him :)

This is the kind of NONSENSE I allow while The Captain is away!

This FAMILY NEEDS OUR HELP!

This is my friend Jen, hubby Aaron and son Isaiah. You can visit their blog HERE.

Isaiah is having surgery TODAY at noon-please join me in praying for my dear friend and her family. Jen & Aaron adopted Isaiah despite his MANY medical problems.

Jenni is not able to be with Isaiah during his surgery. Isaiah is in Omaha and Jen is busy working in Kansas City. I can't imagine being away from my baby during this time but Jenni has to work to keep the family going. Her husband is with Isaiah today.

It is VERY DIFFICULT for this family to live in one place and have Isaiah in a totally different state. With gas money, travel expenses, lodging and food it is VERY EXPENSIVE!

So, I'm asking you, out of the goodness of your heart-If you feel led to help this family-there are 2 ways.

#1 You can join Isaiah's FIGHT on facebook and donate with a debit/credit card. CLICK HERE TO GO TO ISAIAH'S CAUSE on facebook.

#2 You can mail a check to their church-write ISAIAH somewhere on envelope or in the memo of your check
