Look Who's Walking
Katelyn has been taking a few steps. We had to coax her with pancakes for this video production. I'll keep you updated on her progress.

Look who's 10 months old yesterday!
Katelyn comes to visit every Tuesday & Thursday while her Mommy is in class at EIU. She loves to watch the chickens. Active would be one word to describe Katelyn she is always on the move.

Hair blowing in the wind
I was so excited Katelyn has enough hair to blow in the wind, but she was more interested in getting a sip of her mommy's drink.

Katelyn & Grandpa
Katelyn finally grew into her hat. She always wanted to wear Grandpa's hat but pink is more her color.
Alison said Katelyn has two speeds fast and faster!

Proud of her new shoes!
Finally Katelyn grew into her new shoes. Great Aunt Marcy cleaned out the clearance rack so she has about 4 more pairs to grow into!

Katelyn Standing
Still photos can't capture all Katelyn's actions. Notice about halfway in the video she stands alone. Any predictions on when she will start walking?

More Katelyn Crawling
The pressure is on Alison to post pictures, since they are back home and I don't see Katelyn everyday. We miss her but are happy Alison is well again (minus her gallbladder) and back in her regular routine.
Alison had the power to go home all the time...... she only needed to click her ruby slippers 3 times and say there is no place like home!

Happy Father's Day!
Father's Day Poem
Fathers are wonderful people
Too little understood,
And we do not sing their praises
As often as we should...
For, somehow, Father seems to be
The man who pays the bills,
While Mother binds up little hurts
And nurses all our ills...
And Father struggles daily
To live up to "HIS IMAGE"
As protector and provider
And "hero or the scrimmage"...
And perhaps that is the reason
We sometimes get the notion,
That Fathers are not subject
To the thing we call emotion,
But if you look inside Dad's heart,
Where no one else can see
You'll find he's sentimental
And as "soft" as he can be...
But he's so busy every day
In the grueling race of life,
He leaves the sentimental stuff
To his partner and his wife...
But Fathers are just WONDERFUL
In a million different ways,
And they merit loving compliments
And accolade of praise,
For the only reason Dad aspires
To fortune and success
Is to make the family proud of him
And to bring them happiness...
And like OUR HEAVENLY FATHER,
He's a guardian and a guide,
Someone that we can count on
To be ALWAYS ON OUR SIDE.

Party favor for Katelyn
Great Aunt Marcy brought home party favors and cupcakes from Tristen's birthday party. Katelyn loved the glasses and Grandma loved the cupcakes!
My Beautiful Hollyhock Doll
I'm counting on Patty to remember making these dolls.......no one else remembers.
Saturday, June 13, 2009
Did you do this when you were little?
Seeing the hollyhocks in bloom made me think of making dolls. I never had any look this good but wanted to see if anyone else remembers make hollyhock dolls. Life used to be so simple.

Mamma Hen & Her Little Brood
FYI:
Out of 12 eggs 4 hatched.
The rooster did his job all eggs were fertilized and the ones that didn't hatch were at different stages of development.
None of the blue eggs hatched.
All chicks have feathered feet.
Pullets or roosters? Gender not know yet.
Jim is in the process of building me a new condo for the little brood.
This has been a exciting project. You can learn alot from the barnyard, but not many families have barns anymore.

Patty provided the fertilized eggs and I had the broody hen, so this is a joint effort.
