Happy Birthday to Caden!

Caden turned two this month. How fast time flies!

A few things about Caden:

He has beautiful big brown eyes that make me melt.


He got an RC car for his birthday - he likes to "shoot" it to make it go.


He loves his baby sister and he now calls all the dolls in the house "Bets."


He really likes to play outside.


The ducks are not afraid of him, but they should be.


He started calling me "Mommy Reeder" this week - it cracks me up!

Duck Update

In five short weeks the ducks have gone from these adorable little things that were cute enough to be allowed to follow Robyn around the kitchen to...



these gigantic things that are still very amusing but no longer cute enough to live in the kitchen.



They are almost fully feathered with their juvenile feathers. One of them quacked at me yesterday (as opposed to the usual baby peeping) so I am really hoping that means she is a girl.

It is fun to watch them, they each have very different personalities.

New Babies

Okay, so they are not THE new baby, but they are pretty cute. We got them on Tuesday and already they have grown quite a bit.
They are Indian Runner ducklings. We won't know if we got boys or girls until they feather out. Cross your fingers for girls!
