Why did the chidckens cross the road?
I don't know, but its very embarrassing when the neighbors have to slow down for our chickens! We have 4 hens...now. Just today we had to say goodbye to our beloved rooster, Batman. He was becoming aggressive towards the kids when they gathered eggs, so now he's dinner. As farm kids, Sam and Cora helped Josh kill and clean the rooster...very ethically for all you PETA members (which we like to think of as "People Eating Tasty Animals"). Now all we have to worry about is how to eat all our eggs...which we do a lot!
Also today, Sam got his kindergarten shots and Eli got his first immunizations. They both did great. We were actually given a shot record for Eli, but our pediatrician and the international doctor suggested starting over since the record was partly in Amharic and based on another calendar. Also, they may have been different doses and/or expired.
Other happenings on the farm today...Sam found a bird egg and sat it, because he wanted to hatch it of course. Cora pulled her pants down and peed standing up in the yard...doesn't work as well for her as her brothers. Eli ate his first scrambled eggs and loved them, but did spit up on me. Can you see a theme here....LAUNDRY!!!!

Batman only got what he had coming - that'll teach the rest of the chickens to mess with the kids.
I've been at Nellis AFB in NV for about 2 weeks now - just 1 week to go. We've been flying with F-22's, F-15's and A-10's. It's been a lot of fun but I can't wait to get home.
I also got my new Callsign (nickname) ...
SPIDER - it's a long story but at least it sounds cool.
God Bless & Happy Easter,

I loved the bit about Cora trying to pee like the boys. that will so be my daughter in the coming months. I also love reading your blog as it makes me think of what it will be like when we adopt: two existing kiddos in the house and then the newest addition!
