Well it happened. It finally happened. I was starting to wonder if perhaps Jesus, the most famous chicken in the coup, was a girl or a boy! But she laid an egg. Yes, you heard it here first. She LAID AN EGG!! A little egg, mind you, but an egg just the same. A small white egg. Do you think I could sell it on ebay for a lot of money? How many eggs do you think have been laid out of chickens named Jesus? I am willing to bet a large sum of money this is a rare specimen indeed! In addition to Jesus, some of the other girls are warming up their feathers by spending time sitting on the nests and laying some eggs also as the days grow longer. I had forgotten how much I missed collecting eggs every day. We get 2-3 a day now and it will grow to 6-8 as summer arrives. I plan on adding more hens and chicks to the flock this spring.
Both of my cousins have added new babies to their families in the past month. My cousin, Katy, in Colorado, had a little girl named Allison Taylor to join another sister named Emily. Her brother/my cousin Jeff and his wife Kim, living in Texas, had a little boy on Valentine's Day that they named Benjamin Robert who will join his other brother Matthew. You know what's funny, well at least to me, is all the cousins in our family have 2 kids and they are all the same sex. My sister has two boys, I have two girls, my cousin Katy has 2 girls and now my cousin Jeff has two boys. I am always happy to hear about now additions to our family.
We have someone living in our guest house. He was Doug's medical assistant and we are all enjoying his company. It is especially nice for Doug to have another guy at here at Camp Estrogen. They can do guy things like ride dirt bikes and play Need for Speed on the Wii. Boys will be boys.
Doug's aunt, Karen, was featured on the front page on our local paper to celebrate her contribution to our community by folding origami cranes for people to help brighten their days. She has given a number to our hospital and they have hung them and have said they help the children when they are having procedures done and they can focus on the crane instead of the needles. Below is one of the pictures they used in their article. Congrats Karen!
That is all friends.

Are you NUTS? Are you sure you want to go down "Chick" road again? Don't you remember what that entails? How many eggs does one estrogen filled family need anyway? LOL
