one of these things (is not like the other)

  

We have a confused bunny.  A very confused bunny. 

You see, he thinks he's a chicken. 

He eats with them.  He plays with them. 

He tries to sleep with them.

He also tries to mate with them.

(Pictures not included.  This is a family blog, after all. ;)

Unfortunately, while (ehem) hopping up on their backs, he has badly injured two of them, to the degree where they needed some serious TLC to recuperate.  Inside.  I was thrilled.  (I mean, who wouldn't want a full grown chicken in the house?  That's all just part of the fun, right?)

So now they are in a chicken run, and he is not allowed to socialize with them. 

He is sad.  And a bit lonely.  It's quite upsetting when we feed the chickens but do not share the food with him.  He stands up against the coop and longs for his favorite food and company. 

I think we may need an intervention. 

We are hoping that a girlfriend may help.

For your viewing pleasure....  A blast from the past.

Trust

  

Creation Groans from Christian Alliance for Orphans on Vimeo.

Trust is believing that GOD will tell us when our family is complete.  

It is believing that His plans for our family are good, even if they challenge us. 

Trust is leaning on the knowledge that He will provide.  

It is asking Him for the courage to follow wherever He takes us.  

Trust is teaching our children that God is good, all the time, and that WE are part of the answer to the orphan crisis. 

Every one of us. 

No matter what role He gives us. :)

It's the Dad Life

LOVE this.  No matter how many times we see it.  On a blah day, we all need our life as parents glorified a bit, right? :)  (Double click on the movie to see it full size.)

little sister lovin'

Keandre pointed out that he and Brooklyn match today -- both wearing brown.  Then he asked me to take a picture of the two of them together.  Unfortunately, Brooklyn was tired and soon dissolved into tears.  But Keandre handled it with grace and proved he had the situation under control!  He began rocking back and forth and singing to her, and soon had his baby sister calm again. 

He sometimes accomplishes this same feat by fetching her paci for her, and then he announces with great excitement and just a touch of pride, "I fixed it!  She's not crying!" I love his enthusiasm toward life as a big brother.
