chirp chirp

gosh it's been a long time since a real blog entry. my excuses include:

a trip to VA to visit the great-grandparents
Mayden being very sick for 5 days straight
Cameron being mildly sick for 1 day
starting a new job with the US Census (i've been in training since Tuesday)

that about does it.

can you believe it's already time for some hatching to occur in our house. we're expecting them to hatch Friday/Saturday (30th/1st). I've done some candling of the eggs and it looks like at least a few were developing normally. some of the eggs are pretty dark so it was hard to tell. a few looked like they weren't fertilized but i kept them in just in case i was wrong. i'd be very surprised if they all hatched like they did last time.

so today after work & dinner i took the kids to Tractor Supply Co. to pick up some much needed chickie supplies.

and it's a good thing because tonight after i put the kids to bed i heard our first little chirp coming from one of these eggs! stay tuned for hatching news this weekend!
