Spring Babies
What started out at a ho-hum weekend definitely picked up momentum as it rolled along! I spent the entire morning Saturday curled up reading the new Jodi Picoult book, "Handle With Care'. I haven't read a book that good in a looooong time. I highly recommend it. Ran into neighbor Aaron in the afternoon and he said that Terri, his wife, was finally experiencing some labor pains. She was due last Saturday and it's been a looong week of waiting for them! I had told him that when the time came to go, to just call me and I'd come get their firstborn baby, Brinkley and babysit while his new brother was being born. Ben was uber thrilled! He and Brinks have been buddies for a while now and Ben, well, Ben just loves him a sleepover! 
Aren't they handsome boys? This is one of the only good shots I got of them since they are in almost constant motion, playing. Plus Brinkley seems to be very camera curious so most of my shots look like this:
Both dogs slept on the bed with me last night. Go ahead and look back at that picture of the two of them laying by the kitchen....I'll wait. Yeah! Both BIG boys! Brinkley slept in the bed's passenger side like a human with his head on the pillow and Ben slept at the foot like always and they never budged all night. Didn't have a speck of problem.
Friend Donna called this morning wicked excited. She had found these four babies in her garden shed. I went out with an abandoned kitten kit and some blankets and we got them warmed up and fed. They are between 8-14 days old. Their eyes are open but they are still blue, blue, blue. One of the little guys had fallen between two boards in the shed and couldn't get out. One is a little weaker than his siblings and they were all hungry and cold. Looks like Donna was their angel of mercy today. She was working in the garden with her husband when they heard their crying. I told her since they were in the garden shed, they should be named, 'Parsley, Sage, Rosemary and Thyme'!

Fancy pushin' there, Terri! It went so well, that they even came home early this afternoon! I haven't seen him yet but I'm thrilled that he's finally here!
Here are some new babies that I HAVE seen today.
I know. Awwwww, right?
