Geese just want to have fun!

Last week Janice was playing with Joelle when without warning Nathaniel came running and jumping and screaming and bursting with excitement. "Mommy! Come quick! Mommy come QUICK! Come SEE!" He had something to show Janice that just could not wait.

Some of our more fuzzy and feathery neighbors wanted to see our new swing set. Such an occasion required some Southern hospitality. Janice found a bag of saltines and soon the boys were scattering them among the goslings. Being very generous with his guests, Ben soon ran out of crackers. Not to be rude, he quickly ran inside, searched through the pantry and ran back out wildly waving a canister over the ducks. Once the scene came in to focus, Janice realized the ducks were being showered with colorful candy sprinkles. As far as Ben was concerned, a "must have" for any celebration. It was a fun morning!

Also concerning the swing set... Nathaniel left me a voice mail at work a week or so before it arrived. I have just recently figured out how to capture the sound for posterity. Click here to listen to his message.
