Chickens and Lambs and Emus, OH MY!


Our friends Kari and Dean invited us out to their farm so Bennett could see all their animals, check out this video of Bennett when he first saw an emu... 





How lucky for us, we got to meet this little lamb who was only one day old!  She was calling out for her mama and Bennett was concerned about why the little lamb was sad... he cares so much about others' emotions... hmm, wonder where he gets that from?!!




Little lamb back in her happy place, right by her mama :)




This was how Bennett was the whole time we were there... on high alert as to the whereabouts of the three emus!!!  He was so nervous about them!  Their names were Emily, Elizabeth, and Ernie.


He loved the puppies and chickens too.  It was a great visit on a beautiful spring evening!
Thank you Kari & Dean for inviting us over!

Aunt Emily (Springer)'s visit!

Love at first sight!




Learning to multi-task, a necessity when taking care of these two!









The weather got SUPER nice while Emily was here!  We took my new double stroller out for it's maiden voyage, and what a success... best purchase i've made in a long time!







Tailgating in the HOT SUN at 49 Degrees North!!!!  
Mmmm... life is good :)



Bennett was going to ski but he fell asleep instead!  He napped in the back of the explorer.




Quality time with my dear sister :) :) :)






An easter egg hunt for Bennett in the backyard, he loved finding the eggs 
(probably only because I put a piece of chocolate in each one!).






Aunties lovin up on little Sawyer :)





"Bye Emily! I love you! Thanks for traveling all that way to meet me. I loved spending lots of time in your arms!  Sorry I sprayed poop on you!"


My baby is growing too fast...





Why can't he stay small forever?!!
