The Golden Egg hasArrived...

After the arrival of my baby chicks this past spring, I've patiently awaited the arrival of the very first egg...

Chicks.

I can remember when the 3 little bundles of joy came home and we made them a nice little nest in the basement.  Every morning I would go downstairs and give each one some tough love, cuddling and kissing them.  They used to fit in my hands together...

My bundles of joy.

As the girls grew, I became a little suspicious that the girls were not all girls.  Alice, June, and Sue Ellen were their names - until two started growing larger combs and making a noise that resembled the noise a rooster would make in the morning (or all hours in the day).

So Alice - stayed Alice...but...Sue Ellen became Stanley Edward and June became July.  Unfortunately, I was unable to have roosters in town - and my heart was attached, so my loving mother offered to adopt my children.

The kids moved from city chicks to country chicks and now live in a fashionable chicken coop.

This coop was a family work of love.  Mom did the designing and much of the labor, dad measured a bit, Payton oversaw the construction, Kirsten helped paint the door and I helped put the last set of boards on the coop.  I knew we needed the coop ready for the first golden egg.  Motherly instinct served me right for my little chicks are no longer chicks - they are chickens...

...and Alice was ready to lay her first egg.

The golden egg arrived on Wednesday, September 21, 2011.  I received a text from my mother informing me of this event - and I about flew out my chair at work.  I was so proud of my Alice and so excited that the first egg had arrived.  Much to our surprise - she layed another one later that day.  She is a rockstar.

To my chicks that are all grown up.  Here's to the Alice - the egg laying machine, Stanley Edward - a rooster that thinks he's all that, and July - I hope your voice matures soon too (his call is a little weak right now).

Hoping all of you had a fabulous weekend.
Love and Hugs -
Rach
