I know Hermione has grown this week. She seems HUGE to me. So I can’t figure out why in her “duck and egg” shot she doesn’t look even half an inch longer. In fact, she looks smaller to me. Why is this? Oh well. It’s hard to tell in the picture, but she (and Ron too) is growing juvenile feathers. They are just little “pin” feathers now, but when they are grown in they’ll spread out into full feathers. For comparison, let’s review. Week One:

Week Two:

And today (Week Three):

Here you can see the upright stance that is typical of an Indian Runner:

Dog and ducks:

And now, the promised kid pics. Monty and Eli are too busy playing Viva Pinata on the Xbox for pictures. So you’ll have to settle for a few of Everett. Oh, and there’s a silly one of me at the bottom. Here they are:

Helping Doo fix his car. He needs the help, too:

Running the Suburban Homestead “Tractor”:

Showing Mommy how to open the door:

And, finally, me. I know, it’s a goofy picture. But I’m usually holding the camera, so it’s at least something:

Oh, yeah! You have red hair!

Hi Sweetie. I just took some time to relax and view your cuteness photos. You’ve got quite a mini farm going. Well done! Sure have enjoyed seeing Everett. He’s getting quite tall now (even taking into account the photos’ distortions). I remember the days when we did a lot of the same things with goats, chickens (Yuk), and llamas and a black sheep and a Hinny.
Remember the time we moved to Cathy’s Valley in the motorhome with one goat, two rabbits, one dog, and two cats. That was quite a time. We then collected a black sheep, 4 llamas, and pony another dog, some ducks and two pygmy goats.
I guess it runs in the family.
