the brew*crew adventure

A baby will make love stronger, days shorter, nights longer, bankroll smaller, home happier, clothes shabbier, the past forgotten, and the future worth living for.

yet, similar... that's what I love about siblings. It's always so fascinating to me to see how different they are from eachother, and yet so alike as to be recognized by strangers as being family. Each child uniquely from the same lineage, and yet their inherited traits from both of the parents endlessy varying in each individual... simply miraculous and wonderful to behold!

This has especially been on my mind lately, since N and I have been studying dna and genetics together this week (and having all sorts of interesting discussion as we read about genetics, cloning, etc.) for his co-op science class.

For You formed my inward parts;
You covered me in my mother’s womb.
I will praise You, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made;
Marvelous are Your works,
And that my soul knows very well.
My frame was not hidden from You,
When I was made in secret,
And skillfully wrought in the lowest parts of the earth.
Your eyes saw my substance, being yet unformed.
And in Your book they all were written,
The days fashioned for me,
When as yet there were none of them.

~ Psalm 139.13-16

PhotoHunt 100 theme: different

Here T was holding N's nose for him, per his request, as he hauled a particularly stinky load of trash down to the side of the road (dead groundhog in there - I ran over him the other day, he was on the edge of our driveway as I pulled up. The kids weren't with me, it all happened so fast, instincts kicked in, and next thing I knew...*Oops!* *CLUNK* heh!)... Yeah, back to the sweet picture here, it was taken yesterday even. Now is that sibling love in action, or what?! Pure sweetness! I'm so glad that I caught the moment (of the kids here, not the groundhog in his vulnerability!)! LOL

A bit ironic that my "sweet" post here would involve the brutal carnage of war... no?

Saturday Photo Hunt 64: Sweet

I took these pictures yesterday. The golden Buff Orpington is one of our mature hens, a "survivor". The black and whites are two of our new Spring chicks, Plymouth Barred Rocks. They're maturing so fast, and should be laying by October! I think the chickens are just so cute, that I couldn't pick just one pic...
