Make Way for Ducklings! :) And cute kids.

Hi everyone. We' d like you to meet the latest additions to our family. These are our ducks, Graham Quacker and Quacker Jack. (we started out with Graham and Quacker, but a fight ensured, both children wanting theirs to be Quacker, so we had to think of another name.) Jason just came home from work one day, and said we have to get a duck, so we got the kids each one yesterday. His little brother Seth used to have a pet duck that we all loved, so we knew they make good pets.

Right now they have to be under a heat lamp for a few weeks. They are in the basement in a 6x4 playgate, and a cardboard box for warmth. In a few weeks we will move them to the garage, and then wean them to the outdoors.
  1. We let them out of the playgate a few times a day, and let them run around in the basement, which the kids LOVE, and I think the ducks do too.




    The kids love to sit and watch them eat and sleep, and can be found often perched on these chairs in the basement.
    I know, a lot of pictures of ducks.... Just think how many I'll post when the BABY arrives!!
    Here are a few pics of the kids after church this Easter morning.
