I know you thought Egg hunts were for Easter, right? But at the Friesen house an exciting thing happened this week. Speckles, Ellie’s chicken started laying eggs. Ben, who’s attitude towards the chicken was hostile at first (“freeloader” was a word he used) now exclaims that Speckles is the greatest chicken ever. . . because she now earns her keep. Here are a combination of Valentine’s Day and Egg finding pictures. Ellie loves her chicken so much and looks forward to feeding her everyday, and now checking to see if Speckles made an egg.

Here are a few more pictures of Ellie and her friends from a Valentine’s day brunch our husbands organized at church. The pictures were taken just before the girls went off to the nursery so moms and dads could enjoy a romantic brunch. (PS: The baby I’m holding in the photo is not ours! Lucy Scarlett won’t be due for another 2 months).
