A birthday and a big surprise!

This strong boy in the picture above is my nephew, who becomes a teenager today. As you can see he was a very big help during the building of our house:) Happy birthday, Lucien! May your teen years be filled with grace and growth in mind, body and spirit.

As we returned from Lucien's birthday celebration last night and I was putting the kids to bed, I checked on Sammy's new hamster, Peachy. Sammy wanted me to pick her up, and when I did, little pink things dropped out from under her! Peachy had babies! Several of them, by the looks. We quickly got them back into her little nest. The information I looked up on the computer said the best thing we can do is leave them all alone for a couple of weeks. Even though we want to see those little babies, we will let them be, so...no pictures. But what a neat surprise!
