I love animals! I am always amazed by the details of God's creation shown through them. Where we live, there is a "spring" that runs through the apartment complex. Last year, about the time Ella was born, a duck couple had their 10 ducklings. This year, the ducks returned and Ella has fallen in love with visiting them each day, and feeding them bread. I've noticed the past week, the "Mama" duck hasn't been around much, but the "Dada" duck would ever faithfully be perched on a rock in the stream seemingly watching everyone passing by. Today, unloading groceries, I saw the reason the Mama duck has been missing...she was busy keeping her 15 eggs warm! Today, she and the Dada duck (I love that they truly are a couple and watch after their ducklings together!) took them for their first swim. Absolutely adorable! Ella is napping now, and I can't wait for her to wake up and show her all the ducklings. She's going to go nuts saying "duck-duck". I still can't get over that she had 15 ducklings, I'm so glad I'm only preggers with one!

Wow! That is so cool that you have ducks in your little stream. I know my kids would spend days there if we had them that close to us. How fun!
We love when you say "Duck-Duck" Ella
Duck Duck!
