Emma the Baby Duck

-
I saw the cutest thing at church on Wednesday night.
Walking in the door from outside
was a very nice young man and following
him was a duck. At first I thought the duck
just randomly was in the church parking lot,
but Earl (that's the young man) told
me that the duck's name is Emma
and she is part of a school project.
He is raising her and teaching her
things and part of what he has
taught her is to follow him.
Adorable!
At one point, Emma decided, much like a little
child, that she didn't want to follow Earl anymore.
She wanted to follow someone else.
But Emma, like a good duck,
listened to Earl and was soon following him again.
By the way, I got permission from Earl,
though not from Emma, to put this
picture on my blog.

That duck is so TINY! As the Mommy of a two-year old, I'm very impressed that he has been able to successfully teach his little duck to follow. :)

I agree with Allison, and she teaches two year olds and is the mother of one sweet girl. What an interesting project!

Love Present from a Friend

One of my favorite things in the whole wide world is to receive a Love Present . The definition of a Love Present is a gift that someone gives you for no special occasion, but just because. My sweet friend, Claudia, came by the other day with the cutest dishes. She had found them at an antiques store and she said they just looked like me. Don't they make a beautiful display in my kitchen bookshelves? Thank you, Claudia, for the dishes, but most of all for the thought behind the Love Present .

Skippyjon Jones and Kohl's

I'm not sure if I should thank my friend Mindy for letting me know that Kohl's is featuring Skippyjon Jones items in their stores, or whether I should send her the bill for the items I purchased. I actually restrained myself (although all items purchased are not displayed in the picture.) There are many more Skippy Jon Jones items at your local Kohl's. Let me just give Kohl's  and their Kohl's Cares program a shout out. I am so impressed with their commitment to local charities benefitting children. All the items above were $5.00 each with the total proceeds going to charity. "Kohl's Cares thanks you for over a decade of dedication and hundreds of millions of dollars raised.  100% of the net profit from the sale of this item will be donated to support kids' health and education initiatives in communities nationwide. Since 2000, more than $180 million has been raised through our Kohl's Cares cause merchandize program." For more information, vi

Swing High, Swing Low

Jeremy made me swings for under the deck and his boys are already enjoying them. This is Aaron's smile face. Caleb's smile face. Wee!  This is fun! Learning to hold on tight. Don't you just love his shoes? This boy loves Sesame Street characters as much as his brother loves super heroes.   Since Sweetie is here visiting, she got to enjoy the swings too.
