kids these days

Playing with their toy phones in the car:

Lydia: "Snap! Mom, I just took your picture!"

Playing along: "Delete it! I haven't taken a shower today!"

Lydia: "Too late!  I just posted it on Facebook....AND sent it to Reggie!"

Reggie: "(makes text message sound) Haha! That's the funniest thing I've ever seen!"

wedan family grows by two

Yep, that's right, we have two new family members...

I'll give you a hint, they can both squeeze into a Kleenex box....


 
Any guesses?
 

 
Meet our guinea pigs, Milo (with black) and Chase (without black).

Thank you for bringing the guinea pigs over last week.  Good news, I think we're allergy free!  It has been a bit of a transition, but I think the piggies are settling into our family nicely.  As you suggested, I made a "cozy sack" out of fleece, and that has really helped the kids with holding them securely.  It has also helped to just have one kid at a time have playtime with them.
Thanks again,
Joy
 
In proper Wedan fashion, we adopted them from a local rescue.  I have had all kinds of animals, but never guinea pigs.  We are all still getting used to each other.

 
Lydia adores them, Brett is very curious about them, and Reggie is grounded from them...

happy 5th birthday, Reggie


Reggie is 5!  And, boy, is he excited about it! Everywhere we go, everyone he talks to, he says, “I’m five!” He keeps telling Lydia that he is the same age as her.  She doesn’t like that very much and argues that she is the oldest.  Reggie is affectionate, friendly, energetic, and oh-so-handsome.  His need for adventure will be keeping us on our toes for years to come.  We love our Reckit Reggie!
