My side of the family is slowly trickling into the state for their annual vacations in Maine, for two weeks this year instead of the usual 7 days. It's nice though, getting to see each group when they arrive instead of showing up to 20-something people all at once, all in one house. It will be that level of craziness come Sunday, when they're planning to throw (yet another) baby shower for us. Much as I enjoy not spending money, three baby showers is too damn high. I'm hopeful that my brother found the copy of Go the F#$k to Sleep we gave them when my niece was born.
One of our ducks, Pearl, hatched out a dozen little babies under my potting bench. While she's exceptional at hatching them, she is a less than stellar mother and I have been responding to alarm peeps regularly while she sits around with the ones who manage to keep up with her.
