Skaging

Starling occasionally refers to herself in the third person as ... SKA-GING. There's something so fierce and Viking-like about it. We love our little Skaging. 

Also she says "nope" to many many things that we ask her if she's interested in. Sometimes she'll be running busily off with something on her mind just as someone will say, "Hi Starling!". Without a pause, she'll simply cut them off with a, "Nope!" -- as if she has no time to be bothered with whatever pleasantries they might have to offer.

One thing I find fascinating about her is how smiles transform her face. Serious Starling and Smiling Starling look like two different babies to me!

Dear little cherub. We love her. 

And, to end, a few more trampoline pictures, as well as a few of Penny for some office posters. "Vote Penny. It just makes cents."

Oh, and one last one of Star watching Penny's first ever track meet. (No picture of Penny because she ran by much before I expected her and I missed the shot!) Also a few of Anders holding our gray chicken the day before it passed away. (It was seeming a bit slow and out of sorts. So Anders gave it some attention. And was glad he did when we discovered that day was his last. I'm pretty sure the little fella was about 100 years old though, so he had a good life. Uhhh ... also ... that hen is not an "it" or a "he" or a "little fella", rather, a she. My bad.) Lastly, you can see the kids looking under the deck and trying to give alfalfa to the goat Mike rented for Spring Break. Initially it spent much of its time hiding from us under our deck.

She is so dear!! And she really does look transformed when she smiles. But I must know; is it Skah-ging or Skagg-ing? I wish I could hear it in her little voice. Sweetie.

What beautiful hair all your girls have! (And these pictures don't even include Daisy's glorious head.) I love it all fluffed out around Mette as she jumps on the trampoline. :)

Ah yes. Skah-ging. It’s so funny to me that she could interpret Starling in that manner!

And their hair is miraculous particularly when one considers the genes their mother gave them ... which include only a small helping of thin hair.
