The Great Duck Debacle!

Well, we returned from Las Vegas back in one piece and not too broke. Luckily, neither one of us are big gamblers so not much was left in the slot machines! Unfortunately though, while we were gone, Momma duck had some type of post-partum freak out and left her eggs (or at least what was left of the eggs) to hard boil in the sun. We keep waiting hoping that maybe she will come to her senses and come back, but things aren’t looking to good for the duck population! There are still five eggs in the nest. We are hoping (and telling the kids) that she moved the other four, but I am not even sure that is possible. We can hope though, right!?!?!?

Funny thing is that we complained the entire time that the duck was there because she was destroying our pool. Now we are kinda sad because she’s gone. Typical, huh!

Anyways, like I said, we got back from Vegas in one piece and so did our luggage!!! Yeah for us! The wedding was beautiful and we met some of the most wonderful people that we hope to continue being friends with. I can’t say that our wedding adventures have been to sweet on our pocketbooks, but we have been really lucky both times to meet some wonderful people! I didn’t take to many pictures, but will add the ones that I did take to my picasa album within the next couple of days.

Also, while we were gone, Anthony decided to get his second tooth....we were in Florida when he got his first tooth and now in Vegas with the second. I figure if we just keep going out of town, he should have a full set of choppers soon! He is crawling all over the place and pulling up on everything! We lost count of the goose eggs that he has had a couple of weeks ago! He takes after his daddy and has no fear! He often forgets that he can’t walk and just let’s go of things which almost always ends up with the same conclusion....him falling! Brian hasn’t quite gotten used to him falling yet and still makes the gasping sound as we watch him take a nose dive into the floor, which usually just worsens the situation. I keep telling him that it will get easier, but it’s cute to watch (not the baby hurting himself, of course, but Brian’s reaction!)

Other than that, all is pretty normal...or as normal as it can get around our casa! Hope everyone has a safe and fun Fourth of July!
