Kids colored eggs for Easter

All the kids helped color eggs for Easter. Happy Easter!

They loved using the clear colored crayon to create these unique eggs.

Kitten's eyes are opening at 9 days old

Here is baby #2 born on April 3rd. Now 9 days old. One eye has opened and the other is half open. All the other kittens eyes are still closed. The first two kittens are growing quickly and this one squeals very loudly when Aurora (Mom cat) is out of the box.

Aurora's babies are about four days old today

The top picture shows how the babies curl up with each other when their mom steps out of the box to eat and get a drink of water. They curl up and stay that way until Mom returns. As soon as she steps into the box, they squeal like crazy.

Barn cat #2 has four babies!

This picture shows their colors a bit better (above).

Here is proud Mommy Sapphire with her brand new 4 baby kittens. One orange, two tan colored, and one almost the same gray colors as mom. They were born some time today. Since she was trying to squish Aurora's babies yesterday we had to put her back in the barn last night. Today she gave birth in a box that was in one of the barns. Since we did not see the birthing of the babies, we do not know the order in which they were born. The kids are excited, however we have to separate the two mom's. Aurora continuously tries to get into Sapphires box. It's snowing out and too cold for them all to survive outside.

Well 2 kittens is all she had. She is curled up, purring up a storm, and the babies appear healthy and eating well. Mom sure looks proud.
