Yay!

View our wedding site here.  It is pretty empty for now, but I’m sure it will fill in quickly.

Baby #3 was over with his brother in the corner when I got up. But he still
had his egg shell on his back. So I sprayed him with water and it loosened and
came off. He is a big one. I think he is fatter then #2. Cari wants to call
one Squirtle after a Pokemon creater. Mike doesn’t know yet. I just call them
1, 2 and 3. They have different neck markings so we can tell them apart. I
have seen 2 eating. I got them weeds from the pond and they like it. Plus I’m
giving them fish food flakes like the books say. We have our fingers crossed
for them to do good. They are lively. Here are the pictures of #3 and his
brothers. (I call them brothers because I think they will be the new Teenage
Mutant Turtles) Enjoy. Jeanna

When we got up this morning baby #2 was swimming in his pond. Baby #1 was still very quiet. He had been on his back in shell. We had turned him over last night. He seemed weak and still. So we dipped him egg and all in water. The second time when I put him on shore he came out. Now he is swimming and doing good. He is smaller then the other one. #3 is still just poking his beak out. He should be out by tomorrow.

My mom wrote me an email today about some baby turtles she is hatching:

Two weeks ago Dave dug up a turtle nest when working on the bank of the pond. He saved 4 eggs and gave them to Mike. We looked up how to take care of them. We found out we may have hurt them already with the move. But 3 had something in them when I candled them. So I fixed a tank with heat lights and misted them several times a day and talked to them. Sunday morning Cari saw one was hatching. By night 2 had opened up. It says it will take up to 3 days for them to turn over and come out of the shells. As of this morning one is winking at me and one just waves when I mist them. They will be about the size of a quarter. This is their first pictures. The are little red eared sliders. Not the giant anaconds I was afraid they would be. I’ll keep yopu updated. They say the first year is the hardest. BUt atleast they are hatching. Mike hasn’t named them yet.

I have about $5000 to spend on a car. I’ve fallen in love with Sebring Convertibles. Unfortunately, my dad doesn’t want me to get one. Any ideas on how to convince him to let me get it? I’m considering finding a dealer that will let me do an extended test drive so I can bring one home and let him see it.
