New Addition(s) to our Family

On May 28, 2008, Amelia became the proud owner of her first pet hamster, Ruby Red Quijano. She is crazy about Ruby. She picked her out all by herself and has worked very hard to tame Ruby. She is a great hamster. We have to be very careful that Elliott does not squeeze her to death or pick her up and throw her while she is in her hamster ball. Other then that, so far so good.

Amelia also just finished raising 9 caterpillars into butterflies. She named them Kendall, Fairen, Leanne, Sara, Ashley, Ethan, Caleb, Isaiah and Henry after her Teddy Bear Class. She loves getting into her butterfly tent and letting them fly around her and land on her. She had to let 6 of them go this morning and she will let the last 3 go tonight. I think we are going to take a break from raising butterflies now that we have Ruby.
