Interest and Enjoyment

Here's a little bit of an aside...

This past weekend we celebrated my son's 20th birthday. My daughter has been living out at a camp taking a discipleship program but she found her way home to surprise her brother for his birthday. It is a wonderful thing to watch our kids begin to take a real interest in each other. Their enjoyment becomes ours.

Uhh...Mom...

This momma was so intent on her direction she did not notice her wee ones could not scale the curb. Off she went, not looking back. We stopped and tried to help these adorable little fluffs up and over the curb. One was easily scooped up but the other two found cover under our jeep. A couple of other motorists helped us out and after laying on our bellies reaching for the ducklings, we eventually managed to work together and catch them. But where was mom? Nowhere in sight! We looked through the nearby grasses and bushes and found her with duckling number one. They were reunited, a happy little family!
