Happy Easter chicks!

So ... Happy Easter all! 
Theo is feeling much better so we can all celebrate.
... here are our Happy Easter baby chicks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Right on time actually! -- 21 days of patiently waiting!
Four were actually born yesterday/Saturday ... but we wanted to save this for today/Easter!!
How cute are they????!!!!
Kaia was 'over the moon' with excitement ... and PJ was a close second!
They all seem to be doing very well -- there is still one egg that has not hatched (even by the 2nd day) so that one might have to go ... but we are all proud and happy to have these new chickies join our family.

Here they are with their mommy Day 2. 

Here is a shot today of Kaia and Theo checking them out (for like the 100th time!) on the side of the coop.

and after our full day in the garden yesterday - we were treated to an awesome dinner of fresh pan cooked bread with many veggies from our garden (especially some amaranth, beet and radish leaves, radish, green onion and chives ... with fresh onions, garlic, etc.)
And here are our first 5 asparagus ever!!!  MMMMMmmmmmmmmmmmmmm ..........
