Update on Vote for Leah Giveaway:
First, a big thank-you to everyone who has been taking a minute out of their crazy day to vote for Leah in Gerber's Baby Contest!!!

Second, because so many of my readers are voting without letting me know by multiple comments here, I am modifying the giveaway terms to include everyone who votes. Period. If you've commented that you've voted, then you will be entered into a random drawing in early October to win the prize package as detailed in this post.

Many thanks to those who are voting. As I've said before, I know I'm biased being her gramma and all, but honestly, even if I weren't her gramma, well, I just really think she is cute! LOL

How could this little beauty NOT win the Gerber Baby Contest?

Well, if she doesn't get enough votes, that's how.

So, please, please, PRETTY PLEASE, could you take a minute and click on the Gerber link to vote for Leah? You can do it every single day in September if you like (which would be MAH-VA-LUSH!!) but if you at least do it once for me, I'll be a happy gramma!

It's really easy. Just click the link and vote, then click the confirmation email you'll get. If you don't click the confirmation email, your vote won't count.

I rarely beg... but I'm begging ya'll.

*sigh* I know....it's rather pathetic to see an old lady beg, huh?

Just look at this pink bundle of cuteness!!

She's almost 3 months old already.

That's Leah's mommy (my daughter-in-law) the day Leah was born.

Ok, it's not just me... Leah's mommy is begging
you to vote for Leah too.

Now I'm going to be even more pathetic... for every vote you cast, come back here and leave a comment letting me know you voted for Leah. I'll send whoever votes the most a CARE package of yummy homemade treats, including:

a jar of Christmas Red Pickles
a jar of Strawberry Jam
half dozen Cookie of Paradise cookies
a bag of Trixie Lou's Cheesers dog treats
and a $20 Target gift card!

Votes will be tallied at the end of September. The reader who votes the most will receive the CARE package in early October.

I can't believe I'm resorting to bribery. :-)

To all of my readers who take the precious time to vote...

A HUGE THANK YOU!!!!!!

{no, I haven't named them yet}

Last Thursday, we bought the last 5 lavender guinea keets at Orscheln's and planned to return Saturday morning to pick them up. Sadly, one of the lavenders drowned in the water bowl before our return, so we took one of the pearl gray keets (the brown one). Here's a link to a chart of guinea colors - both the babies and how they look as adults.

The keets hatched early last Monday morning, so they are 6 days old today. After we picked them up yesterday, hubby spent the afternoon building a large brooder for them.

Many thanks, hugs and kisses to my sweet hubby for buying the keets for me, and spending his time (when he's so busy with a million other things, such as our garage) to build their lovely home.

Finally, my first birds!!! :-)
