So, Greg made me feel guilty enough about not posting pictures in a long, long, long time, I'm finally going to get a few up from the last several months!  They are in backwards order... sorry! :)

Emma Kate, chillin with her peeps, 8 of the 9 chicks we hatched in our incubator last month

Gretta rolling in the grass, having a blast in Raleigh at the Love & Theft concert

The girls had so much fun at the concert, running in the grass and dancing!

Taking a little break... didn't last long!  As I recall, Gretta was already starting to get up by the time I had the camera out! 

Gretta and one of her favorite silkie chicks, Tigger

Gretta and the "little gray silk" ...who met with an untimely end... very sad!!!  The girls still talk about that little gray "silk" often... 

Emma Kate's strategy- as she catches her favorites, she puts them in a kennel so they're easier to get her hands on them next time... :)

Emma Kate and one of the incubator chicks

...and yet another incubator chick!  

The all-time favorite chick (not so much a chick any more!) "Puff" being treated to a ride on the slide

Bath time fun

Apparently they've worked out a new means of communication here

And again with the "little gray silk" :'(

We got to go to the kite festival for Mommy's birthday, it was cold but there was GREAT wind for flying kites!

Tuckered out from the fun, catching a piggy-back ride from Mimi

The girls fell in love with this rainbow colored flag

Gretta being sassy for the camera... guess what we're doing... petting chicks!  (Or as Gretta says, "peppin' chicks")

One of the girls' favorite things to do- reading books.  Found them sitting in the entrance to the bathroom doing it, of all places?!?!

The girls had a blast going for a hike in the woods across the street from us

Even though it's freezing cold, we just can't get by without playing in the water...

More water!  I think Emma Kate is saying "what did you expect?!?!"

Surely there's room for 2 in the princess chair!! ;)  Love when they get along so well like this instead of fighting over who gets to sit in it! :)
