Introductions

Introducing the first duckling... Bootsie, with her Christmas kitten, Bobby (a.k.a. Pigpen).
Bootsie, age 11, loves animals, particularly horses and cats. She is homeschooled and in the fifth grade.

The next duckling is Sugar Baby. She has Type 1 diabetes, so I call her my Sugar Baby.

She is almost 10 years old and is in the 4th grade. Sugar Baby loves making things. She can crochet hats, scarves, and even mittens! Sugar Baby also likes taking care of Queenie, whom you will meet later.

Next, we have Monkey Man, shown doing what he loves best, what he lives for, what he dreams about at night... digging. In this picture, he had just dug down to water. See the gleam in his eye?

And if you can't find him digging somewhere, just look up. He can scale a tree faster than you can blink your eye. This 8 year old dude is all boy and extremely energetic. He also loves digging. Did I already mention that?

Next is Mr. Cerebral. (Mr. C for short.) Mr. C is almost 7 & is a sweetheart. He loves knowing things and understanding why and how things work. One of Mr. C's current favorite pastimes is challenging Daddy Duck & his sisters in a game of rummy.

The next guy almost needs an entire blog of his own. He is a man of many hats, or costumes. He is about to turn five. He is hilarious. He is dramatic. He is... Mr. Superhero. The picture below is Mr. Superhero on a typical day. I should add that he would tell you that he didn't like this picture because he's not wearing his guns.

And last, but certainly not least, we have Queenie. Queenie is 2 years old. That there should tell you everything. Queenie is, well, 2 and she's Queenie. 'Nuff said.
