Love the frog, Herz! Is it a bullfrog, or different type? I could not tell, but looked like it has a stripe along it's side, which is cool! You have tons of babies that are coming for food! Neat!
Your daughter playing with older kids, is great! That way she will learn some of the new things from the older kids and be ahead in her grades. Hopefully they won't teach her tooooooo much, though. :)

Hello everyone! Still pounding, just been busy. Gonna try to get more active on the forum again. Pond is doing good & I already have expansion plans, but not sure how soon, realistically. Both girls are keeping me busy. Here's some pics of the new one, sorry for the delay!

And here's some winter pond pics. Been having a pet rabbit or two living in the yard. Was fine till they started eating my shrubs, my oldest loves feeding them carrots, but next year, gonna have to patch gaps in the fence with wire to stop them from getting into the back yard.

And here's the winter feeding station I set up on the patio. Left a spot in the middle for a heated bird bath, but never got around to getting one yet.

Your kids are both cute and we just had a new grand daughter a week ago. Love your snow and wish we had some but I'll take some sun in its place. Won't get much tho, just rain,yuck!

Thanks everyone! My oldest started 4 year old kindergarten this year, so your absolutely right about the time flying by. My youngest is 6 months but really tall, she's in the 100 percentile for height.

Sissy, how fast they grow has hit home more this time around.

JW, we really haven't had a ton of snow this year, but enough to enjoy. Really gotten more this past few weeks, before that it was on the ground since about Christmas & just cold enough to never melt. Congratulations on your new granddaughter!

Here's the rabbit feeding

In these next two, you can see both rabbits

Looks like you are very busy these days making happy memories with those adorable girls. Soon Daddy's girls will be busy with you by the pond, then you will be really busy! When my older sister came to stay with me one summer, she had two small children, and so I fenced the area to the pond off with a three foot fence. Later the fence came in handy when the puppies were puppies, eight years ago, now the sisters children are all grown up now, oldest just turned 21. So you are right, time flies so quick that before you know it, the fence will be old and weathered, stain fading and worn, and time to take down.....
