Pippen (aka, Pip)

Well, yesterday we drove up to West Point, Utah and picked up little Pippen!! She is a fantastic little birdie so far and everyone is enjoying her. Especially me and Samantha. Samantha has already turned into a little bird lady, carrying Pip around on her finger, petting her, kissing her and just chatting with her. Alex is a bit more hesitant and frightened around her. He has pet her and just recently kissed her back, so we're making progress.
My nephew Cameron joined us on our trip to get her because he wants a birdie himself. But his mom is just WAY too mean to let that happen ;-). I thought the kids would enjoy seeing all the birds the breeder had but as soon as I walked in the house I knew I didn't want any kids to step foot in there! Let's just say it wasn't the best environment for my kids and my nephew!! Pip is adjusting very well though and seems very happy. I can tell Samantha is very happy because she just said to me, "Mama, having a bird is so much fun!". Andy has been sweet with her but says he is mostly happy that I am happy. He's a good hubby!
Here are some pictures of the new Higham!

Okay that is so fun,. I had a parakeet once. His name was buddy and he used to sit on my shoulder and tickle my neck. I won't tell you what happend to him it is to sad to say. But they are great pets...

Love him..or her...did you say? Anyway, such a cutie. Are the kids doing well with Pip? I showed Ali the pictures...possible mistake since my husband is completely against pets of any sort!

Are the kids still loving Pip? How fun. Enjoy the new addition. While it is still another mouth to feed, at least you get more sleep with this one! He's such a cute little bird!
