kitchen-side community

Fall out Boy!

Am I more than you bargained for yet??

Sleep Warm

Sleep warm, sleep well, my love

Sleep warm, sleep well

Let dreams within you dwell

I'm a new day rising

I'm a brand new sky

It's *thymes* like these you learn to live again..

Gumbo trying to give sweet "milk talk" (his version of pillow talk), unbeknownst to him, he's just another one of the boys!

Always buzzing like...

NEON!!
The Krewe kids see their name in lights
(except poor Iko...but he has a SONG)
thanks Amanda for the photos!

He Ain't Heavy

He's my brother & my other brother & my other brother & my other brother.

My Brotha'!!

The heavyweights share a little 'brotherly love'.

Do you want a piece of me??

Cajun checking if Po'Boy really *does* taste like they say on Food TV!

The bird bird bird

The bird is the WORD!

A birddog in the making, Gumbo tries to conquer the larger than life quail!!

Chickity China

Since most of our city has lost power and the Krewe experienced their first "power outage" enjoying nursing by candlelight, we decided to celebrate the wonder of restored electricity by having Gramma and Great-Gramma (my mom's mom and Gramma) over for a cookout..just the girls...cause Great-Grammy's power still isn't on.

..and Bela. Low key. Mom made my favorites, Chinese Chicken (garlic/ginger/teriyaki..mmmm), grilled taters and salad. We even had an organic apple pie for dessert..YUMMY!! I got to sample, maybe the Krewe will get garlic breath now!

Here's me and Bela at one of our finer arts...beggin' from Gramma...SUCKER!

We are Family...

"I got half-sista Windy with me!!"

Windy has taken on the responsibility of "entertaining" the Krewe. She has learned to nuzzle and the boys seek her out whenever she is in the whelping box, which is just as often as Thyme, often bringing 'gifts' of her favorite toys to them.

They don't quite understand her butt in the air play enticement.

They are still determined she can nurse them.

I'm sure if she could...she would.

She is a wonderful 1/2 sista and they will be surely schooled by two of the finest 1/2 sisters on how to treat a girl, when Poo returns home!

Don't it make my brown eyes...BLUE!!

Beginning to take their first blurry glimpse of the world!!

Iko, or Eye-ko!

Gumbo, diggin' this seein' stuff!

Po'Boy, shoutin' out to the world!

Reporting from the box...

In case you forgot, this is Thyme and this is MY blog!

While I admit, I'm quite proud of my Krewe-boys, I think I'm raising a group of boob boys for sure. I kinda like the arrangement though, mom feeds me, and I feed the Krewe. I guess you heard I had surgery?!?! Seems there was a rescue effort in force since Gumbo decided he just wasn't ready to come out and tried to go joing his brothers, Iko & Cajun.

But I'm better. Mom had to keep me from jumping and help me take it easy on the stairs, but it's all good..I get a warm rub down each night as mom cares for my boo-boo.

So here's some stats on the Krewe!

Today they are 11 days old:

Po'Boy: 10 ounces at birth, 1# 10 ounces at 11 days!
Beignet: 12 ounces at birth, 1# 13 ounces at 11 days!

The Heavyweights (or the 'Section' Krewe)

Gumbo: 16 ounces at birth, 2# 1 ounce at 11 days!
Iko: 12 ounces at birth, 2# 1 ounce at 11 days!
Cajun: 14 ounces at birth, 2# 5 ounces at 11 days!

Eatin' gooooood....in this neighborhood!!!

I'm Thyme...and this is MY BLOG!!

Introducing Po'Boy!!!

Thyme & Remy's first born, Po'Boy perfects the 'wet look'.

Thank heaven for little BOYS!!!!

Remy and I welcome FIVE feisty boys into the world today! Mom said I was a champ at bringing Po'Boy and Beignet into the world, but my body just couldn't go on longer with the shenanigans the KREWE were playing. So I went to visit Dr. Y and Dr. W and all my pals at the PAC where they gave me something really fun but made me really sleepy, then they went in my belly and rescued the rest of the KREWE!

My belly hurts a lot, but mom is camping out in my room with my babies and giving me lots of love, and some of those cookies Miss Manda brought from the CT...*yummy* in my now baby empty tummy!

Sooooooo introducing...the KREWE-boys...

...Po'Boy, Beignet, Gumbo, Iko, & Cajun

Looks like Gustav blew a little NOLA up to KY!!!
