They look good Liz, I am sure they will look even better once they have settled in. Looking forward to hearing about their personality and that strawberry song!

Speaking of that Strawberry song... he's been singing it almost everyday and I've thought "okay, that's nice". But last night he surprised me by doubling the length! WOW, now that's NICE!

My boy, is the first in the morning to start of the day with his singing (while it's still dark).

Regretably, his song is not the greatest, and tends to be repetitive in nature, but Mrs Strawberry absolutely loves it

.

By the way, how is your boy colouring up, do you have a picture of him?

Here's my little guy...
