born February 25, 2004
They all started with this little girl shortly after 9 pm:

The second little girl was a little smaller, and lighter in
colour:
Are we done yet?

Ahhh, a little messy, but done around midnight:

And two day's later when these little one's cousins were born:

And March 2, 2004:

They're still hungry:

On March 14, 2004, they were woken up:


Gave each other morning kisses:

And continued to learn how to walk, albeit not always successfully:

March 18 was first supper
They first need coaxing:

until they got the hang of it

As usual, Mom cleaned up their mess,

and then they settled down back to sleep....

At a little over 4 weeks old, on March 26, 2004,
They want out

to play

Still loving mom's nourishment (altho' Zhucca doesn't look too
happy, she visits with her own free will...)

And sleep it off....

April 15, 2004 they got to look at the world with their half
cousins/half nieces & nephews:


Then they went to their own homes at 8 - 10 weeks of age:
Bowser
Dakota
Mady
Dakota
Keely
