The New Addition to our Family!

Baby Kurt’s Twisted Neck and His Brace

We have a pet duck! He/she was born October 13th, this duck was born with a twisted neck (so twisted that its head was upside down). This caused the little duck to walk impaired, do circles, panic, have the family separate themselves from it, and even its mom was pecking at it as if she was going to kill it! Nicole pleaded and persuaded that we keep the duck in order to nurture it back to health! This little guy has given us joy as we watch it grow, be cute, and love upon it. God has also planned it perfectly that we could have this little guy right when we need something to help us as we are going through some various hard times. God has placed this cute little duck in our lives in order to help allow us not get down and discouraged too quickly, but to enjoy life and God’s creation amidst the hardness.

God allowed us to be there at the right time and day to get the duck, much later and there would be no blog about him because his siblings seemed to have disappeared. Also, the little duck is doing much better! After fabricating a makeshift neck brace and splint, its neck is almost back to normal. The little duck has also started swimming (2 weeks before he is suppose to!), and has doubled in weight! God can bring great joy in even the smallest of his creations. His glory will be declared in all things.

Also, as of Sunday (21st) the duck has been following us! It is so cute! Check out the pictures!
