You may recall that I have a day job as the editor of the
Woodpile’s newspaper. (Being a blogging superstar is unfortunately not
financially rewarding). One of the regular and more mundane tasks of the job is
to print the birth announcements. Once in awhile this can actually be exciting.
Two different royal family couples made announcements recently. Yes, we do have
a royal family at Woodpile
Kingdom: Swans. The royal
couple in the pond on the south side of the Woodpile just announced the arrival
of eight little ones. (My wife fainted with the very thought of eight babies!)
They have been avoiding the press and we only got one photo to share. The royal
couple in the pond on the north side of the Woodpile just loves the cameras. They
only have four.
The two royal couples are in separate ponds because they are
constantly feuding with each other. It keeps our gossip column writer very busy
and sells a lot of newspapers.
Our only photo of the south pond royal family
The north pond family (from the last week of May)
Aren’t they adorable?
Time for a “swan boat” ride (look for the head between the wings)
These photos are from two weeks later. Boy, do they
grow fast.
Here they are training for proper swan posture.
