Chinchillas

Meet the newest members of our family- "Jesse" and "Cassi" (short for Jessica and Cassidy.)  Chinchilla sisters.
The kids begged and begged and we obliged.  They are about 8 months old (I think) and were given to us by a friend from church.
They are pretty fast, but once you can catch them they are quite snuggly.
They remind me of a cross between a mouse, a kangaroo, and a squirrel.
They are in a temporary cage for now, but Forrest is going to build them their permanent home.  They like to jump and prefer a cage with many levels.
The kids have taken to them instantly.  Here's Kaitlyn wearing hers in a sling; just like Mommy used to do with her!  Aaahhh I love seeing the fruits of attachment parenting. =)
This one actually fell asleep in her arms.  Guess it felt safe.
They even go shopping.  I have a feeling these girls are going to have to learn how to "endure" lots of love!
