This sweet momma duck had her new ducklings on the lake Friday night and I couldn't help thinking of my new families sending their little ducklings to me in not much more than a week. I watched her as these little ones darted around in the water. These little guys would spread out fearlessly over the waves away from momma duck and then when she called to them they scurried back to check in. I saw a paddle boater and his dog come off the shore and without much of a quack at all, that momma duck had all of these babies tightly around her and they swam safely almost as one, away from danger. I know you have to trust me a lot to share your little ducklings with me and know that like this little duck, we will swim safely together next week and every day at school. Welcome to my little lake! Stephanie Wallace
