I'm sad to say that my 'August Moon' has not grown a single new leaf on it this summer. I've had it in the ...

That last pic is priceless! They look great. I tend to favor all white animals....I think it is the Japanese that believe they are lucky (?). Anyhoo...I like the all white.

Your girls look beatutiful, happy, and healthy! Congrats on adding them to your family!
