Sorry I didn't answer, I was on the phone when you called, and then I was with my aunt, and my battery was dying/dead the rest of the night, and when I got back home, it was 9:30, and I know that's WAY past your bedtime. ;) I'll try to call you tomorrow on lunch. Love ya!

    As excited as I am about the baby birds, I really wish it was triplets, in your personal nest. :)

Wings

Lydia has been wearing purple fairy wings around her bedroom hoping it will make the mommy bird like her better.

Birds

This weekend a mommy and daddy bird moved into our palm tree right outside Lydia's window. Today we saw a little egg in the nest. The nest is about eye level for the kids and only 4 feet from the window. We are all very excited.

Today I overheard Lydia talking to the mommy bird through her open window saying she was a friend and she liked her babies.

We found this website to help identify birds. What Bird Check it out. I used the "search" page to help identify our little lovebirds.

    Lydia sounds so sweet!! We have been enjoying watching a female and male Barn Owl raise their owlets in an owl box in California. There is a camera where you can watch them 24 hours a day online. It is very neat. The website is: http://www.sportsmansparadiseonline.com/Live_Owl_Nest_Box_Cam.html if you are interested. Hope you all are doing well and congratulations on your upcoming new addition!!

    Aw! My Charlotte saw some birds in our yard today and asked if she could pet them. I told her she could if she caught one. :)

    Seriously, I have no idea how crazy my schedule will be this summer, but I'd be happy to help you out during the week if you need anything. I know you have your mom nearby, but I'm sure you have your hands full at times anyway.
