Yesterday, it was hot out and I needed to do something with the kids. So I pulled out our little pool and let them have fun. I thought the water was cold, but kids don't seem to know "cold." I also made snowcones- which they really loved!
You can't tell too well here, but Will is all muddy. Only my kid would have a clean pool to play in, and yet, still find a way to get muddy.
While they played, Tyler snoozed in my lap.
I even caught him laughing in his sleep! Something he actually does a lot.
While out there, I checked on our nest. We were curious if the birds had hatched yet. Nope!
Today Lee stayed home, which was SO nice! And truthfully, he cleaned the house while I took a nap! He even mopped and vacuumed! What a guy I have!
He took the kids outside to play in the pool and he and Amy noticed a broken egg shell on the porch. So I checked on our nest. This time, there were baby birds!!!
The nest is high and deep, so its hard to see in it. I have to hold the camera way up and point it down to even see what's in it. So we think there are at least 2 birds, but hopefully all 3 hatched ok! I'll check again in a day or two and hopefully we can see them better.
Lee and the kids were outside for a long time, so since we knew there were babies, I suggested we go back inside so the mother could come back and feed them. (she won't come when we are out there). Sure enough. we walked in the house, and 2 seconds later, she was back, tending to her little ones.
Yesterday we got 2 wonderful gifts in the mail! The Anderson's, our friends from Carrollton, sent the kids all something and Tyler some adorable onesies. And Aunt Lynn/Uncle Steve sent some stickers books, toys and Uncle Steve even made a blanket for Tyler! We love it! To both- Thank you SOOO much!! Today I had to take some pictures of Tyler and his new blanket.
We've been so lucky with meals this week. A friend of mine took it upon herself to arrange meals for the entire week... and half of last week! Even our neighbor brought over a meal today. People are just so kind!!
How nice, I remember when our robins hatched. As they were in the garage, I felt we had to leave the doors open till they left. And you're right, they won't come if people are around. But it won't take long, seems they are hardly hatched and then gone. Each day they grow faster than you can imagine. Glad you got your package and I did get your email. Love all the pictures of Tyler he is beautiful. Love always.
ReplyDeletePS I know why Tyler smiles so while sleeping. He's so happy with the family chosen for him. Love always.
ReplyDeleteI hope Tyler keeps on smiling all his life--he is such a handsome baby. I just love all the pictures.Keep them coming if you can.
ReplyDeleteWhat nice friends you have. It sure is nice they are so helpful.
I had another shot in my eye this morning and now can wait 3-1/2 months for the next one. The doctor is trying to place them more and more apart and he is pleased with the progress. He takes pictures each time to make sure things are working right.
My knee is sore again today--I go to the Dr. in the morning to have him check it out.
Our weather is getting hot now so and it is so nice to go out without a coat. Keep the great pics and info coming we all enjoy it. Love to you all, Gram
My little birds. I bet it is so fun to watch them. Keep taking pictures everyday because they grow so fast. I would be watching them all the time. I would be like Amy wanting to hold them.
