Yard Work

We have been trying to work on our front yard for the past few weeks- It's so hard with Brian's schedule and Henry, but it's coming along!

We are so proud of how it is looking so I thought we would share the before and after pictures.

We still have a few more things to plant and finish off, but its looking much better already!

Our baby birds-

I know this sounds crazy, that we were so amazed by birds, but we think its such a great story (even though I'm sure it happens all over the world everyday :)

So this mom and dad bird sat on our ledge for a few weeks, staking out the right place for a nest. Then, the daddy slowly built the nest from sticks and mud on the side of our house. He would do it at night while the mom slept on the ledge. Then when it was finished, the mom laid her eggs and slept in the nest, while the daddy slept on the ledge guarding her. If we went outside while they were there he would get mad and fly down at us and chirp. Now that there are babies, the daddy left and the mommy stays next to them every night.

(I wonder if he has to pay child support, or if he's considered a dead beat dad??)

Anyway, what a sweet story! How can you watch something like that and not believe in God? :)

There are 3 of them, but only one will let you take his picture :)
