Bye Bye Birdie(s)

A couple of months ago we noticed that a robin was building her nest in a tree right out by the deck. We kept watching it and one day there were two robin eggs, then eventually four. It was every morning's highlight for a while. Then came the little baby birds that were so cute! They would chirp every morning and stick their little heads out of the nest, Noah and Savannah loved it! Sadly, one day we went out and found one little birdie out on the lawn dead. We soon realized it was probably the neighbor cat that had killed it, since she'd been seen roaming around the nest. Shortly after, the rest of the little babies were gone, and again, probably eaten by Gracie the cat. :( So Noah and Savannah buried the little birdie in the garden and had a little service. Guess it wasn't the most convenient place for the mother robin to build her nest, but fun for us while it lasted!

Independence Day

I am so excited for the 4th! It has always been my favorite holiday, especially the fireworks and remembering the freedoms we enjoy every day. With the two little youngsters, it is even better (along with every other holiday)! Last year we had a blast being in and watching parades, eating cotton candy, riding ponies, getting faces painted, seeing fireworks, etc. We can't wait to bask in the fun again this year!
