Bird Watching

These first two where taken at our apartement

These next two were taken at our house.

I love our bird feeder. We got it back in February when we lived in an apartment. I was able to watch birds all day long. I loved it. Now that we have moved into our home I thought the birds wouldn’t come. Luckily I was wrong. Beautiful cardinals are coming and feeding on the seed we have set out.

I am enjoying this moment; kids are napping (never happens at the same time! Or at all.), I am relaxing on the couch, and I get to watch these beautiful birds. Wonderful birthday moment!

I have been watching these cardinals closely for a while and I have come to a conclusion that they are such a romantic bird. The red ones (male) are beautiful, but not arrogant. If you watch closely after they gather some seeds they fly back to the female (brownish/yellow) and give them their seeds. He actually feeds her. Oh, my heart melted when I noticed them taking care of their sweetheart! You can see in the picture the red one sharing with the brown. Right when the male starts flying towards her she starts to fluff her feathers rapidly until she is done eating. I even saw a few females up close to the feeder; even on the feeder, but they wouldn’t be eating the seeds. They would wait until the male broke it open and fed them. It is so much fun to watch birds. I have to thank the Coovers for getting us interested in bird watching. M and I have decided that when we are old and retired we will be traveling bird watchers! Who knows – maybe?

Comical Kids

Sucking on toes is alway a favorite past time.

It makes him so happy!

C fell asleep in her little chair. She has been skipping naps here and there so sometime she decides to fall asleep with out telling us. Talented sleeper. By the way this is her favorite play dress - thanks C.W.

Abby Grace

We were invited to a fun birthday party that had a clown and a monkey! C followed that monkey everywhere, wait we aren't supposed to call her a monkey - her name is Abby Grace. The clown was particular about caller her by her name. Abby would run around picking at everyones plate of food and C would feed her nuts - she loves nuts. It was so much fun! Lisa - you are probably jealous. Thank you so much C and E - it will be a wonderful memory forever.

Party with graduate friends

My good friends got together to roast mallows and have a good time. It had been a while since I have seen them so it was a fun reunion.

Playdo

If you don't know what these are then I am very offended! Just kidding. C and I play with playdo and I was pretty proud of these little creations so I took a picture. You can't tell how skilled of a work it is from the picture, but I assure you it is masterpiece worthy! Ok, so it is a sheep and a pig if you couldn't figure it out. C was sad after she smashed them. Nope, I don't think I could make those again!

Jaguar

This is back on February 16, 2007. C loves to stroll anything around. This day is was the jaguar that got the most attention and service. At our apartment she would run back and forth with the stroller making sure she was fast enough for the jaguar to enjoy the ride. She treats everything as if it was a baby. Hmm, I wonder if that is a reaction from having J? Either way, she has obvious maternal instincts. We love her. Oh, and Lisa; thanks for the jacket - it is so cute!
