baby birds

we'd been watching a little nest in the bush just outside our front door for about a week when suddenly on malachi's birthday, we saw something new! (i wish i'd thought to take a picture of the eggs before they hatched) here they're all asleep, but the first time we saw them after they'd hatched, they were all awake and crying for food, it was cute, but i rushed the kids inside rather than take a pic because i knew the parents avoid the bush when we're outside (gee, a trio of crazy kiddos under 5, i'd avoid them too... if i were a bird!). they're really cute though! and we check on them probably 3 times a day now :)


it's hard to get a good picture cause i'm so short...

Oh how cute! That's awesome you got a picture them! We have been watching a robin family in a tree that hangs into our yard, but it's too high to get a good picture. We do sit out here and watch the mom fly in to feed the birds, and can see their little heads pop up with their mouths wide open. We love watching them! Spring time is great, isn't it?

They look just like our baby birds! So fun!
