Birds Nest!

I have meant to post this for a while, cause it was such a fun thing. Every Mother's Day Chris gets me flower baskets to hang on my porch. Not to many days after getting them some little Finch birds started to build a nest in one of them. Pretty soon we had 5 little blue eggs. Livi loved the whole process and soon our eggs became very famous on the street. I would have neighbor kids come over and ask to see them. Momma bird seemed to get used to all the fame and didn't seem to mind all the peaks. We ended up with four baby birds (not sure what happened to the fifth!) They started out so tiny and within a few weeks were almost full grown! Bird parents have it to easy! Anyways I had to be careful when I watered so I didn't make a bird bath out of their nest and one time I must have startled a baby cause it took off flying and never came back! The remaining 3 left after a few days. It was so fun to have bird noises outside my kitchen window. It was very fascinating to watch the whole process and see how even birds have a family unit. But the best was experiencing it with Liv. I miss our little birds!
