They've Hatched!

 It is time to give you an update on our Birds Nest! 

I am happy to announce that two baby birds started chirping gloriously on Father's Day! We were thrilled! Unfortunately, one egg fell off the ladder and burst, and one egg never hatched at all.

They grew so quickly, in (what felt like) the blink of an eye they were full grown birds. For about 3 weeks they inhabited our back porch ladder(s) and learned to eat, and fly and become a family. Then they stopped coming to the nest and have now moved on to bigger and better things.

We are official "Empty Nesters" and all of us feel slightly sad that they are no longer out there on our porch...we are however, so grateful for the time we had with them and the up-close experience of a nest to examine.

I am learning to be happy in the moment I am in, for when I look back, it will not have lasted nearly long enough.
