Baby Birds

We were lucky enough to have a Cardinal nest in the tree right in the front yard. I have a feeder hanging in that tree, so I'm guessing thats why they had the nest so low.
The eggs the day we noticed them.
The babies, day one!

The following days after that.

First Grade

Yeah the title pretty much sums it up! It's official we have a first grader! Last night we went to her open house and met with her teacher. Ms. Ewing is her teacher and she has a couple friends in her class from kindergarten...she was a little nervous that she wouldn't know anyone.
The first day of school pictures everyone takes!
Hailey had to get in on the action too.
She was so excited, she was up two hours before we had to go!

Hopefully I can find the time in my days to get on here and keep up with this. Maybe tomorrow I will get the pictures up of the baby birds that we watched for about a week and a half!
