Bye Bye Birds

A few days ago our three robin babies left their nest after spending several weeks growing at an amazing pace in front of our eyes. Although our visitors won't be dive bombed at our front door by a protective parent, I have really missed looking out the window to see them. No offense momma finch who is still raising her babies, but you just are not as exciting to watch as the robins. We still are in awe of the finch raising 5 birds in such a tiny space. I guess it is like our neighbors who are doing the same thing with their 5 kids in a house the size of ours. Anything is possible.

I also began to think about the similarities between the birds and raising Eliza for the first 2 years:

Pregnancy...


Pink, bald and squirmy...

Unique hairdos and eating all the time...

Vocal...

Learning to be out on our own but with friends near by...
