Swingsets, Birds Nests and TV Stars

Look what Aaron has been building for the last 5 weeks. We are so excited to play in our own backyard. We worried that once we had the swingset put together that they would lose interest but every morning, before breakfast, the girls run out and swing in their pajamas. Then they swing with their friends most of the afternoon.
Poor Wyatt just sits and watches them through the window. We are getting him a little rocket swing tomorrow. I'm sure pictures will be taken. He loves to swing!!!

I love the neighborhood we live in. We have a lot of woods and wildlife right in our own backyard. There are birds, squirrels, raccoons, rabbits, deer, frogs, lizards, hawks, turtles, etc. The birds will build their nests in the craziest places. One bird built her nest in an old easter basket in our messy garage. One day while coming and going through the garage we had to watch out for the baby birds learning to fly. Another bird has built her nest in our flower arrangement on the front door. She had one egg laid, when, unfortunately one of our sweet little girls was angry about something and ran out the door and slammed it shut. Well, the flowers fell and the egg fell out and broke. I felt so bad for the mama bird. I rehung the flower arrangement a little more firmly and the next day there were two more eggs and then 2 more. We were so excited to watch for the new babies. I thought we were going to have a happy ending to our bird story but unfortunately something has happened to mama and the baby eggs have been abandoned. Sorry.


Did you see the girls on TV? They went to the Wachovia Championship Golf tournament with Aaron and Papa and the camera found them. We had several people call when they saw them on tv and ask if they were there. That's how we found out. Check it out. They were superstars for about 3 seconds.
