the baby birds

Thursday, May 08, 2008

A week ago Josh happened to spot a bird's nest in our little evergreen tree out front. I couldn't believe our luck that there were four robin's eggs in it. When I went out to check on them on Tuesday there were only two eggs because two had hatched! They were curled up together but when I made a little noise they popped their heads up looking for food. It was truly amazing. By yesterday morning another had hatched and by supper time, all were born. I have never been that close to a bird's nest or baby birds before in my life. I easily could have touched them! There's something about seeing new life that just really got me.

Someone was telling me about when they were looking for a new house. They had looked at dozens of houses but finally were looking at one they thought they might like. This lady happened to look out the window when checking out a bedroom and there was a robin's nest with eggs. She felt like it was a sign to buy the house.

Maybe these little guys are my sign that we bought the right house (not that I'm doubting) and that everything is going to be okay.
