Outside Our window

We have window boxes outside our upstairs windows and this week we found some baby birds!

Here is their beautiful mother. I had to take this through the closed window so you really can't see just how pretty she is. Her coloring is amazing!

When the mother gets food we can open the window. Or, if you're John David, you can just open the window and pretty much knock the mother bird out.

It's been so neat to have them right out our window, BUT I'll think twice about telling the kids next time. This window is behind our headboard so every chance they get they are climbing up on our bed and messing it all up just to see the birds. And there is now a little yellow bird toy that Julia has put in our windowsill to keep them company. The mother has looked a little stressed out by it all. Poor bird....
