Three Little Birds....




WELL DAD THIS ONE IS FOR YOU.
(and any one else who cares).
As most of you know-One of my favorite singers is Bob Marley and my favorite song is Three Little Birds. Basically the birds are on his porch and tell him"Don't worry about a thing. Cause every little thing is gona be all right. At first we had 4 but ended up with three, so I thought this is a perfect song for this. However I have no clue how to add music on to these things. Any Hints?

This story can really only be told in three parts...
SO.......

PART 1
My parent's came down on June 6th and Bri stayed with us after they left. She was the first one to realize that, in the wreath on the front door there was a birds nest. Two beautiful Birds were working so hard and had the nest at least 92% done. Being the kind and loving people we are, we had to leave it there. We just couldn't part with the amusement of Brianne meeting her worst fear every time she opened the door. It was also fun watching her body move in any direction possible to avoid them. I hope you still love me Bri.

PART 2
When we left for Utah and Idaho 4 days later, Bri could not get away fast enough. After Idaho and Utah, we came home and started to unpack. Leks came booking down the stairs and I could hear a chair scraping. You guessed it she was checking on the nest and sure enough there were 4 perfect little birdy eggs in there. One week later, we were in the car again headed up to Lake Powell.

Part 3
We get home from the Lake and Leks runs to the door to check on the eggs. There weren't any eggs this time but.....4 pink naked baby birds. YEAH!!! -ugh- So over the next two weeks Leks becomes there gaurdian and will let no one use our front door. I do have to admit that it was amazing watching these naked Minature Gummy Bear sized birds turn into Birds with fluff after 3days. Over the next 2 days they became the size of a Cinnamon Bear with feathers. A couple of days later they tripled their size and became poo monsters. Finally, two weeks and one day after the first discovery of the pink naked birds-they learned to fly out of the nest. Ending the enjoyment of the baby birds. I just wish I had taken pictures of the eggs and ther birds as the progress ....who knew a camera or its flash would kill them????

Oh ya, I forgot, John got to buy a new powerwasher to clean off the 2wk supply of poop that was left. (After hrs. of scrubbing we decided it was the only way to get it off)! It worked, now we just need to restain the door. What we do for kids.
