Did you miss me?

After almost a 4 YEAR break--LOL-- I decided to give blogging another chance. SO much has happened since my last post, I won't even try to catch everyone up! The biggest change is that I am currently pregnant with our second child--and our first child is 7 years old now! LOL Since I am destined to be a stay-at-home mom, I have decided I need to get organized a little better, and have put together a binder to get myself sorted out. Pictures to follow soon! :)

Bored with my birds???

LOL

We have 4 robin's eggs and 4 cardinal eggs. This is most likely the final count! We are going to have 8 baby birds in our front bushes here soon! Can't wait!

Eggs!

We now have 4 eggs in our Cardinal nest--and she is sitting on it! We should have baby birds in less than 2 weeks!! I'll post pictures when they hatch! I am so excited!

Birds, birds, birds!

We have an abundance of birds!

I have seen SO many different kinds of birds since we have lived here. In short form, we have seen:

--nuthatches (which are neat because they can hang upside-down on tree branches!--one of the few birds that can do that)
--Cardinals (which have a nest with two eggs in it, outside my front window)
--Robins (which have a nest outside my bedroom window!)
--Ladderback woodpecker
--red-winged blackbird
--Red-tailed hawk (who is just plain HUGE!)
--Titmouse
--chickadee
--towhee
--starlings
--sparrows
--goldfinches
--Bobwhites

And I am sure many others that I haven't written down yet! LOL

I can't wait to see our little eggs hatch! The eggs are so small...I am excited! As soon as I figure out where DH has the pictures of them, I will post the pics of the parents...And the eggs... She laid one the day before yesterday, and another yesterday...I wonder if we will have one more today??? I can't wait to find out!

She had a goal...

My daughter had a goal. A very large goal. One that she will need at least a couple more days to meet. But, she got a good start today!!






Yes, those are mostly dandelions that she found in our backyard today! LOL Some came from the front--but mostly the back! She left ones that she didn't like...which was not very many! LOL

Spring is coming!!!

These came up a little over a week ago! Aren't they pretty?

Random things...

I hate doctor offices! Today, Lucy had ANOTHER GI dr. appt. at Cardinal Glennon. Her appt was at 2:30. Got there early--had to drive around the parking lot for more than 15 minutes to find a parking spot. Finally park and get inside. Go to the gift shop for a soda. Head over to the actual office. Sign in. Wait...wait...wait some more. Then, wait again! FINALLY get called back. They weigh her, measure her height...then realize they don't have a room open. We get sent back out to the waiting room again. About 15 minutes later, they call us back to a room. We sit there and wait! The nurse comes in.... "The doctor has been called out to an emergency surgery and it will be about 45 minutes...please listen for your name on the intercom and come back when you hear it. Here is a free gift voucher ($5.00) for the gift shop or the cafeteria." We head over and found Lucy a stuffed dog...and she falls in love with it...carries it around... Our name is called and we head back over...we go right into a room where the doctor is waiting on us! He basically tells us that we need to wait out this stupid constipation issue for another 6 months...we will check back in with him in 2 months... It's a waiting game. A stupid waiting game!

Get home from St. Louis, just in time for me to head to a CWF meeting at church (Christian Women's Fellowship)...where it is election night. I am now the president of the CWF at our church! Was not expecting that! LOL I have no idea what it entails...but will figure it out as I go along I guess! LOL

Really tired today...maybe I will head to bed early...most likely I won't...LOL Tomorrow I have a dr. appt. Perhaps mine will be better than today!
