The Birds and the Bees :)

Love Birds

These birds have decided that our deck is the perfect place for their baby-making.  On the third day I decided to snap some pics.  

They peck at each other for a while

Then the magic happens taking all of 2 seconds.  

Done and then they groom themselves for about 5 minutes and fly off.  

Haircut Day!- April 22nd 2013

These were the before pics which they cooperated for.  

The after pic not so much.  They wouldn't stand still so I couldn't get them in focus.  

Baltimore Harbor- April 20th 2013

My friend Jen and I went to Baltimore to see Kathy Griffin and stayed overnight.  This is the next morning when we ate lunch on the harbor

Drew's Field Trip to Great Country Farms- April 19th 2013

Drew got to go on his field trip to Great Country Farms.  He's been twice in the past for Jack and now gets to do it all on his own! 

Learning about Strawberries.  Don't think he actually learned anything though since he was more concerned with making Saman laugh.  

Planting a sunflower seed.  

He got an extra one so Jack could have one too

Drew and his teacher Mrs. Hinnant

Feeding the goats.  This kid LOVES animals.  

The kid in the yellow is his friend Cullen from class.  

Jack is a great little soccer player

Soccer started in April.  I helped coach Jack's first game since Coach Colin was out.  This is Jack's second game of the season.  

Coach Steve talking to the kids before the game

Jack has turned into quite the aggressive little soccer star

He scored this one.  He's always so determined to get that ball

And he's fast so he usually gets there first
