What's Shakin'?

Hi all! Happy Wednesday!

I'm in the midst of laundry and packing. My kiddos are heading up north with their grandparents for a few days so I'm scrambling to get Nick all packed and Haley with clean clothes so she can pack her bag. We'll be kid free for a few days, wonder what that feels like??! :P

Oh, guess what I woke to this morning?

A very chirpy robin fledgling!

He/she spent the night in my kitchen in a bird carrier that I had still from my sweet little budgie, Clara.

See, yesterday hubby & I rescued this baby twice, not once- twice right out of the mouth of one of out new neighbors cats. Nice eh? I won't go into how I went berserk-o yelling about how they let their cats roam 24/7. Honestly, I don't care if you never let your cats in your house but when they are in my backyard killing baby birds. Me=not happy.

'Tis a happy ending though, my friends.

This morning as I raced to get baby birdie outside so the momma could hear him chirping and come back to him, there she was right outside my back door on the fence. I was almost in disbelief that she was in the yard. Did she stay all night for him, I wonder. I'm so glad that I didn't have to take him to a bird rehabilitator.

And, being the complete sap I am, my heart smiled a thousand times over as I watched her swoop down and feed him/her in the soft rain.

I've said it before.

The smallest things can make this girl happy. =)



--I want to thank everyone for all the prayers for my Dad. We don't know too much at this point- just that they are 90% sure it's cancer. The Dr.'s aren't saying too much until we get the results back (tomorrow). {Why don't they ever rush those tests back, btw?!} So until then I'm just praying.

Big cyber hugs to all my blog friends for their kind words of support and prayers!
