Birds
Any one who knows me knows of my love of birds. As soon as we moved here, I was incredibly anxious to get some bird feeders up. I hung up two, and within a day I had to buy two more to meet the demand. I have started a rather lengthy list of bird species that I have seen at my feeders and in the woods. Here is just a small sampling of some birds TJ saw while sitting on the deck for 10 minutes.
Gold Finch:
House Finch (we have tons of these, and will have plenty more since the second brood of babies has now hatched on the front porch!)
Downy woodpecker--also have seen a yellow bellied sapsucker and a red bellied woodpecker.
And of course my little friend who buzzed up to my PJ pants one morning...

One Last Gift for Bronwen
I guess the party guests and I weren't the only ones who had gifts for Bronwen, for at the end of the day, after her party and her nap, this is what we saw:

Easter In Baton Rouge Part 1
We had a fantastic visit over Easter--the whole family loaded onto an airplane and arrived in New Orleans about 2 hours later. The girls were awesome, and Adam charmed all around him.
We arrived on a Friday, and that night we headed over to Aunt Becky and Uncle Meaux's house for dinner: crawfish etouffe.
The girls got to visit with their cousins:
While Adam just hung out.
The next morning Bee Bee helped the girls find their sunny dispositions:
while they worked on dying Easter eggs. Bee Bee was indeed there, but refused to have her image captured. Evidence of Bee Bee's hand can be found below:
After all the hard decorating work, the girls enjoyed splashing around in the new fountain in the backyard.
The rest of the day was spent relaxing and trying to get into a routine. T.J. was super excited to have the Johnny Jump-up there.

Umm...What?
We're watching Diego, and he just asked, "Does a humpback whale live in the ocean or in the city?" and Bronwen said, "The ocean!" Then she added, "For sure." (kind of in a "duh" tone.")

Happy Birthday Bronwen!
Four years pass by in but a blink of an eye...Happy birthday to my sweet Bronwen, inquisitive and determined, sweet and kind, who can always make me laugh with a cuddle and a giggle. I love you, and I will be forever grateful to you for making me not just any mom, but your mom.
