 I have sad news to report: Our little hummingbird babies didn't make it. We'd been documenting their growth by taking pictures nearly everyday. This picture was taken about 2 weeks ago, the day before they were hummingbirds no longer. We don't have the heart to tell the children. I don't know what happened. Chris wonders if the Mama bird left because she was feeling threatened because we were always out there taking pictures (thanks, Chris.) We don't know if they were attacked by another bird or animal or if something happened to their Mother. We hadn't seen her around and then yesterday when I was coming home, I'm pretty sure I saw her flying away from the nest. We are legitimately sad. Whenever the children want to look,we just tell them to not get too close. Henry was going to give a little presentation to his kindergarten class about hummingbirds and show the pictures. I think we'll still have him do that. We were all pulling for those little eggs. The nest is still there along with the birds. I don't know what to do with it. Let nature just take it's course I guess. We all need some cheering up, right? How about this:  My Mother's Day flowers which have been blooming a little everyday. Mothers Day was good, filled with extra sleep, flowers, homemade cards and my favorite perfume. I am in major birthday party planning mode right now with a lot of things that still need to be made. I've got to figure out how to make one of those cakes for Kate that has the doll standing in the middle (you know, like a big princess dress?) Oy. Henry's invites are out and I'm not even going to think about his birthday until next week! Hoping to have some fun things to share here soon! XO
