The Bluebirds Have Taken Over Part 2

Don't worry, these are not the birds. These are the steak kabobs we were cooking on our NEW GRILL with our friends Ryan and Debbie when this picture was taken:

We have baby birds!!!! Since there were four of us on the patio I guess the bluebirds didn't think they could take us so they flew far, far away. I relived my horrific story about almost being attacked and Ryan was all, "I'm going to look in the bird house," and I'm all, "NO DON'T!! THEY WILL KILL YOU AFTER THEY PECK YOUR EYES OUT!" Since Ryan clearly didn't remember Hitchcock's "The Birds" he opened the house and we saw at least three babies sleeping soundly. So soundly, in fact, I thought they were dead but we watched closely to see that they were all breathing. We took a picture, closed the house and ran like heck!

I would like to stop the story to throw this out: when I did my research on bluebirds last week I read that it is ok to check on the babies in the house when the parents are gone because bluebirds have a horrible sense of smell and cannot tell if the house has been messed with.

Back to the story: after we went inside the mom and dad checked on the babies and then began to find more food. I'm convinced they get no sleep. I guess it's a lot like humans when they have a new baby.

Beau and I have been talking about the whole process/miracle taking place in our backyard. We're amazed at how in a matter of months the bluebirds built their home, laid eggs, hatched them and are taking care of them. And how in a matter of days they will teach their babies how to fly and the process will start all over again.

What a great reminder of how amazing our God is.
