fine feathered friends

we would like to introduce our newest friends, courtesy of momma robin, who has chosen our home as her own for the past three years. each year, she carefully constructs a beautiful nest in one of the trees in our landscaping. this year, she chose the holly tree right outside our front door, so i have truly enjoyed trying to capture the perfect pics when she isn't looking! as you will see, momma robin is camera shy...and scared of my big dog, who has a hankering for busy birds. to date, the pics show the perfect blue eggs, the teeny, tiny, fuzzy birds, and yesterday, i caught feeding time! the babies make this very funny noise when they know momma robin is close by...oh so cute! the kids have all thoroughly enjoyed this "at home" nature lesson.

coleman as "mr. twee"

we spent a wonderful evening at martin elementary, enjoying drama and desserts...as presented by the second graders. coleman played the part of "mr. twee," in "the emperor's new hair" presentation, and did a fabulous job as one of the emperor's trusty advisors! he was very easy to understand and made the audience laugh with a few lines and during the concluding bow, when his hat fell off! mema, papa, uncle t, aunt juju & evie joined our family for the fun evening of great memories in the making! we are so proud of you...our sweet, cute, and silly coco!
