We're Not the Only Nesters

A family of robins decided that one of our gutters was THE spot to build a home. After first knocking down the nest in various stages of being built, only to find it rebuilt the next day, Mike and I have decided to allow our new tenants. In fact we've been enjoying watching them fly back and forth, and now that the eggs have been hatched, we are getting a kick out of seeing their little beaks poking out for dinner time. Our only hope is that first attempts to fly are successful. Otherwise, Sadie or Sophie will find a little snack some afternoon.

If you look closely in the picture below, you can see some beaks peaking out to be fed by Mom or Dad Robin. We are assuming these are robins (right Grandma and A. Lois?).

On an unrelated note, Baby Wetzel wishes a big congratulations to her Grandpa Kruse for 30 years of service to Christ as an educator. She (and the rest of the family) is very very proud!
