Culdesac Visitor








































The kids spotted a hawk on our rooftop the other day. It has hung around the culdesac for several days now. Kenneth captured a few photos of our visitor. I hope he stays around so he can eat any stray mice that might want to wander into my garage. It does finally explain the enormous piles of bird poop on our driveway, though. One of the picture shows the hawk cocking its head at Kenneth as he took the picture.

Last weekend we went to one of our favorite parks. Kenneth and Evelyn wanted to try to fish, even though the pond has a catch-and-release policy. No luck on the fishing, but they did find a duck egg that looked like it had been abandoned, although they were careful not to touch it in case the mother duck was out for a swim.

We are looking forward to the weekend because we will see all of the grandparents in one place for Evelyn's birthday party! She will be having her 8th birthday at the house with a few friends. I bought some plain t-shirts at Hobby Lobby and some fabric 'puffy' paint so that it can be both an activity for the kids to decorate their shirts AND the thank-you-for-coming birthday treat.

Tell Evelyn Happy Birthday from us! Caleb is sad that we can't come. We are sending a gift with Mom. Cute haircut!
