This little birdie seems to be looking out for his mommy and daddy to return and bring him and his brothers and sisters some tasty morsels. I'm not sure how many babies there are in there with him...but more than just one. You can really hear them when Mommy or Daddy Bluebird come back...they really let Mom and Dad know that they are starving!
Woody got up early, but didn't go on a walk right away as it was rather chilly...sort a taste of Fall in the air these mornings of late. Early Sunday morning Woody found a cell phone in the parking lot of the high school when he was on his walk. It was dead when he got it home so I checked and my charger cord fit so I got it charged...then I couldn't figure out how to turn it on! So I had Nathan help me out. He checked and found a listing for "mom" so he put in a call and left our contact information on a message on her phone. Early this morning we got a call from the young man who had lost it. Okay you know that it is a small town when you know the person on the other end of the phone line! A bit later his mom called to thank Woody for finding it and letting them know. Woody made arrangements to get it to the young man...Woody walked to the high school and met him outside the band room...so walk #1 for him today. When he got home, he headed off on walk #2 to take some tomatoes to friends. Now he is off on walk #3 for the day...to the prayer room at church.
Big excitement at school today. I added a new class...ART!!!!! Elijah came over for his short time, then he read with Woody and went back home. Esther came over after Elijah and had her time and THEN her brother and two sisters joined us over here and we had art class for the four oldest children. We had fun...learning what "art" is (not just painting!) and then talked about illustrators of books (Beatrix Potter this time) and then made some drawings using thick and thin lines. Today we used markers and crayons and colored pencils (mainly markers!). I think that fun was had by all and they look forward to their next Tuesday art lesson. After art, Graham stuck around and we had his sewing lesson. He actually got to sew a "fine seam" today!
Then after lunch, Goosey and I headed next door to take care of all five of them while Nathan and Kathy headed off to Nashville for an ultrasound that their OB had ordered. They went to the same Vanderbilt location that we went to last Friday. They just got home a little while ago so that is why I am late blogging...plus I had to look through a lot of birdhouse pictures to find one with the baby peeping out!
