of the birds

This morning we had a birding moment when Mom M was enjoying the birds out the window and decided she'd better call some other birders to come take a look.  Soon the powerful camera and binos were busy at work.

 A few of the common redpolls they were enjoying.

 There were literally hundreds of these birds, flying in a flock and enjoying our tree.

A possible hoary redpoll made it much more exciting...can you tell if it is one?

 Meanwhile, on the inside...

 And this photographer had his models posed and ready :)

A couple of extras for the afternoon kept Chelsie and themselves busy :)

 Enjoy the last day of 2011!

Merry Christmas

Wishing you a wonderful Christmas with family!  May you remember the Gift given by God in His Son Jesus Christ.
Love Leanne, Brian and family

It was great

to be in Wisconsin

to be with Carolyn and Brody

to enjoy the littlest sweet boy

to work with Brody on the farm project

to enjoy the sunrise

to bask in the sunshine (inside)

to see the farm where they hope to move to

to bake together

 to play piano together

to photoshop together

to have cousin time

to play together

to laugh together

to shop together

to get clean together (as kids)

to relax together

 

 to read stories together

  to enjoy these chubby cheeks and legs

 to go out to eat together

 to have friend time

 to give kisses

 to be crazy together

 to enjoy more chubby cheeks and grins

 to watch daddies leave together

 

 and beat them up together

to simply BE together.

We hope we'll still be welcome back despite bringing the flu and an eye infection to WI.  

So sorry for both!  THANKS for everything.  It WAS great.  Love, us
