Komen Race for the Cure

Saturday was our Komen Race here in Central Texas. Needless to say, things looked questionable the night before when huge thunderstorms blew through the area, bringing hail, high winds, and rain. But Saturday dawned clear, cool, and windy. But a great day for the walk!!
Haven't heard the headcount yet but there were lots of people there.A few of the members of our Courthouse team!! Great job ladies!!

Lovebirds

A friend from work gave me a pair of lovebirds. They are young and untamed. They screech and make lots of noise, I think they will be going out into the aviary shortly......

Great Time!!

We had a great time last night celebrating Greg's birthday with dinner and Chicago!!
We met another couple for dinner at Shogun's, and the concert. We had only eaten at the restaurant once before, it is one of those places that you save for special occasions.
This guy was our "chef"....
He grilled us shrimp, steak, rice, and veggies. Yum!!
Then today, we celebrated Greg's birthday at lunch.......note that that is a question mark on his cookie cake.....

Easter was fun!!

Easter started out cloudy and drizzly, not what the weatherman was predicting. Finally at about 3:00, it cleared and the egg hunt was on!!

Charley was busy loading up the eggs!! Jonathan decided that he would join in.
When Jonathan looked the other way, Charley decided it was time to dump Jonathan's bucket!!
And she stopped to snack on what was inside.....
But Jonathan was fine with it, enjoying fun in the swing!!
It was a good day for family fun!!

Hope everyone had an egg-stra special Easter!!

Poor Charley.....

Sweet little Charley fell on Friday and broke her front tooth when she hit the floor. The dentist said it needed to come out so it got pulled on Saturday morning. So now she will be the first person in her kindergarten class to lose a tooth.....Charley is not in pain in this photo, this is the face she now makes when you tell her to smile!!! After teaching her this, her dad may never get another "nice" smile from her, or at least for a while anyway.....

New Babies

When I went out to check on the birds Monday morning, the baby diamond dove had flown his nest. He was sitting on the ground, so I put him back in the nest. Next time I checked on him, he was sitting on the limb, acting like a grown up.
The baby is a tiny little thing, even smaller than a sparrow. When I went to check on them on my way out to walk, this is what I found. Luckily, they sat still while I went to get the camera. Isn't this the cutest thing with the whole family sitting together?
This is the ring neck teenage dove. It is too early to know if it is male or female. And too early to be able to tell if it is going to stay white or not. Its baby sibling is sort of a tan color so just maybe this one will stay white. Am hoping so.
I got a pair of young lovebirds yesterday from a friend that I work with. Not sure where I am going to put them. They are very pretty, and sometimes quite noisy!!!

Baby Diamond Dove

If you look closely, you can see the baby bird peeking out from under momma. The slight red cast to the picture is because of the red heat lamp. The baby is just about as big as the adult birds!! But they continue to try to keep it warm and fed. If the other egg had survived, there is no way there would have been room for two. The ring neck dove has one new baby, too. She had one egg that didn't hatch. We are having a cool spell this weekend, the weather has been great and now it is cold!! As soon as it warms up again, I think the parakeets are going out into the outside cage. They are fun to have inside, I like to hear them talk and fuss with each other, but they are just so messy!!!

GO LADY BEARS!! BEAT GEORGETOWN!!
