Creatures, critters & children

Patrick and the children discovered a nest of baby birds near the house.

When we gently moved the leaves to get a look at them,

they would reach up with mouths wide open waiting for food.

Mary Stricklen, can you tell us what it is?

(Mary says she thinks it's a Florida Eyed Click Beetle. Thanks, Mary ; )

Daniel's garden has really been growing

One plant is a berry, but we didn't know its name so we named it

"Hansberry" in honor of Uncle Hans

We can't wait to taste these tomatoes

Strawberry plants

As I mentioned in our last post, Daniel was sick on his birthday. It turned out he had a bladder infection. This was his second. Dr. Robinson said that two is quite unusual in a little boy and that we should take him to a pediatric urologist to see if there is something more seriously wrong with him. Today, we got a clean bill of health from the infection. Now we need to look into getting with a specialist. At present we plan to wait a bit, until we get settled (I'm being optimistic that that will be soon). Please keep him in your prayers.
