Something New

Back when Kamden was in grade one she made a bird house. The bird houses were built really well, but when Kamden brought her house home we really didn't have anywhere to put it. It ended up on the patio deck and we told Kamden that the chances of a bird actually making her birdhouse a home was slim to none. Two weeks ago when I was doing yard work I noticed that a bird was flying in and out of her house, so I decided to peek inside. Lo and behold there was a nest with 6 eggs inside. The bird is a Wren (that is what my dad told me). It finally happened the eggs hatched (4 of the 6). I didn't see them hatch but they are definitely brand new. I looked yesterday and they hadn't hatched then, so I figure it happened early this morning. I took some pics...

Only one more sleep till we are off on The Road Trip. We finally got it all packed and even some of it already loaded in the van. I can't even tell you how stressed I get packing for me and the kids and making sure that Trevor had all his stuff together. All in all I think I did okay and I think I have everything. I guess only time will tell.

I began the running challenge yesterday as I thought July 1st would be a good time to start as well as force me to get in at least a run everyday while on holidays. So as before the rules are I have to run at least 20 minutes a day and it has to be done before midnight. Last time I made it just over 200 consecutive day...I believe it was 214 days if I remember correctly, but I'd have to look at my past blogs to find out. That was quite an accomplishment, but we'll see how it goes this time around.

+++++Trevor just informed me that it was 205 days of running consecutive days+++++

I have a new camera, so I will be taking and posting pictures on the blog daily and I will try to post a little update on what we do everyday.
