Stamping with Pennie

Flying the Coop!

Or, in other words, leaving the nest.

The story about our birdies continues and the parallel with their life and ours really sends goose bumps up my arms.

This story started the day Chuck left PA to fly to Seattle to meet up with me (flying up from Phoenix) to house hunt.  That birdie started her house hunt that same day!

When we returned 4 days later, we had found our new home and mama bird had made her new home complete with beautiful eggs.

Final chapter:  We had kept everyone away from her nest for THREE FULL WEEKS, so as not to jeopardize the little sweet birdies making it in their new world - posted signs, warned visitors to not come to the front door, used only the garage entrance with ten days of house guests (daughter and her family).  

And THEN on the night before I knew that I would need to give up control on watching over this wonderful nest (two moving trucks were arriving the next morning -to pick up furniture and "stuff" that we decided not to take with us to Seattle, and I was so worried about the birdies being scared) - the birdies vacated their nest!

UPDATE---UPDATE---UPDATE

 

Check out OUR baby birdies!  So, there are three babies, weren't there only 2 eggs in the next (see May 24th post with picture)?  Surprised we were when we finally got a clear picture from our son-in-law and his great camera and photography skills!  Be sure to click on the picture to see a bit bigger version.  This picture was taken on June 8th, and now the birds look almost big enough to leave the nest!  Here is a picture of the mama bird at her nest taking care of everything:

packing and stamping

 
Time is going by, we still have lots to do before the movers arrive in just about 3 1/2 weeks!  Sadly, my blog is not getting it's full due attention.  My stamping stuff is not totally packed, because now I am needing thank you cards and making them is a break from other things.

Here is a card that I made semi recently-
