Busy Father's Day

We had a full day today. We left for Salem a bit early to make sure we got to see this sweet little girl (and Amber and Bj of course!). Tuesday really took to Aaron, loved looking at his shirt and touching his beard. I could just eat her up.



We had a father's day bbq at my parents house. We had lots of time to catch up with them (my sister's bf is in quarantine with swine flu, yikes!) and we got to see the baby bluebirds on their property. My dad monitors bluebird boxes and puts meal worms out for his. The father bird will see him come down and immediately go to the worms. He flies in, gets a few, flies to the ground, lines them all up in his beak, gets some more and takes the beakful to his babies. It was the last day we could safely pull out a baby and not risk them fledging. My dad does this periodically to make sure they are doing alright and that they don't have parasites.


Peruvian lily in my mother's garden. Their garden was making me so jealous. I guess they have a few years on me, but still I want beautiful rows of everything. We have a lot of grass popping up in our plots since we just tilled the grass in.


Nikki got some attention and yummy food.

We then toured a few homes (Tour of Homes) and headed off to Albany for Father's Day #2. All of Aaron's siblings were there and we had a nice dinner. Home at 10:30 is too late for me though. This weekend went by way too fast, I don't know about these 5 day work weeks...I think they might be for the birds.
