yesterday the kids (and i) spent quite a while watching a pair of sandhill cranes that passed the day in our neighbor's yard. these cranes normally spend their time in the marsh across from our neighborhood and we only hear their calls when they fly over the neighborhood every morning and evening. i kept hearing them yesterday and by chance i saw them across the street at our neighbors' house. madelyn really enjoyed hearing them "sing" over and over. i couldn't believe how loud they were when we went out to get the mail and took some video for your listening pleasure...
watch the birds isn't all we did yesterday though. while i was working i encouraged madelyn to help 'teach' mason some words since i have noticed that he can point out animals in books when asked. mason climbed up into a chair and they 'read' together for a few minutes. at least until madelyn thought that mason was pushing the book too much. love.

whoa - those birds are loud. I saw more wildlife tonight as I was leaving the neighborhood - an alligator!
Grandma really hopes she gets to see those cranes. How neat to have them so near you. Madie and Mason look like they play so nice together.
