our little vistor... an update!

Having a robin live in the girls' play house has been a pretty exciting thing for us.  Unfortunately it means the girls cannot play in it until the birds are gone, however we have been learning a lot!  It's been especially exciting for Hannah who loves to learn and loves animals - she is always wanting to see our new bird friend.
 Here she is, our little mama bird sitting on her nest.  It's not the greatest picture because I took it from far away not to scare her.  I am always trying to time it so we can get pictures of her nest while she isn't 'home'

One thing we did learn about robins is they lay one egg a day, until they have anywhere between 3-5 eggs.  After learning that, when researching how long it would take for our little egg to hatch., we had to take another peek in that nest and we found egg number 2
 And then the next day we found egg number 3

We think she is done, so 3 baby birds are what we are so patiently waiting to hatch.  We cannot wait to see them in a couple of weeks!
