I believe a few posts ago I promised pics of Mikey's new big-boy bike... So here it is!! He and the girls have really been enjoying the nice spring we have been having, going outside every chance they get to ride their bikes and other outside toys.. Spring has definitely arrived and I for one am LOVIN' it! It is so nice to be able to enjoy the sun and warmth.. OH! and the birds... The new pic posted at the top of the blog is our most recent addition to the Gross family! Those craaazzzy Mourning Doves!!!! We have history, those doves and I..... They were trying to build a nest in our garage... Whenever we left our garage door open they would get in there and camp out, just waiting for me to walk out into the garage so they could fly out in front of me, scare me to death, making lots of noise while bonking their tiny little heads repeatedly on the garage ceiling until they eventually made it out the door again..... It's like they were staking out the garage, as soon as we would leave the door open for longer than 30 minutes they would be in there again... Just waiting to get their jollies by surprising me again, going through the whole wing-flapping, head bonking routine over and over again.. Thankfully (after a few weeks of diligently keeping the door closed) they took their househunting elsewhere, they discovered my newly aquired hanging flower baskets on my front porch... It's a nice, covered area, has charm, and is awfully pretty to boot! So there they have settled... Not bothered when we go in and out of the house or when the kids are on the porch playing... They just sit up there, on their nest, watching the going-ons of the Gross family... I am becoming a crazy bird-lady and have to admit that on occasion I have gone out there and had conversations with them... SSSHHHH.... Don't tell anyone... But they are pretty good listeners!! We are now anxiously awaiting the birth of their babies in a few weeks... Pics to come!!!
