One of "those" moments

I usually don't post more than once a day, but we had a very special moment I just had to share. So after you check out this post, make sure to go back and see Boston's birthday post.

While I was working on my laptop this morning, the boys spent some time in the sprinkler. I really enjoyed watching them play. I have to admit I did'nt get much work done while they played. Afterward they were done I decided to give our parched yard a little more water. Not long after I came back in to work I noticed that our yard was getting full of little brown birds, that after a dip in the sprinkler started to turn into Robins and Cardinals! At one point we counted 13 birds standing in little puddles primping and preening.

Our first 2 little visitors

A little while later we had another special visitor... a humming bird! As you can see he was enjoying his shower very much. First he would stand and let the shower clean his little body, and then...
he would stand very still with his little wings spread to dry off. Every once in a while he would fly around and sip water off of the needles, then he would go back to his perch for another shower. What an amazing moment this was for the boys and I. They have never lived anywhere like this before. What and amazing God, to know our needs and exceed them! I am so thankful I had a chance to share one of "those" moments with my boys.

Oh! one more thing...I love my Cannon PowerShot. I took these pictures from inside my house, through my dusty front window at least 20 or 30 feet from the birds.
