Red tail hawk, sittin on a limb...

(...Lucky as a seven, livin' in heaven, With my Dixieland Delight!)

We woke up this morning to the family of 3 red-tail hawks (who live in our backyard) flying around our front yard. While scary predators, there is something fascinating about them. Whenever we catch a glimpse of (Ernie, Frita, and Alister), Evans and I just stop and watch.

Lately, they have been more visible than usual - which probably has something to do with the warmer weather and chasing lots of new little prey running about (yuck!).

We have been more visible outdoors as well, except the only thing we are chasing is our crazy little toddler!



Speaking of "lucky as a seven," I think Lent is a good time to reflect on our blessings and sacrifices.

Did you give anything up? I decided to stop nagging Evans and this weekend was so much more enjoyable for the both of us because of it. Its nice to chill out for a change and just relax! (He even brought me some flowers! Maybe this will become permanent?)

Two more days until our family arrives!! Cannot wail to see you 3 (and a half!)
