The Bird Count from Boise

The numbers just keep climbing. Since a week ago last Thursday -

Bald eagles - 4 sightings - 3 pairs and one single

Herons - 2 in the river, 1 in the canal, 2 flying over and 4 sightings of herons returning to their nests high in the trees by the river - There were 8 there this morning.

Ducks - Lots of mallards - of course. Widgeons - Always some on the canal and in the pond by River Run. Wood ducks - They are back on the island in the pond by River Run. Today we saw about 5 pairs. Merganzers (See posting on 2/1/09) - on the pond and the river every time we walk. Yesterday - for the first time - what we call "chocolate ducks" are back. They are so pretty with chocolate brown heads, creamy chocolate chests and brown beaks with a white frosting stripe going across it.

Canadian geese - Too many too count - and noisy!!!!

What an amazing world we live in:)

Hey everyone...thought I'd finally get back on here and say hello. I don't have any exciting new pictures, I've mostly been trying to get used to working again and learning a new area of nursing and get settled into some kind of a 'normal' life. St Lukes is good and I like working recovery so far, it's a nice change.

Pics: The trees are here in Boise down by Barber park and here's a picture of Carson and Deena's ferret goin mad for her pencil case. Last one's from the top of the arch in St Louis on our drive across country from Florida. Love to everyone!

Hot Tubbing in the Snow!

I finally figured out how to get the videos off of Gavin's camera so I thought I'd share this crazy night from December at Sunni's apartment complex. Crazy people!!

A Warm and Wonderful Christmas

It was lovely to have Sunni and Alan here to share the fun! Mom arrived a week before Christmas and we put her right to work. Shopping and wrapping, music and movies, good food and good company - it was all wonderful:)

Dan & Honey and the kids came to Boise!!!!

This is the incredible candy house we built!

Of course, we made a visit to the science museum. Janey loved running. Brookie and Emma got to use the "blue screen" and be in TV.

We decorated the tree - what a lot of memories it holds.

We went hot tubbing at Sunni's - crazy people in the snow!

Salt Lake & Christopher's Baptism was wonderful!

We loved being there on December 12th:)
