So we no longer have our 12 baby ducks...

(teary eyed) they flew off a few weeks ago

BUT I do find the whole experience to be an absolute

BLESSING...

we don't live by a lake, river, or even a pond

so to have Momma Duck

lay her eggs in a bush next door

and

share the experience of raising them with us

was an absolute thrill!!!

We enjoyed watching them grow into

beautiful ducks!!!

Drew LOVED feeding them everyday and occasionally swimming with them!!!

It was such a wonderful experience!!!

Thanks Baby Ducks

We are happy to still see Momma Duck in our yard every night!!!

She is after all Drew's FAVORITE!!!

We have also found other babies in our yard....

today~ we found 2 baby doves...

so cute!!!

Drew liked them but then wanted to go talk to

Momma Duck!!!

they are super cute though...

we are crossing our fingers that Momma Duck chooses the same nest next year!!!
