Robins are gone :(

One by one the baby Robins left the nest yesterday. I guess I was right that they were getting big but I was hoping for a few more days with them. The kids aren’t sad though, they are talking about when the parents will come back and have another batch of babies. I think Robins have 2 sets of babies a year so maybe they will be back again this summer. I didn’t realize how much I’d miss looking at them while we sat at the table to eat. Once they were big it was a lot of fun seeing them stretch out their new wings and gobble down the worms the parents brought. Jamie kept pointing at the nest at breakfast this morning looking for them. I was going to put up a picture of the empty nest but here is one of the day the first 2 eggs were laid. If we are lucky we’ll see this again! Hopeful

    Awww, you have your first empty nest. We are still waiting for ours to hatch (hopefully).
