Life

I have a confession to make. I think I’m turning into a bird lady.

I mentioned in my April currently post that I had bought some bird seed and was looking forward to filling our hummingbird feeder, too. Something clicked and I have just been so excited about birds lately, lol (I think that’s the dorkiest thing I’ve said on my blog to this day).

We have two gorgeous dogwood trees in our backyard that I can see from our kitchen sink. We have a bird feeder and suet cake holder in one of the trees and we’ve been seeing cardinals, red-winged black birds, a wood pecker, and…

Ducks!

We’ve been seeing two ducks in our yard almost every day since Resurrection Sunday. I’m pretty sure I scared Jimmy the first time I saw them. I was standing at the window and was like JIMMY! YOU HAVE TO COME HERE RIGHT NOW AND SEE THIS!

Poor guy probably thought something was seriously wrong or that it was way more exciting than two ducks eating bird seed in our backyard.

So yeah, that’s where I’m at right now. Really excited about birds 🙂

What’s your favorite type of bird?

Jimmy, Sadie, my mom, dad, and I (plus Mavis and my parents pup, Brandy) all took a road trip to the Outer Banks, NC in mid-April and it was lovely!

My parents purchased a beach house almost a year ago and Jimmy and I were so excited to finally stay in it!

The 8.5 hour drive wasn’t nearly as tough as I expected it to be with a six-month-old thanks to toys, books, and mom singing plenty of made up songs to Sadie 😉

Sadie enjoyed looking at the ocean but wasn’t a fan of having her toes dipped in the water since it was so cold. Mavis was totally afraid of the waves but enjoyed walking on the sand!

We had great weather–highs in the 70s, with sunshine–most days, and enjoyed our time together. Jimmy and I were able to go on two dates (bowling and dinner out!) and so appreciated my parents watching Sadie for us!

How about some pictures?!
