Baby Bean

We just got back from Carrie's first ultrasound and wanted to share a picture with everyone.

Feta is with us no more

Feta has passed away. The little guy tried to eat last night but couldn't keep anything down. Carrie tried everything she could including taking it to work yesterday so that she could feed it throughout the day. She even held the bird so that it would keep warm. But in the end there was nothing she could to and nature took it's course.

Fuzzy Feta

So we get back to our place last night and look out the window to see the tree out from had lost some weight. There was a big branch on the ground so we decided to go have a look up close. At first we thought the tree might have been struck by lightening, and were saddened that we weren't there to witness the event. Well upon closer inspection it seems it was just wind that did the damage.

We were getting ready to head back in when Carrie noticed a birds nest on the ground with a baby bird in it. A newly hatched bird without many feathers. There was also an egg that hadn't hatched yet and another baby bird but this was not alive anymore. 

Carrie has decided to try to save this bird. She had been feeding it mashed up brad and cat food. She is keeping the bird in an old feta cheese container and so has named the bird "Feta"

Father's Day

We just wanted to wish all the dads out there a "Happy Fathers Day"

 Hope you got to sit back and do nothing today. unless you actually wanted to do something then I hope you got to do that instead of nothing.

Concert

So Carrie and I went to the R.E.M. show the other night. It was a lot of fun but at 10 o'clock we were both hoping the show would end because we wanted to go to bed. I guess that is one sure sign that you are getting older. 

The opening acts were Modest Mouse and The National. The National wasn't too bad, though Carrie didn't like them at all. Of course we both liked Modest Mouse. They were part of the reason for going to the show in the first place. Unfortunately they only played five songs. Some of the people in the crowd knew who they were but most didn't realize it until the last song they played (Float On) the everyone stood up an sang along. I found it quite annoying that everyone decided to stand up then because I was enjoying the show from my seat and once everyone stood up I couldn't see anymore. Yes I'm lazy and I wanted to stay sitting down.
