White House III: All the packages - Our little birdies

Friday I was talking to my friend, Rachael, when we were visited by two UPS and the mail lady. So much stuff being sent to us. We also received a package earlier this week too. Here are the photos. I would have put them on last nights post, but they were still uploading.

Nanny's box came first. There is a dress for Maddy, two shirts for Blake, 8 board books, a card for each of them, and it all came in a wildly printed envelope.

There is also a video called Reflections of Christ. This is a video of one photographers inspiring journey. I highly recommend at least checking out the photographs if nothing else. Defininetly turn off the radio, TV and wait until your kids are asleep (or have them look with you!) when visiting the site. There is some wonderful music with it.

Here are the empty boxes and envelopes from Friday.

The big box had all of this stuff I left in Georgia. I guess this is what you leave behind when trying to get out of the house on a deadline, with a long drive ahead, a sick kid and only 3 hours of sleep. It's a wonder I made it home safely.

The box also included two outfits and two hats for Blake, two outfits and hair bows for Madison, a cute book, two easter bunny plush toys, a card for each of them, some of my favorite soup, and a little handbag/makeup bag for me.

There were cards from Donna with a Target gift card and Corri with $1 for each kiddo.

Madison is pondering what to buy with the gift card

They loved the sound and feel of the money 919-

I also got the last of my sewing stuff, the movie Pinocchio, and a CD I won on Rachael's blog. Here is a link to the contest. Rachael has a teen and toddler triplets! She is also a photographer.

We have a very small tree next to the porch. We found a nest in it which is only 4 feet off the ground. Easy peesy to take photos. It will be pretty cool when the eggs hatch. I put my finger in this one for reference.

The mama bird flies away every time I get close.

But finally with a little patience she stayed in her nest for a shot.

What

Is this

you ask?

The Australian treat Vegemite, of course.

Madison ate some and liked it, but wasn't super interested. That is until Blake was the only one eating it.

She is starting to stand a little on her own.

I imagine he is telling me to make her back off.
