Boys & Birds and Time

I was gone for four days this last week, which to most people doesn't seem like a lot of time. To me though, it seemed like months had gone by. When I got home everything had grown; the grass had grown, the garden had grown, the chickens had grown and you boys had grown. Not just in size, but in vocabulary, humor and mannerisms. I didn't realize having children would put me in a time warp where everything happens faster.
We also have new additions to the family. There are birds building a nest in the birdhouse Uncle Imad built. There will be new babies in the Spring.
