the girls came in from playing with their good friend Jadyn, a 12 year old neighbor girl who recently moved out of the neighborhood, to let us know there was a baby bird outside that couldn't fly.
now this is big news to any kid, so jason went outside with them to investigate. he found a baby robin, and mommy and daddy robin were none too thrilled that their baby had fallen out of the nest. the baby was close to being able to fly, but wasn't quite ready yet...and jason couldn't find the nest.
so we took baby robin inside.
baby robin wasn't interested in us trying to feed him through an improvised syringe (a straw)...so jason went back out and watched mommy and daddy robin until they flew back to the nest. luckily it was in a small tree and not up in the big maple tree...
so we wrapped baby robin up in an old pink jacket and up the tree he went--
he sat the wrapped robin up in little nooks as he climbed higher,
and once he was within reach of the nest, he unwrapped baby robin
and sat him back in his home.
hopefully he stayed there until he was ready to really fly!

*love* your husband =) Seriously who else would climb a tree barefoot?!?!?
Hmm, I saw socks, does that still count as barefoot ;-)
