Birds Are Gone

Larisa and I went out to see the birds the other day and to my shock they were gone.  They were way too little to be leaving the nest.  An animal must have got them.  It was clear that the wreath had been shaken.  And after thinking about it, I remembered hearing noises at the front door during the night.  Unfortunately, I was mid sleep and too tired to go check or even make sense of what was going on.

I was so sad to find this news about our cute little birds.  Even worse was reporting the news to the kids.  Lydia and I talked about it.  "Do you think the mother bird is crying?," she asked.

I didn't tell Tyler and didn't think he cared.  Then yesterday I came in the house through the front door.  Tyler was standing there and innocently asked, "Why did you come in through this front door?  We have birds in the nest?"  My heart melted.  I told him what happened.  He took it fine.  He said maybe another bird got them---a bad one.
