Baby Bird Motherhood Cliche on Our Porch in Bay Head, New Jersey

Rex, London, Maddie and I are out enjoying the evening on our screened in porch in Bay Head, New Jersey, and checking up on our newest neighbors. Three baby birds (I think they're robins) hatched on Thursday morning in a nest in the cherry tree right next to our porch. I was admiring them and hoping to take a picture for the blog, and Maddie remarked, "You love them as if they were yours!" London said, "What will you do when they fly away?" I told them it wouldn't be half as hard for me as it will be when London and Maddie fly away to college...but hey, I've got another 12 years!
