hatched

we have been watching and waiting for these little birdies to arrive.  actually, we noticed only a few weeks ago that there was a nest in our tree (in the backyard.)  i tried taking pictures of the eggs last week, but didn't get close enough.  however, tonight, while grilling dinner:) i decided to take a chair over to the tree to have a look...and this is what i found.  three baby birds....if that is what you want to call them right now.  they look pretty gross.  when i first stood up on the chair i was only expecting to see a few blue eggs....not a "freaky looking bug eyed thing" (there eyes are still closed).  kylee is so excited.  i guess her preschool teacher just had baby birds at her house a few weeks ago.  the class had a great time naming them...so that is what we will be doing the next few days.  my vote, "huey, dewey and louie."  and yes, i know they are not ducks:)
