Thatcher's Story

Thatcher's Story
I didn't want this to get lost in my list of posts, so I am creating a place so that everyone can easily access this link. Please read this touching story about baby Thatcher, our friends son who was born with a rare liver disease and is in need of a liver transplant. Jessie has worked closely with Brad for over 4 years and I became friends with her while working at WSA until I left last spring. Thatcher was born a month before Braden and this story really hits home for me. When I look at Braden I think about how incredibly lucky I am. This could just as easily be our him going through this. Jessie will most likely be the living donor for Thatcher and they are in need of our prayers! I promise you will be touched by reading this story. Thanks!

Mother Robin




We have a mother robin that has made a nest on our pergola outside. She has laid eggs and is very protective of her babies. Every time we go out on the patio she flys away to the fence where she makes some very ear shreeking chirps! As I was out there I realized she was in alot of distress to try and protect her babies in the nest. As a mother, I know that you will do anything to protect your precious baby. I felt bad and retreated inside. Here are some pictures of her sitting in her nest that I was able to capture at another time.

From what I can tell this is a Mocking Bird. Not a Robin. That is why it was making all that noise. They are very aggressive and protective. Hopefuly it will be gone soon and you can go back outside.

Mama has a nest of birds on her porch too! The little babies are so cute opening their mouths real wide! I must say they are driving Stormie and Brody crazy!
