Kate, Megan and an Owl - Wow!

I love having my grandchildren spend the night. Yes, it makes me tired, but who cares it's worth it. We played hard and had some fun until just after 8:00, then it was bed time. They both went to bed without a sound. Megan only woke once at midnight and after a quick feeding she was back to sleep.

My morning began beautifully with Megan awake at 6:00. She really is a good sleeper. I sat on the couch and fed her and when she was done she treated me to about 10-15 minutes worth of sweet baby talk. What an angel! It was so cute I just sat and enjoyed. Kate didn't wake until 8:00 and then Megan was back to sleep. Kate snuggled on my shoulder for a bit (which I love and there is nothing better) we ate some breakfast and played some then it was time for a bath. She loves her bath time so I was surprised when she agreed to get out after only 20 minutes.

We had a fun time and they are both as good as gold.

But what happened next I wish Kate could have been there to see. She loves birds.

After they had left, Jim was out in the garage and yelled for me to come out. He told me to grab my camera. I was sure glad I did. A barn owl had found refuge in the upstairs of our garage. The poor thing was so frightened. He kept flying into the window and falling to the ground. Finally Jim was able to get around him, open the window, and off he flew. What a beautiful creature.

I think it's time for our doors to go on. I don't mind the owl, but there are a few other questionable creatures I would not want to find up there.
