Nope no news for us.. I try not to read anything online.. it just depresses me. I think the last time I looked they were matching families who got their paperwork in .. in January 2006.. so it's best I just avoid those websites... We just hope and pray that the rumor that they are going to "speed up"after the Olympics is true.. keep praying and praying.
On the local front.. Our resident Mocking Birds built a nest in our Bougainvillea right next to the house. She laid 4 eggs around May 14th ish. They were blue with brown spots.

The birds hatched.. I think around May23rd and they are growing soo fast. In this picture their eyes aren't open yet(taken 5/31). To get this picture I made chirping bird sounds and BOING their little heads would pop up with mouths open wide! You can just see all four mouths wide open!
We peeked in on them this evening. Now thier eyes are open and they now CHIRP CHIRP CHIRP when mom or dad come in with a tasty bug. Before, they'd just open wide and wiggle! Now..they make a racket! We can hear them in the house when a parent comes in with food! Also, we are able to stand right next to the nest and look in. These birds know we won't hurt their babies.. they trust us. Neither of us has been pecked at or dive bombed at...Very cool huh! Will try to take another picture tomorrow as now they are starting to get some of their flight feathers in! They were dark grey fluff balls just last week! Wow they grow sooo fast! And it's been fun to watch them grow.
That's it for now.
