For the Birds...

The exciting news at the DeBoer house these days is that we have a robin's nest on our front porch! Joel is beside himself. Grace has no idea what is going on, but she is feeding off of Joel's energy with lots of giggles and squeals!
Curt had a ladder out on our front porch, and the bird must have built this nest in like a day! It has three little eggs in it that we are very excited about. Joel says that those birds will hatch soon, so we will have to wait and see. I'm just doing my best to keep them from climbing up and grabbling the nest or pulling the eggs out!

JOEL-ISMS...

Other than the nest, Joel has been cracking me up more than usual lately (hard to believe, I know!). He started referring to things as "the donk" the other day. It took me awhile before I realized that he was trying to say "ridonkulous" which is just a crazy word that Curt likes to use. So I laugh every time Joel says something like, "That show was the donk."

We were in the car yesterday and he was being very quiet. So, I asked him what he was doing. He said, "I'm just thinking about something." I responded, "What are you thinking about, buddy?" To which he said, "Maybe I'll tell you when I'm older like four or something. I'm gonna keep this one."

I called him Buster the other day in passing. He was NOT a fan of that. He told me, "I am not Buster. You can call me Joel or the J-man. That's all."
