          Ben, Charlie, and I decided this morning we should start this journal together because we have so many funny stories to tell.   Why just this morning we had a funny thing happen.  Uncle Anthony had been here visiting.  He got up very early to leave and Ben and I got up with him to wish him off.  When he opened the front door, a bird flew through my hair and into the house.  She flew everywhere around the room before landing on the fake trees in the living room.  Upon further inspection, Ben and I realized she had made her nest in the wreath on our front door.  There were no eggs in the nest.  We woke up Dad to help get the bird out of the house.  Charlie was asleep in his bed and Uncle Anthony had to rush off so not to miss his flight.  Scott chased the bird all over the house when finally it flew upstairs.  All the doors were closed, so Scott thought he had her cornered when she decided to sneak under Charlie’s door and hide in his closet.  All of this woke Charlie, who was so excited to find a bird flying around in his room.  Eventually the mommy bird flew out the front door.  Scott thinks we should leave her nest on the door and just knock on it every time before we open the door.  Ben thinks we should just use the back door until she is done with our wreath.  I am more just fixated on the fact that the wreath is decorated for winter and I need to change the décor to spring.  We will see what happens!
