We were so blessed to have had a Robin build her nest so we could watch over her babies. The nest was on the 2nd floor window of our garage by the stairs and we could not get enough of these baby birds. We celebrated when they hatched and were so sad when they died. Last night was a brutally cold night and we think it just got too cold for them.
The kids really wanted to bury the birds and say goodbye.
Tate was so sensitive and said can you imagine a mother losing all her babies on Mother's Day? He said he was thankful she did not know there was such a holiday.

Saying goodbye.
Tate really wanted to look at the birds and study them. He is the one who has several animals in his dissection kit. All we did was look at the birds and try to understand why some were more developed than others. Could it be that a mother Robin lays only one egg a day and yet they all hatch about the same time?

| Isn't this next just incredible? |
The burial.
