Thumpity Thump Thump

....So, I want to tell you about something(s) that was/were uncovered in our nice Olathe backyard this morning. We usually leave Blue in the backyard unsupervised in the a.m. This morning, I looked out and it appeared that he had dug a large hole. I brought him in and in the attached pics, you'll see what I found. I don't know if these things are okay or what, but I'm trying to determine what needs to be done with them. Animal control told me to cover the hole back up and wait for the mother. Great. Thanks for your help!!!

Any ideas???

This is what the hole looks like...There's fur all over the place. From where???

I put these guys back in the hole and covered them up with the grass and fur from the nest.

And here they are. I don't know if they're hurt or what?! But I don't think that one on the bottom left is doing too good.

What have the Starrs been up to?

It's been about a week since our last post. But I have some random pics to give you an update...

Our Blue Boy at the Lake!! He loves the water!

The Skipper

Mary Ann and Gilligan

The black speck in the sky is a BALD EAGLE. Totally cool. He was swooping down for fish until he was chased away by the swallow brigade.

Here's one of the only pictures that turned out from our Fantastic Quatro de Mayo party! These are our friends, Andrew and Andy. Ole!

This is one of my favorite things. Every so often, the Blue Valley kids think it's a hoot to put dishwashing liquid in the fountain across from where Mark and I work. It bubbles up and sometimes, the suds start blowing across the street and into traffic.
I agree. It is a hoot.

Work it, own it!

Monday night, my Grandma, Mom, two aunts, and I went to a fashion show that my Grandma's church was having in Overland Park. The participants were modeling dresses that church members had worn in years past. My Mom modeled the "Mother of the Bride" dress that my Grandma wore in my parents' wedding.

...Getting ready to go on. Supermodel!!

This is me with my lovely ladies. What fun!
These three are nothing but TROUBLE. Don't let the innocent grins over the roses fool you! We all had a great time. Thanks for arranging this wonderful night out, Mimi!!!
