Happy Friday....

Well as I mentioned in my previous post, the boys arrived the other day. It was such a happy moment greeting them at the airport. Smiles and hugs were abundant. Once we had gathered their belongings we made our trip home. As I mentioned it was a long day for all of us....the boys were a bit done in.....their dad couldn't help but take a few pictures of this rare moment when they were both actually quiet......
There's something about looking at your children sleeping...there is something so angelic about it don't you think? We arrived home just before 3pm, all exhausted...we headed for our beds for a good nap.
On another note......our resident woodpeckers are back.....we have a few very large Pileated woodpeckers but they are very camera shy.....but here is one small woodpecker who seemed to enjoy having his picture taken....

Then of course we have the resident deer....they are beautiful animals aren't they?

Well there you have it....hope you all have a fantastic day....off to work I must go...cheers all!

Good Morning, RN: Nice family! So happy for you to be with your family. My son didn't get to come home for the 4th, and I sure do miss him. Next time.

The picture of the deer! How beautiful. Looks like a dream.

My little granddaughter - Miss Maya - came by as I was looking at your pics here and she loved the photos of the woodpecker and the deer - especially the bird! Kept saying to me "Wan see the birdies again?" Great pics! Enjoy the boys visit now to the max too!

Everyone knows that woodpeckers love the camera. Remember Woody? He was always mugging for the camera.

Hi RN! Great to hear you're enjoying their visit, and thanks for the birdie. It's lunch time!

Tammy said...

I think that is the prettiest wood pecker I've ever seen!
I hope you are all rested up now!

I didn't comment on a previous post about your letting your gray grow in but I think you'd look lovely with gray hair . I had short hair when I quit coloring, left it grow out about an inch or two and then lopped off the colored hair, viola easy.

The boys look rather comfy with their step mom.

The deer and the pecker, great pictures. I never seen a Pileated Woodpecker in my neck of the woods. Don't let TomCat come visit...:)^(:.....

Do deer have ticks here? I guess they do but I know my daughter is paranoid about the deer in her garden (in New York state) because of Lyme disease.

Awww, those are such beautiful pictures. You're lucky to have such a happy family :-) Love the pictures of the woodpecker.

I hope you're having a great weekend.

Cheers,

I agree about watching your kids sleep. It is so nice too see.

Glad to hear the boys got there safely and now you can enjoy a fun time with them:-) The woodpecker and deer shots are lovely...do the deer eat your flowers? I know a lot of people usually have problems with that although the deer are so gorgeous!! Have a wonderful weekend! xox

I hope you have a good visit with the boys. We just had my daughter and five year old grandson with us and it was great. Did you know the only time five year olds are quiet is when they sleep?

You are so fortunate to have all that wildlife right out your door!!!

Michele said...

Oh, that's just so perfect with wildlife so nearby and the woodpecker posing so beautifully. Your pictures portray such a quietness that I could actually hear a pin drop...

ipanema said...

You have a beautiful environment I guess. Lovely photos!

Martie said...

Glad the boys arrived safely and you now have a chance to really enjoy them! Love the photos of the 'critters' too.

We have a red-headead wood pecker in residence in the small wooded area behind our house.....he's camera shy too!

Hugs!!!
