Not much going in Rowley-ville lately. Hence the slow posting.
Yesterday we baby-sat the nephews, which was fun. Jonathan was go-go-go! He made us lots of desert (dirt - with rocks for marshmallows), played with cars, made a water tower for a duplo train, threw around a frisbee, danced, hopped like a frog, made airplane trains, and looked for imaginary Easter Eggs. Thomas is really just insufferably cute. He followed his big brother around admiringly; attempting to engage in Jonathan's activities. He's a lot slower, though, so mostly he wanted to be carried around and watch.
Summer's coming soon for me, the semester ends on the 23rd.
Summer's a little further away for Libby, but it'll come.
Migration just doesn't stop, though. Every Tuesday I bird my way to work and enter the info on ebird.org: birding web 2.0 sytle. Personally, I like to see the little green bar graphs for each week in La Mirada Creek Park (click here). It would be such an accomplishment to get each week filled in! Unfortunately, though I've been birding the park since September, I didn't enter any checklists until April. Someone else entered one in March, which is great, but that's a lot of wasted walks to work. Also, it means there are some birds not on the park list that I've seen in the park: Chestnut-sided Warbler, Plumbeous Vireo and Olive-sided Flycatcher (all from the same amazing day back in September (or was it October?)!).
I put up some new pictures on Flickr recently of birds at Biola this week. Check it out here:
