The Owls Have Landed!

Much to our delight, the owls arrived safe and sound yesterday.
Since they came from Australia, they were quite fatigued, but
they perked up as soon as we pulled them out of the box. They're
even cuter than we hoped they'd be! See below...the larger ones
are already roosting (and resting) nicely in their new tree.


Here's another shot from a different angle.


And here's a closeup of one of the downy owls.


Since we don't yet have the crib in the room, we
didn't hang the mobile with the four little striped owls.
Read our last blog for the story behind these owls and
a look at the four little ones.

In the next day or so, we'll post some fun new photos
and videos of Benton. We'll also have some almost finished
house projects to show you. Meanwhile, we wish you all a
great day!
