This morning there were two birds loudly singing and talking. At first I just enjoyed their pleasant chatter as I would listening to someone singing in Italian or French. Then I actually heard the words they were saying. The gray/white bird clearly was telling the bluebird that she understood that Katie would be away for a month and that nearly two week had gone by and she would have to continue to stay a bit more than two weeks. "I understand the family is in turmoil, they don't seem to work anymore and they get in and out of their cars alot",said the bluebird. Gray/white replied,"Yeah, three of them don't seem to be able to care for the little one. Oh don't get me wrong, they are providing for the little one but boy do they seem flummoxed. Imagine three of them can barely take over for Katie." Bluebird said in a stage whisper, "They all miss her but they are trying to give the impression that everything is really okay because they don't want her to worry." Graybird sang a soft sweet sounding lullaby and then quietly said, " All of them will be so happy when Katie returns to the nest."

Dear Katie,
Good Morning. Bet you are getting a little bored by now. Those pictures of Zach and all at the beach were great- no wonder you were jealous!!! Pretty soon you can be with them.
This is my 3rd night at work and tonight will be the 4th and then 10 off, Yipee!!! I will be so gald. this morning when I was taping report, I fell asleep on a newspaper and had newsprint all over my face. What a jerk!!!
I have a staff meeting now and then fly home to get a few Z's and back at 7pm.
Well, love you much and talk with you later.
Barbara

Katie, Your blogs are a great way for all of us to keep in touch. This was a great idea and a special memory maker for all of us. I've become educated about the BMT process and I have just loved seeing the photos of Zach. Looking forward to the day that you are able to go home. We are all cheering you on from Chi Town!

Am so glad I live in a family where people translate birdsongs. It makes sense since one of us wakes up one morning as a dinosaur and the next morning a grasshopper.
