Baby Bunnies

On Monday Jeff had a suprise for me when I got home...he found a nest of baby bunnies in our yard! They are soo incredibly tiny and cute! I read online about them and found out that the mother will not abandon them if I touch them. I've been checking on them daily and holding them. They seem to like me :-) I also watched mom feed them twice this week, at dusk. They aren't even a week old yet, their eyes are still closed! We have another family of bunnies living in our yard and thankfully they've been staying out of my garden! They did eat some of my green bean plants, but I don't mind. I'm too much of an animal lover to be mad. Here are a few pictures of them...I can't believe how much they have grown in the last few days.

Here they are in their nest. Mom shedded a bunch of fur to keep them warm!






I really want to name the three of them, something that 'goes together'. Any suggestions? Granted, there is no way to tell them apart!

Those bunnies are just too adorable! How about Flopsy, Mopsy, and Cotton Tail from Beatrix Potter's Peter Rabbit?
