"Molly and McGee"

Our family has just been diagnosed with a rare sickness called "MOD". It stands for Molly Obsessive Disorder. A week ago my sister Laura told us about Molly and McGee. They are owls that have come to live and lay eggs in a man made owl box. A retired couple who live in San Marcos, put up a owl box on a 15 feet pole about 2 years ago. Finally, Molly and McGee came to live there and start a family. Carlos Royal put a camera inside the box so he could see live 24/7 what the owls were doing. He passed along the link to his friends and they passed it to their friends and so on and so forth. Now over 3 million people all over the world
from Alaska to Hong Kong have viewed Molly and McGee's live feed! And we are one of them! We have watched her eggs hatch and have seen McGee bring Molly food for her and the sweet owlets! We can't stop watching
this circle of life right before our eyes. Molly is such a sweet mother to her babies. We are waiting for only one more egg to hatch. Four already did, their names are Max, Pattison, Austin and Wesley. We have become so attached to these cute little owls. Madison even texts me during the day to get updates on their family. We are so excited because R.J.'s science class gets to skype
with Carlos and Molly and ask questions on the live feed. Molly and McGee have become San Marcos' biggest celebrities! I think we are all going to be so heart broken when those babies learn to fly and leave the nest. But, for right now we are all happy peeking into the Owl Box.
