Squeak! Squeak! - What the?!?!

The following happened between the hours of 11am to 12pm...

-Richard is mowing the lawn
-Mia our dog sniffs the grass and starts to dig
-Richard hears frantic squeaking
-Richard turns around to find two naked squirming *somethings* on our lawn

Turns out we have a nest of Eastern Cottontails in our backyard (god bless the internet).
We have seen wild rabbits around but never thought that they could actually establish a nest on our lawn! We were hestitant to touch the poor things for fear that the returning mother would reject the babies. But I figured they were better off in the nest rather than baking in the hot sun. I check occasionally to see if the mother has returned or the babies have been kicked out of the nest but I can't see much aside from furry nest material and frankly I don't want to disturb them. If all goes well in about 3 weeks they will have been weaned and at 7 weeks they should leave the nest. During that time we are going to have to watch Mia like a hawk - she's far too curious to be trusted.
