This post is dedicated to the grandmas...
Last night, Becca excitedly (yet calmly) asked me to quickly come see what was in our bedroom. Lo and behold, on her side of the bed, (of course) there was this slithery little thing about 7 inches long on the floor. It looked like a snake but it had 4 legs. I quickly scooped it into a plastic container to show to the girls and then searched the internet to see what it was. After a little looking, we determined it was a skink. Skinks are very similar to snakes and lizards and it sounds like there are numerous species of them. If you look closely in the photo above you can see his 2 rear legs. The front 2 are tucked in as he was getting ready to slither away this morning as I released him back into the great outdoors.

That's so sweet! My sons are going to love looking at this picture! Of course, they'll be jealous that they haven't found one of those in our house yet, but...
We're really excited that you guys are in country, and appreciate your very positive outlook on things here. I'm sure you will/have encounter challenges and frustrations, but your attitude towards everything is refreshing and Christ-honoring. Keep it up! :)
Hey Dave, I hope your boys get a kick out of the slithery thing! That is one of the things I get a kick out of is all the critters in the jungle and showing them to our kids.
We're excited to be here in country as well, although studying another language is crazy. We think it will be easier than Spanish, but until we get some vocab stuffed into our brains right now our conversations have to sound pretty funny. At least we have the experience to know that it happens sedikit sedikit. Blessings...
Oh, thanks, Sean! I'm sure your Mom will be thrilled just as I am! Love 'ya! Vicki
