Lent and George and Emma

Lent is upon us. As usual we have all kinds of big plans but I'm resisting my usual trap of using Lent as a time to revamp our entire life :-) We have some very specific goals we are going to work towards. I actually look forward to Lent. Yes, it's a penitential time and we make sacrifices but it is usually a fairly peaceful time here at home and we tend to get a lot done, spiritually and temporally.

We have another lizard. George. Our lizard collection sounds like a Brit boy band. Jimmy, George and Michael. I love green anoles (they change color and will let you handle them) and being they are only $6.99 and that we already have a 10gal lizard tank I figured, "What's one more?"
This is a green anole.




My cord for my camera should be here soon and I can start uploading recent pics of the crew.

Oh, and Emma lost her first tooth. She is quite excited. With 5 children of tooth-losing age the excitement has worn off-we have a tooth fall out of someone's mouth at least once a month. When Katie lost her first tooth it was like she had started to walk. Poor Emma. She's lucky I managed to find an envelope for her to put her tooth in :-)
