geckos and...baptisms?

little tidbit-geckos tend to fall from ceilings...in case you didn't know (we discovered this at the kitchen table one night...the hard way). so when we discovered a baby gecko chillin' over our beds last night we decided the only logical thing to do was try and scare it into running away by throwing a tennis ball at it. obviously. 

[[video should inserted here but due to technical difficulties it must be posted at a later date]]

p.s. it didn't work, but when we woke up our gecko friend was gone. i don't really even want to know where he ended up. ignorance is bliss.


in other news: emer got baptized yesterday. it was again...so special. he looked so happy and so precious all dressed in white, a huge smile on his face. we took some pictures after (he's the older one in green)

brothers? yes. i know, they look nothing alike...

tell me this isn't the cutest little boy you have ever seen. you can't, can you?

lastly...drum roll please. we finished the garden {well, minus making the sign} but essentially we're done. many, many hours of hard work and lots of help from the students...and it's complete. we're pretty proud of our creation. now let's just hope things actually grow. otherwise richard says we're going to jail.

i've always wanted a machete of my own

i officially love gardening. but really though.
