Well in this life sometimes it is the simple pleasures that make it all worthwhile. Today was a good day for the girls. They had there regular school day but after school they have choir, which they get to perform Jungle Book the musical and after that they have Tae Kwon Do. It was an exciting day in Taekwondo because they got their uniform (sorry we do not know the official name for the yet). Emma got hers and wore it home, but unfortunately Hannah will have to wait for a smaller one.
When we got home we unpacked out stuff, settled in, started dinner and made the usual pee
stops. I heard a "Daddy come here!" from the bathroom, so I rushed over. It was one of those excited come heres, so I was expecting a cockroach (they fly here by the way) or a rhinoceros beetle, both of which Hannah tells me deserve to live because all God's animals deserve to live. Instead it was the largest gecko we have seen so far. Of course the girls, Hannah in particular, captured him and the proceeded to share the holding of and then releasing to the garden of Cynthia the gecko.Cynthia explored t
he armpits of Emma for a while, crawled over both of them and at one time leaped for freedom from Emm'a shoulder. The proportional drop would have killed any human but he scampered away intil the girls recaptured her. She is now free to roam and I must go as the girls are playing different songs on their recorders and it is giving me a headache. Why they do it next to me I will never know. Ah, they just played together. A symphony of recorders. Beautiful!

When we lived in Peru all the lizards that we found in our house were way too fast to capture. I'm jealous!
