Our Week

This week has been pretty quiet for us.  Mercy and I spent lots of time playing and napping at the house.  She's been fighting a cold and now a virus, so we've enjoyed a down week.  I wish we'd made a bit more progress on our case, but I am trying to wait ever so patiently.  We were told that we might know more about a possible timeline by this next Tuesday. 

A couple of funnies...

Mercy loves to look at this children's devotional book that the Cook's own.  She keeps pointing at this picture and saying, "Daddy".



Daddy

Then she points at this one and says, "Mommy". 

Mommy

That's my girl. It makes me laugh every.single.time.  Hope Cody doesn't mind me laughing at his expense.

Then the other day, we were sitting in the living room and Ellen pointed out this guy hanging on the curtain.

Our little friend

It's hard to tell from this photo, but this was a large lizard.  His body was about a foot long.  We tried to figure out how to get rid of him.  Herb and Lawrence were gone.  I thought about picking him up and throwing him outside.  The housegirls were very scared of him.  One of them said that if he bit me I would die. So we got the watchman to come.  He hit him a broom and was trying to sweep him into a bag and he took off running across the room.  The housegirls all squealed and took off.  I sat laughing.  Then the guard got him in the bag, took him outside, and threw him over the fence.  I really should have grabbed him myself.  It would have been worth the possible scratches to see their reaction. Needless to say, it doesn't take much to entertain me these days.
