rescue

yesterday the kids were out swimming with mark.  the house was quiet when all of the sudden the back door swung open and jonah hollered, "mom!  hurry and get the camera and come outside!"  
i did not know what to expect.  i grabbed the camera and followed his urgent plea.
turns out, mark saved a(nother) baby lizard from certain death in our pool.  i told you we are serious about our lizards.  this one stayed on mark's hand for several minutes to catch his breath, then he was off to eat some bugs.

That guy is tiny! I'm not a fan of lizards but when they are that tiny they are kind of cute. :) I can see why you would just HAVE to rescue it.

So sweet! I used to catch baby lizards all the time when I was little. I was too slow to catch big ones.

Sarah, I really like: That Mark saves lizards, that he saved this one, that you took a picture of it, and that you posted it. And also I really like your blog and the lovely pics you post of life in Haslipland. I miss all of you!

Diana,
Hope you're having fun in D.C. Great to hear from you, a fellow lizard-lover.
