so, a couple weeks ago I was happily nursing my baby, staring out our sliding glass door into the backyard and what do I see...

yes, a bobcat...

frightening, right?!?!

I told my mom about it (something similar to this):

Me: hey mom, guess what i saw in our backyard today?

Mom: what kind of creature?

Me: a bobcat!

Mom: what? scary! can you call animal control or something?

Me: what and have it relocated to its natural habitat?

Mom: yeah, away from Luke

Me: mom, my backyard IS its natural habitat!!

:)

Let's just say I've had my fill of creatures - just today I found a scorpion in the living room (after Greg had left for work) - and a spider in my laundry basket... ick ick ick

by the way - Luke had his first plane flights last week and did awesome!! we definitely like plane travel even more than car travel right now - God bless the airlines for not requiring him to be in his car seat (AKA the torture chamber)

*** Discount Home School Supplies is holding a contest to give away a microscope. You can choose between one of the three following miscroscopes from [her] website, an MSK-01 Microscope, an MFL-06 microscope, or a SMD-04 Microscope. Just blog about the contest and link back to Tami's Blog. ***

update

as of his doctor's appointment yesterday, Luke weighs 17 pounds, 12 ounces!!!!
he's not even 4 months old yet! that's over 10 pounds gained since birth!! we are so proud - since he still has only had his mother's milk and never a bottle. praise God from whom all blessings flow!!
