Even though we are in a neighborhood we have quite a few animal visitors. TONS of squirrels and birds and lizards! They are adorable (like legit, I love them) and they hang out on our back porch all the time. I guess they are all friendly with each other too because now we have baby lizards! This cute little guy is super friendly too. Kye was pumped to get to hold him and it was so neat to watch him change colors right before our eyes. He was bright green and by the time we stopped visiting with him he was brown! SO cute!!! Memory Verse: I am SO thankful we attend Central Av Church of Christ!!! I couldn't be happier there for myself but especially for Kye. He moved up to the "big kid" classes this month. He now has memory verses to learn and I am SO impressed
