Mr. Moon

We have a new pet...sort of. Every night, we have a little visitor who comes to child on our front porch. Addie has named him Mr. Moon, since he comes up when the moon is out. I'm not exaggerating when I say that he is there EVERY night.

One evening, we had some friends over for dinner and we were hanging out on the porch while the kids ran through the sprinkler. Pretty soon, Mr. Moon was perched on the edge of the steps, patiently waiting for us to leave so that he could take up his post again.

Another time, my sister in law actually saw him catch a junebug with his tongue when she was walking out the door!

This is usually how we find him!
It's pretty great to go out and see him. A couple nights ago, he was gone, and I was worried about him. But he was there again last night, so Micah thought he must have been out mating! He is super handsome after all, don't you think?
