Happy 10th Birthday Will!

On January 17th our baby turned 10! We no longer have any kids in the single digits. To celebrate Will invited a couple of his fellow Star Wars crazed friends over to spend the night. They spent the afternoon having squirt gun fights and light saber duals in the back yard.
It was a great time.

Dueling in the backyard!

Will builds Lego Boba Fett's Slave 1


Just as a bonus: Here's our Maggie this week at 5 months old.
We've been having a "cold" snap and she has enjoyed curling up in Will's bean bag chair


Our friend, Larry came to visit us last week from the US
and brought Allan and Scott each a high quality Rat Trap
to try and help tackle our recurring rat infestation .

Here are the great hunters the morning after their first try.
Allan caught this one in our office--Yuck!
So far they have caught 2 or 3, but only one inside the house.

****Addendum to rat info: Last night after posting this blog and going to bed, I was awakened by a strange noise outside our window. I went to the window thinking someone might be in our yard. It wasn't a someone, but a something. A cat was absconding with a rat caught in Scott's trap. When I spotted him he was trying to get through the gate. Allan and I jumped up and ran downstairs after him. Unfortunately he got under the gate before we could arrive. Allan tried to chase him down but there was no sight of cat, rat, nor trap.
I hate to lose such a valuable tool in our war on rats.
Isn't this how you always envisioned the exciting life of missionaries?
