Last night we got a show as we were performing the nightly ritual of brushing teeth. A gecko or some other sort small lizard shot across the bathroom window (on the outside) and snatched up a bug. It was a rather large bug in relation to the size of the little lizard. The bug struggled to get free so the lizard proceeded to whack it against the window until it quit. We proceeded to read books and when we went back to check on the lizard's progress, he was there on the winow, without the bug. His belly didn't seem to be large enough to have eaten the whole bug so we are not sure where the insect ended up.
The sillouette of the little lizard was quite cute, with 3 little bulb-shaped "toes" on each leg. Johanna so wanted to pet him, as she had done in Hawaii last winter. Aunt Shelshel (Paul's sister Michelle) was an expert gecko-catcher and would let the kids touch them while they sought protection from her cupped hands. If we see our little guy again tonight we shall have to give him a name.
