Larry The Lizard {A Wordful Wednesday post}

Meet Larry: We found him climbing our house this evening. Larry is a very brave lizard. I know this because he obviously saw Jack from up there on the wall, and still decided to come down to say hello. The boys had just dried off from swimming and were so excited to play with their [...]
