Maybe it's because they have a fresh audience for all their silliness. (There's something to be said for the old, "children should be seen but not heard"...)
So we had company last night. Actually, overnight. Two missionaries - young guys, therefore "cool" in the eyes of the boys. By the time they arrived I had already put the boys to bed. Gunnar and Tate have little resistance to the warm comfort of their bunks, but Wyatt - I suspect - kept himself awake, listening for their arrival.
And as he waited, squirreling around and looking out his window, he noticed some other visitors...
One was resting on a branch, like a fat little bear,
and these two were trying to decide whether to go up higher to find a sleeping place, or if all the lights being shined on them were just too annoying...
Our human visitors...
arrived just in time to see the wildlife and take the photos for us :0)

How great that they stayed with you! (Jim and Sean, not the raccoons) I loved looking around the chapel this morning at the young boys listening in awe as they spoke. What wonderful examples of obedience and adventure with the Lord.
Cool! We love company, too. Tonight, Benjamin said, "You mean nobody is coming to supper tonight?" And this is after three nights in a row of company :-)
Hi! I just found your blog by clicking on your comments on the Choate Family - I have laughed out loud at so many of your posts! What a blessing as a Christian to laugh and enjoy life! God bless you and your wonderful life with those boys!
Blessings,
Ava
