Epitaph for a Mouse (Inspired by Desperaux)

Little mouse, little mouse
Not in my house
oh, little mouse

What's that?
Your tummy aches?
something toxic that you ate?

And now you sleep
and slumber deep
I wonder
Will your family weep?

But no more
will we wonder
As my kitchen
you do plunder

So, goodbye
our furry friend
This message we do send
That all others'll share this end

Beautiful Tessa

Bubbles, a breeze and a little girl...can't get much sweeter than that.

Christmas with the Cowleys

Better late than never, right?! Our dear friends, the Cowley family, came for a visit from Mozambique and stayed with us for two whole weeks in December! What a treasure. We spent Christmas morning with them and enjoyed a delicious breakfast, stockings for the kids...and a few presents too! We are so thankful for the time our families had together.
