The Serisolas have a daily visitor, which doesn't seem to bother us inside the house, or the dogs, for that matter..however, they are still a bit pesky: Rats.
There is a collection of about 4 of them, living under a huge crate, and they come out in broad daylight to scrounge.I've tried before to get a picture of them, however, by the time I would go back inside to grab my camera, they got startled and hid. (Although, they would come out if we were just sitting out on the porch.)
We finally got one, and humanely disposed of it.. ;P
I had fun doing my hair like this a lot...my hair got a lot lighter while I was here....lots of natural blond and red highlights! (Probably from being in the hot sun so much.)
I found this little guy in the sink when I went to wash breakfast dishes. (You see him?? He almost blends in--on the left-hand side.)
One day, Nanay was preparing lunch, and we were all congregating on the porch, and poor Totoy 2 must have felt overwhelmed..so he retreated to the corner (under the cooking fire)

Sunday, all of the little kids from our church sang the Christmas songs they had learned, and our choir sang 2 songs--
Holy is He and
I Then Shall Live. I was also asked to sing a special solo, for both services, and I chose "Great is His Faithfulness", encouraging the congregation to join in on the last verse--that was pretty special!!!

| A few of us from the choir together. |
After church, we had the huge feast and celebration (with ice cream of course!!) and spent all afternoon and evening there... What a wonderful time of fellowship!!!

Praise the Lord...He is worthy to be praised!!
