SNAKE!!!

So Nate was in the backyard, finishing the grilling that I had started before he got home. Sophie goes out with him and yells,"Daddy, snake!" SOOO thankful it had fallen down into the window well and couldn't get out, he was a good sized snake. We had some neighbors send their kids over to check it out - it was really mean and would strike at anything you put down there. We weren't sure what kind it was, but the boys across the street said that it was a Copperhead - 1 of 2 poisonous snakes here in MD.

So, they took the gracious liberty of ridding us of the snake, and after a careful dissection and removal of the frog that it had just eaten along with who knows what else - boys, I'll tell ya, haha, and I will soon have 2! - they also confirmed that it was a venomous snake! Just the thought of Sophie frog hunting in our backyard and coming across this guy on her own ... I never realized I hated snakes so much until this one made it's way into our yard. Thank you Jesus for your protection, and for neighborhood boys who thrive off of things like this :).
