My last post created quite a stir of email responses regarding North Carolina wildlife. My tongue-in-cheek dismissal of our potential neighborhood alligator may have been premature! Here's some evidence.
- Steve Pifer found a link to a web page filled with animal sounds, and it turns out the sound I heard was just like "Alligators4" from this web page.
- Rick Farris sent an article from the News and Observer that an alligator was found in the neighborhood pond of the Heddingham on the Neuse subdivision off U.S. 64 back in 1991.
- According to researchers at the University of Georgia, there are documented reports of alligators living in central North Carolina.
Well anyway, this is really not even tangentially related to our baby, except that he's a boy and will probably be fascinated by reptiles and all manner of other creatures. And let's note that he won't be taking a dip in the neighborhood pond!

Communication is such an important key to "life". In the far lead of first place is communication with God. It is great to share experiences with others. Something you have said in one of your blogs has already touched my heart and helped me with my grown children. And just as you received input concerning the alligator, you will find sharing what you will be experiencing and learning with your son will help others; as well as open the door for others to share from their experience therefore benefiting you, as well as others that read your blog. What a blessing this site is becoming. What a blessing for your son to be able to one day sit and read the thoughts of his mother. I truly wish I had something like that. Way to go Kristy! God is leading. :)

Call the homeowners association and report the alligator...he can go live with the geese far away from my grandson who will most likely explore the pond with or without your permission. That is if his genetics hold up and I am sure they will. Not to mention we are talking BOY! :-)
