The Flying Creatures NEVER leave!!!!

We've been working on this bat colony for SOOOO long.  Since we moved in.  Things have gotten incredibly better over the years.  We used to have quite a few bats in our living space all the time but it has slowly dwindled.  We hadn't had a bat in ages and then the night Maeve was born Paul's mom stayed in our house and one flew around in the entry way!  Poor Ina!  We couldn't find it later and haven't seen it since.  We had a contractor replace all of the rotten wood all over our house a few weeks ago to deter the bats as well.  And then, last night I was walking to VBS and Sophie was acting weird.  I went to see what she was doing (as she has taken to eating birds...) and there was a bat on the tree just hanging out. How weird! They are usually flying or sleeping, but not this guy.  And he was gone when I came home, so I know he was alive.  eeew.
