New Additions!

For my birthday Ron agreed to get me a kitten. Typically, I couldn't decide between two kittens at the shelter so we ended up bringing home both of them. They are such sweeties and I love watching them play.



This is Scout. he is about ten weeks old and I fell in love with his eyes which are the color of the Carribean sea. He is a polydactal and has extra toes on all of his feet which give him the appearance of having catcher's mitts for paws. He is a wild little thing who already loves playing with the dogs.




This is Taser. She is an itty-bitty kitty about six weeks old and I can tell she is going to be a beautiful cat. She loves to cuddle and will walk up to us purring wanting to be picked up. She even wants to snuggle with the dogs. We have a lap cat in the making here.





Taser, surprisingly, is not afraid of Nathan even though he squeals loudly when he sees the kittens. He is quite gentle with them and likes to pat Taser on her head when she walks up to him. The kittens are confined to the sunroom and we go "visit the kitties" several times a day.




Our other kitties don't want to meet the new kittens yet but that is normal. We have four now and I know that sounds ridiculous but we have the ability to give homes to a couple of kittens who needed a family. I encourage everyone who has room in their hearts and their homes to adopt a dog or cat from the shelter. They add so much joy to a home.

Nathan At 22 Months

Nathan is growing and learning new things all of the time. He makes a great deal of noise right now and "talks" to us in his own language. At the doctor's office, Nathan was measured as 31 inches tall and 18.5 lbs. He just discovered that he can climb so our lives are about to get more challenging.

I don't like having children in the kitchen while I cook because I'm afraid I'll trip over them or drop something hot on them. Nathan, however finds it impossible to stay out of the kitchen when he knows food is being prepared. We reached a compromise in that Nathan sits on the island with his drink and gives me his opinion while I cook.

Here's a video of my little man at 22 months.

Happy Father's Day!!

On Father's Day we went to church and then to a very manly sports grill and had BBQ. It was our first Father's Day since Nathan became our son. We all had a nice time.
