New Addition!

Psych! No, this isn't THE new addition. I just wanted to post a picture of our newest pet. After much gentle persuasion, Matt was enticed into letting us bring a kitty home from his parents' farm a few weeks ago. When we arrived at the farm for a visit, Patches had already had a week of being "loved on" by the visiting cousins, and she would still purr when our kids picked her up and flopped her around! I decided, "Nice cat," and Ellie simply fell in love with her. (She is really cute!) So now she's at home in our garage and seems quite happy roaming the yard. So far, so good. I'm glad to say that she is getting lots of love and attention, and I think her prospects look pretty good, as a cat's life goes. Not to mention, Matt got to be the benevolent hero who made his kids' dream of a kitty come true!

As for our other addition, he seems to be quite content where he is for now, although I think I see a full moon up there tonight...Dream on, Bob.

So it's a "he"?

Congratulations on the new addition - barn cats are the best!

As for your new little boy...hang in there. Hopefully he'll be here soon!

I have missed reading your blog and are so happy you are at it again. We are anxiously waiting to hear of your big event! Love the picture of Ellie with the new kitty. She looks just like her mother at that age! We missed you at the reunion this year.

Jewels - The baby is a "he" and the kitty is a "she".

Aunt Bev - It's strange...I can remember looking like Ellie looks. We missed seeing everyone at the reunion...next year!
