New Additions


We added two new members to our family yesterday. Well, I should really say "I" because I didn't exactly mention it to Heath until after the fact. When he got up to get ready for work he found two little kittens (without any mittens) curled up on the couch. They're six weeks old and brother and sister. We named them Charlie and Lola. Charlie is black with a few white hairs on his chest and the tip of his tail. Lola is a dark gray tiger with white around her eyes and on her tummy. She looks just like her mama. She's going to be gorgeous, too, I'll bet. Charlie is the cuddly one, but Lola isn't far behind. They were both a little timid at first (and who wouldn't be around Abby and Perrin), but they seem to have warmed up now. They slept with me last night (guess I can't bear sleeping alone after all) and did really well. Charlie was curled up around my belly all night and Lola by my head. For being so tiny they sure know how to take up a bed! Charlie followed me all the way downstairs this morning like a shadow. He meows whenever he wants attention, which is a LOT.

The lady we got them from runs an in-home daycare so, thankfully, the kittens are already tolerant of kids. I still have to remind Perrin now and again that it's not polite to carry the kitties by their heads. I try to make the kids give them breaks now and then. I mean, really, who wants to be stuffed into boxes and carried around by the belly all day? I can only imagine what it'll be like if Abby discovers her doll clothes with fit Charlie and Lola!

I've never posted a video before, but I'm going to try today. Perrin just cracks me up and I have to share this one.
