Life Happens

I didn't realize it had been so long until I had done the math. I hope I won't have such a lapse next time so just a few highlights for the last 6 months:
Rick finally got his RN
Marcus turned 1. He had no interest in the cake, he wanted to play with the lit candle

Libby was finally brave enough to get on the back with a lot of coaxing

We got rid of our lovely truck (yeah!), it was not fun to ride in while pregnant

Grandma Brown came for a visit

Libby turned 6

I turned, well you can see for yourselves

Marcus got his first haircut

On a final note we no longer have a cat. It really did belong to some one else. But we were glad to give him back to his rightful owner.

We Have A New Pet?!

About Thanksgiving time I put a turkey to defrost on the back porch. It is like my second fridge in the winter time. Any how I noticed that something was trying to get into my turkey and started looking around. This cat starts hissing at me from the bottom of the stairs in the yucky dark basement. So I move my turkey into the house and leave the back door open for a few days hoping that the cat would leave. I didn't hear from it again. Saturday night Jorie goes to get in the shower and she comes running out there is meowing coming from the vents. So I go to check it out and out comes this cat and he is hungry and not hissing at me. So I do what any person would do, I feed it. He was so pretty, I couldn't help it. Jorie kept calling me the crazy cat lady. Call Animal Control Mom! To my defense it was 10 p.m. So I do even better and go buy it cat food. Rick finally called the land lord today and asked if we could keep it and to our surprise she said yes. So this was what we did (b/c I wasn't touching it):


See, isn't he a pretty kitty. I think that someone is actually missing him. He uses a litter box and seemed to be on to us when we went to bathe him. We named him Zorro. We actually don't know his sex. It could be a girl.

On another note this is Marcus' favorite new face to make
And him begging for a drink out of Rick's cup. He seems to know that he will always get something good out of it.
