Crosby

Crosby's agent called and complained that she (or possibly he) wasn't getting enough face time on the blog. So, to remedy that, heeeeeeeeere's Crosby!

Kittens!!

Unfortunately these cuties are not our kittens, but we spent an hour or so this afternoon playing with them. The two on the left belong to my sister Tina (as yet unnamed because they are still living with my sister Terry) and on the right is my niece Shelby's kitten Crosby (or possibly Lorelei since the vet things that Crosby is actually a girl kittie!)

Lizzie would give everything to have her very own kitten and once even noticed some allergy medication on an endcap when we were on Walmart and wanted to buy it, so a kitten wouldn't make Daddy sneeze.

I think there MAY be a kitten (or two) in their future, but we're still working on Daddy's allergy issues. (And the fact that I'd rather have a poodle!!)

This is one of Tina's kittens that right now is being called either Frak or Thing 1

And this is Frik or Thing 2:Lizzie playing with Frak and Crosby/LoreleiAnd then watching Crosby/Lorelei wrestle with Frik

Hannah has never been too interested in cats, but since she loves babies, she also loves baby cats. Here she is with one of Tina's.

Me Me ME!!!

Feeding Time

As you all know, Hannah LOVES babies. So she was thrilled beyond belief when she was allowed to feed her cousin Brenna. I am probably very biased, but I just love this picture!

Wacky Wednesday

The girls were upstairs playing in their room so I went to check on them, to find Lizzie sitting on her bed staring at the dresser (Hannah was changing her clothes in the closet for about the 47th time today).

Me: What are you doing?
L: Watching my pretend TV.
Me: What's on.
L: The Simpsons. It's funny.

Then she went on to tell me that it would be really nice to have a real TV in her room. I told her not a chance. :) Rob is hoping that soon she'll be happy to play with a pretend cat. Again, I say, not a chance.

Kindergarten Roundup

Hannah and Lizzie went to the Kindergarten Roundup today. Let me tell you kindergarten sure is different today than it was 45 years ago when I went. I found my class picture from kindergarten while I was going through boxes (still!) the other day and saw that there were 35 kids in my kindergarten class. I also found my 3rd grade picture and there were 30 kids in that class. Yet somehow I managed to get educated. The girls' kindergarten class will have somewhere between 17 and 23 children. However, the most jarring thing was not class size or the fact that they need to begin the basics for trig and calculus in kindergarten, but rather that they are class of 2021!!
Anyway, I'll let them tell you a little bit about their morning.

Look-a-likes?

I took this picture of Brenna (my niece) this weekendAnd thought it looked kind of like my sister Tally (the only child of the five of us to have blue eyes, although you can't tell from this picture).

What do you think?
