Our new addition

We have added a new addition to our household, in some respects it feels to soon but in others not. I did not realize how much life Kota brought into our house until he was gone. All last week I dreaded going home each night knowing that he would not be there. Our other animals were feeling the emptiness as well, they just didn't seem to have that spunk or energy to play, everyone was in mourning. Wayne has been very good about letting me know that there was no right or wrong time to get another kitten that whenever I was ready he would go with me and we would see what we could find. So on Saturday we went to a woman's house that runs Foothills Animal Rescue and ended up looking at about 40-50 cats. Now mind you I could NEVER have 40-50 cats in my home, but I am glad that there are people out there that do not mind that because they are saving these poor little kitties from the heat of AZ! We ended up leaving without a cat (so that we could go home and discuss the pros and cons of the different ones we had seen) Wayne had fallen in love with a little black & white kitten while I was drawn more towards a tiny 5 week old Siamese looking cat. In the end after we discussed our thoughts to each other I chose to follow Wayne's gut and go back for the little black & white kitty and I am sooo glad I did! I went and picked him up on Sunday afternoon while Wayne was working to surprise him Monday morning when he came home. This little cat is sooooo great!! The best way that I can describe him is a mixture between my 2 favorite cats. He has Josie's personality of wanting to be out and around people while he also has Kota's playful, run around the house like a crazy cat but also snuggle with my new mom & dad personality. I know that God had his reasons for Kota not being in our life anymore as hard as it has been to accept but maybe he needed to leave me so that we could save this one?! Whatever the case I feel blessed to have them both in my life! Thank you Lord for helping me find the perfect fit for my heart! :)

Now that I have rambled.... Here is our new baby!
HEMI (aptly named for the non-stop purring he makes like a hemi engine)

.......Shake N Bake........

These might be difficult to understand but we wanted to share them anyway, they kinda look like little aliens right now. LOL Baby B (aka: Bake) was being very difficult today and did not want to be photographed much. Baby A (aka: Shake) was really liking the photos and we were able to see a lot more of him or her. Everything is looking good with me and the babies! We go back for another ultrasound in 3-4 weeks. :) Baby B (aka: Bake) squishing its head and trying to hide. Baby A (aka: Shake) waving to us

Quick trip

Image
So the dogs and I made a quick trip up to Durango this past weekend to just get out of the heat and hang out at the house. Although I ended up working on the house with my mom and John it was still a very nice weekend. On Friday (after about 4 hours sleep) mom and I delivered an area rug for a client and had lunch & wandered around town with Mickie, it was a very nice day! On Saturday we ended up power washing the whole deck and going to dinner and having margarita's in Bayfield. Sunday morning we got up and after realizing that the rain might just stay away for a little while mom and I re-stained/sealed the deck While we were doing all of this John was laying stone on the three pillars in the front of the house, they turned out awesome! We then went into town and had some ice cream and watched all the bikers. It was hard to come home on Monday, the weather was soooo nice and cool, however Wayne was patiently awaiting for my return and had steaks on! Yummmm!!! Here are a...

Ultrasound Photo Updates

Image
Ok, I turned the photos sideways so that it kinda looks like they are sitting up. (Seems to be the only way my mom can tell so I thought it might help others as well) We are just shy of 24 weeks.... Only about 12 weeks left to go WooHoo!! Wow some days it just feels like it is flying by!!! Guess I better get crackin on the room! We went for a check up today and I was telling the doc that I thought baby B was just kickin up a storm, but she informed me that it could actually be either one because both of their feet are right next to each other. Baby B is definitely the one cutting off my air supply though... sitting right under my breast bone it feels like!! Baby A is sitting farther down so my bladder gets hit with that one. LOL The first photo is Baby A (Shake) I thought it was a nice profile, we had another one of a wave (always seems to be doing that!) but it was a little blurry. Second photo is Baby B (Bake) sucking a thumb!
