A Personal Note

 

Hi there. I hope you are doing well. It has been a busy week. Snickers our cat, finally had her kittens on the morning of the 3rd. I got to watch them all be born and she did a great job. There are six total. Of course she chose to have them in the dirt instead of the nice box with blankets we made her. Go figure! We have since given them a nice rug to lay on. Here they are a few hours old. Sorry the top little guy’s head got cut off. It was kind of dark and I couldn’t see through the camera well enough to tell if they were in the frame or not…

 

 

Matt is out of town this week so it is me and the boys. It’s my birthday on Wednesday as well – so a big week! Next week we are on vacation (I have no idea what we are doing for that yet…) and then the following week school starts! Busy Busy.

It has finally cooled down a bit here after so many warm (okay HOT) days. Yesterday evening it was 73 and it felt so nice!

 

Take Care!

 

Christine
