Introducing...

...the newest members of our family:

Lord help me, we've added not one but TWO kittens that are just 1-2 months old. I guess managing two children under five, starting potty-training with my daughter and trying to keep up with things like laundry and grocery shopping (not to mention sewing and crafting!) just wasn't quite enough.

This is Girl Kitty, proudly named by my two year old. She's feisty and has tons o' spunk. But she's also battling a pretty intense upper respiratory infection (kitty cat cold), so please think happy thoughts for her.

This is Little John, named by my four year old. He is a total cuddlebug and the sweetest little fella. I love the tufts of hair coming out of his ears. He looks like a feline elf.

They're both still getting used to their new digs and have discovered that the wine rack is a pretty cool hideout.

Oh, and by some MIRACLE, they both already know how to use a litter box. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

Both kitties were adopted from the Oregon Humane Society. If you get the chance to invite a pet into your life, please check out all the wonderful animals available in this and other shelters.
