New Additions

This past weekend we added 2 new members to our family. Blake's teacher, Ms. Falkner, had some kittens that she was looking for some new homes for. We told her that we would gladly take 2 kittens when they were ready to leave their mommy. Friday was the big day. We drove to Blake's school to pick them up. Blake's kitten (striped male one) is named Stripes (Stripe for short), and Bennett's kitten (white female calico) is named Chocolate Chip (Chocolate for short.) The first few days we kept them in a makeshift pen in the garage when we weren't with them. By Sunday they were staying around the yard even when we were inside. Hopefully they will catch some mice for us in the years to come! The boys have really enjoyed watching them wrestle, just like they do:)! The kittens have also mastered climbing the screen door on our deck (see picture). We might have to do something about that :)
