Elise's cast

Well, I am in Troy and playing around on my Dad's computer, which has some picture of my kids on it. I am trying to put a picture on here. Let's see if it works! Here is Elise back in Sept. with her cast. See an August post (I think) for the story of her broken arm. She was so proud of that "fiberglass cast."

Huckleberry Finn

We have a new kitten! We got him about 4 weeks ago from the Humane Sociey. Stu did end up being very ill with feline leukemia and had to be put to sleep. That was very sad and the kids wanted a new kitty right away to make them happy again. I thought that was a good idea, and sooner rather than later to have things settled again by the time the baby arrives. We named our kitty Huckleberry Finn (because we live on Sawyer St.). He has many nicknames already. I call him Little Huck, mostly, and JJ calls him Hockey Puck. He is a very good kitten. Bella is still not too happy with him, but it gets better every day. He sleeps well at night and is a good eater. Yeah, it is almost like having a very self-reliant baby in some ways. He needs to learn not to jump onto the table or climb the back of my robe. Elise likes to carry him around in a a little tote bag she has, and JJ loves playing with him with string. He is buff colored, a very pretty kitty.
