{We've been adopted}

This sweet little stray kitty has adopted us! She definitely didn't do a background check, because we've never had a "real" pet before -- only fishies and a hermit crab (we found Mr. Crabs on the beach in Puerto Rico, than Santa brought him back to Utah for us). In fact, I'm thirty years old and I've never had a "real" pet, either. Sad, but true. Maybe Cookie can be my therapy kitty.




We talked Todd into letting us keep her, and she is totally spoiled. Caroline spends every waking moment she's not at school torturing *ahem* I mean loving up Cookie.


And whenever she manages to escape Caroline, Elizabeth is there to rescue her. I'm not sure who's more in love.


She swears Cookie LOVES to swing.


Cookie is an outside kitty (I want a mouser!), but that doesn't stop Caroline from giving her a little peek inside at what's she's missing.

What a cute cat! I love the green eyes. She seems so chill. Our cat has two personalities, "nice" and "bite your arm off". It makes for a less than perfect relationship with the kids. Enjoy the kitty, I loved my cats that I grew up with!

Your kids get prettier and prettier every day. It is nice that you let them have a kitten... my kids have been asking for another cat since Ixta die. My answer is always NO! :o)

LUCKIEST CAT IN THE UNIVERSE!!!!! If only i were a kitten who had my every whim met by your awesomely adorable kids... oh and swung, i'd love to be swung all day long!

ps. i would totally suck at being your cat though... i'm not good at catching mice.

pss. and i'm not good at just peeking inside for a glimpse of what Could Be.

psss. what the crap am i doing? i'm truly imagining myself as your cat.

pssss. i'm tired!

psssss. but seriously... Mr. Crabs is the COOLEST name for a pet. Especially a hermit crab... but i'd also call my dog that too. Cuz it's awesome!

Cookie looks good enough to eat. Well, not really eat, but you know what I mean.
p.s. Your girls are always so well coiffed. Muy bien.
