Tough few months

As some of you have heard, Mamaw died on August 12th.  She was buried 4 months to the day (August 16th) of Papaw.  Mom has had a very tough year and I hope you will keep her in your thoughts and prayers as she finally gets to mourn the loss of her parents.  Mom, I love you.

First Day of School

YEA!  School's back in session!  Here is our yearly 1st day of school picture!  Can't believe they're in 7th and 8th grade! 

We've got babies!

So I know you're not supposed to, but after Captain died we started to feed a pure white wild female cat that hangs around our neighborhood.  We noticed that although she kept quite skinny, her belly began to sag more and more.  Well guess what...she had babies.  Not only that, she was keeping them behind our fence in the storm drain (which floods whenever there's a good rain). 

Well of course we couldn't leave them there so we now have 5 kittens in our garage - probably 4-5 weeks old.  We're using Sarah's crate (since daddy thinks she's a big girl now and doesn't need one anymore).  They seem to be very happy.  We've given them baths, used the flea comb on them (will have to do that again), and feed them every four hours.  We're going to spend quite a bit on kitten formula I can tell, and that stuff ain't cheap!

Anyone want a kitten!?
