Homes for the Kittens

We did find homes for the kittens. So it is good but a little sad. Grace especially is going to miss them..the one with the white paws she has named "Explorer" b/c he has always been an adventurous kitty:) They won't be ready to go for a few more weeks..so we'll enjoy them until then.

The "brothers" (James, David, Mike and Pat) usually play some b-ball.

Happy Easter

We all made it church (late) but we made it! Try dressing two girls in fancy dresses, stockings, shoes, doing their hair...keeping them clean till we leave. Boys are so easy! Needless to say, I didn't get any pictures of them dressed up. However, after church, we went to Grandma and Grandpa Booher's for the day. Good food, cousins to play with, easter egg hunt. What a fun day. Isaac came inside once to eat. Other than that, he was outside for about 6 hours!! Easter in CNY often means hats, gloves and a bit of shivering when you do an egg hunt. This is all the cousins with their baskets full of eggs.

My Girls

Seems most my pictures are of my girls, since they are home with me most of the time! Grace is sooo tall, I can't believe she will be 5 in May! We have started to put out some feelers for the kittens, to see if anyone wants one. In the mean time, they are great entertainment for our kids and a great experience, to see the birth, how they nurse,,when their eyes open...etc.

KITTY, KITTY, KITTY

Some more pictures of the kittens, now one week old. Anna is right there watching them, "I want to hold one, mommy!" Yikes, she might love them too much!

SPRITE HAS HER KITTENS

Last night around 12:30, our cat sprite woke us up meowing...she had three little kittens, right on our bed. So cute. She did great. Anyhow, they are all black, one has white boots and white patch on it's face. Grace is holding the first one that came out....she is THRILLED!

Syracuse storms

Our house during a December snow storm. The snow flakes were huge. The kids loved being outside in it. Grace helps James shovel, she loves chores.

Sprite, the Kitty

This is Sprite, the birthday gift that keeps on giving!!! She is now pregnant and due any day for a batch of kittens. She got out before we got her fixed and the end result....we'll see how many she has. The kids are so excited. I think my little animal lover, Grace, tells everyone she sees and would like to be woken up if she has them in the middle of the night:)

All the Grandkids (Booher side)

So, I thought I should post a pictures of the little ones on the Booher side! There are 8 under 9 years old:) They truly enjoy eachother an get along great. Chris, the oldest, has two boys, David and Ethan. Next, Rebecca, has three, Abby (same age as Isaac), Noah and Matthew. Of course, my three...they are all weeks or months apart. It does get hectic sometimes, but we hope they will grow up together and be great friends. This seems to be the case already!
