The first is in our house. His name is Izzy and he joined us at Halloween. He is DS2's cat, technically, and reminds us of our orange tomcat we lost in the summer of 2013. He spent the first few weeks sleeping in DS2's room at night, to give our Maine Coone a bit of a break. She is not thrilled about the new arrival, though it's getting better slowly.
DS1's face lit up when he came home, to find this new addition to the family. I think that the kitten is the best present he could have had. He and his girlfriend have been spending a lot of time playing with Izzy.
My boys have never had a kitten in the house. Of the three cats we have had since the boys were born, they all were grown and strays when they came into our lives. It's fun watching the boys learn what a kitten means: sharp teeth, little claws, limitless energy, cute meows and fishing him out of the Christmas tree :-)
The other pitter patter comes from 2 new babies. My niece had twin girls (not identical) on Friday, December 19th. They were 5 weeks early and are still in neonatal care. They were each a little over 5lbs. She had a tough go of labour as the twins were side by side and neither was willing to shift to let someone out. Their names are Kate and Kara. I don't have any pics of just the two of them yet, but hopefully soon. I am hoping to get into the city to see them at the hospital after the 28th. My cold and flu needs to be 100% gone.
That brings our family number to 7 great grandchildren for mom and dad. 5 girls and 2 boys.
My house is quiet right now. Just me and Izzy are up. DH and the three kids are all still asleep. I have the lights of the tree on and am watching HGTV and sipping some coffee with a tiny bit of baileys.
