We Have an Annoucement...

We have 5 new additions to our "7 Family." On Friday, March 20th (the first day of Spring), our cat Kallie had baby kittens. There are five of them - 2 black ones, 1 cream one, 1 orange/brown one, and 1 gray one. They are absolutely beautiful animals. I wish we could keep every one of them. Kallie has been such a good mom. She is very protective of her babies. She is okay with Nick and I being in near her. But, if the kids come in she scoops them all in and puts herself over them so that they are safe. It is fun to watch.
We were shocked when we went out to feed animals before bed and her little baby meows. We had to search for a while to find her, but she had given birth in an old carseat we had in the garage. Needless to say we will be throwing that carseat away. We didn't even really know she was pregnant. I had mentioned to Nick a couple of times that I thought she looked big and was suspecting she might be pregnant. I guess I should have investigated further.
Anyway, here is our newest...



...not what you thought was it??? ;)

The Crew

Some days I just look at my kids and ... well, just look. They are such amazing little people. I just hope I don't mess them up too badly. I have been blessed with the kind of children I am sure some must dream of having. Wow!! Don't get me wrong, there are those days. But, I guess I am just grateful for the people that they are and how hard they try to be good. LUCKY ME!!

Bryant's Staples

As requested, here is a shot of Bryant's staples. It was hard to get a good picture, so...

Our doctor was great with Bryant. He took them out and then went and got a tongue depressor and taped them to that so that Bry could keep them and show his friends. Bryant said it didn't really hurt coming out. I can't imagine that, but that is what he said. FUN, FUN!!

Swimming

I finally got to spend a few minutes with the older kids. So, we all went swimming. We had a great time - as you can see. I have decided that my kids are waterbugs - they love to be in the water (I guess I have known that for a while).
