They're HERE!!!

The kitties have landed... this place is a zoo! Last night was such a blast... Tim and I went to pick "the boys" up as Aunt Mel watched "the girls". The boys and girls met each other at the front door with much excitement and giggles..... there has been a lot of hugging and chasing and a few scratches.... but mostly love. They played for a few hours until Claire pooped out and fell asleep. Then Mary Kate cried because she "loves her kitty so much and just wants him to sleep in my bed"... she just didn't understand that they cats we're ready for hugging all night.

The boys and I had a long night... interesting how Tim is conveniently hunting..... it was like having an infant in the house again. I'm exhausted.. but it was worth it... they are sooo sweet. Lemiuex is the white and black "Big Man"... he is much bigger than his brother. He is a cuddle bug and loves to purr at night. But he is very cautious. I would be if Claire was my keeper!

Shy... is also very sweet. He is a black and gray tiger... a little guy... a bit runtish. He purrs a lot, and he adores Mary. They are both really enjoying the discovery of the house and the fun to be had with all the "stuff".

Both have a 'shadowy" eye. Their entire litter did. They've been to a cat eye specialist... who knew... and they're sight is fine. We'll go and have them checked out next week.

Tim seemed... well. Thrilled. If he had his choice they would be big dogs! But that is not going to happen right now. A few months ago, I bitten by a friend's dog and have been a little skittish ever since. Trips to PetSmart are a little interesting... I'm sure I'll get over it... I'd prefer a little tea cup poodle... Tim would like a huge hunting dog.... someday we'll agree.

What an awesome relaxing Saturday am we are having... the girls aren't fighting... they are kitty following. I am in my office checking email and listening to my awesome new Christmas CDs... Casting Crowns sophomore effort, " Lifesong"... So far, not as good as the first.. .but good... love their music. And Sugarland's debut "Twice the Speed of Life"... that is really good ... I need to see if their Unplugged with BonJovi is available. Good music, good coffee, happy girls in their new house... pretty purrr-fect!

Thanks to Aunt Mel and Grandma Karen for being our first kitty visitors and of course to Aunt Robbie and Aunt Gracie for the idea, the fun and all the help.. You were right... they love it!
