Ok, so it has been a really long time since I updated this blog. Yesterday I went through my pictures and am ready to blog the rest of last years info. It will be short but hopefully everyone can get caught up on our adventures. Last April Alyssa's class project was to write a persuasive letter to mom and dad. In the mail I received a letter pleading for a kitten, it also explained how she would care for it, pay for it, and if all failed we could give it back. (Yeah right!) For some crazy reason, we agreed. All of us went to pick out a kitten, we could not bring him home that day so Mark had to go back the next morning and get him, sweet little Max. It was so exciting for everyone, we all loved him. Eight days later, Mother's Day morning, he died. This was very traumatic for our household. We ended up replacing him with not just one, but new new kittens. Now we have an orange tabby, Sophie and another gray tabby, Sampson. Sophie is a timid and quiet kitten; Sampson it a gigantic and crazy boy, but we love them.
On July 17th Colin turned 7. All he wanted for his birthday was legos. He had a sports birthday party at the house and we set up the waterslide. Then for the next few days he did not leave the dinning room table and got all of his legos put together. He is really amazing at the dedication he has. I would have given shortly after starting.
