"Our OUTSIDE cat"

After many years of telling the kids "no more pets" two dogs and a cat is enough, Andrew thought he would be sneaky and showed up late one night with a kitten. He assured me that "Bob" would be an outside cat, mainly because he had never been around people and was scared to death of everyone. Well, as you can see it only took a couple of weeks for Bob to feel right at home.



Morgan has had a hard time with her sisters going to school, she liked having someone to play with. She has improvised very well, Bob has become her little baby. He lets her drag him all over the house it is very cute, in this picture he has a pillow and is covered up with one of Tanner's receiving blankets. She is very proud of herself.

A Sad Night!!

Night has fallen and all are sound asleep. So you might be wondering what is so sad about that. Usually, I am happy when everyone is asleep. Tonight though, as I walk into my room and look at Tanner's bassinet this is what I see, an empty bed (don't worry he's fine.) Tanner has outgrown his bassinet--a couple of pounds ago, I finally gave in and put him in his big crib in the other room. Sigh!! So Sad!!

See how sweet and peaceful he looks sleeping in the big crib. So why is it so hard when you know it's the last one to let them grow up? I have never been one to dwell on milestones with the other kids, I just enjoy each stage as it happens and TRY to enjoy it ALL. I can already tell it is not going to be as easy with Tanner. I love the baby stage and he has been such a joy. For the most part he is a very happy baby.
He started sleeping for eight hours straight at night around eight weeks, so he really could of gone in his own room months ago. I just liked knowing he was right next to me. Besides, look how darn cute his bassinet is!! I loved it and hate that he is done with it. My other problem with putting Tanner in his crib is that Morgan was still sleeping it it. After her birthday though, she must of decided that she was too big for a crib and has refused to sleep in it. She has done alot of bed hopping and her favorite place is my bed. I'm not sure if there is enough room in that bed for me tonight. LOL!! Wish me luck in finding Morgan a bed I like and soon!!
