New Kitty

Well today we went to the animal shelter on post. We were looking for a kitty. I was told by a friend that they were better priced and sometimes have some really cute animals so we went. Michael, Cooper and I since they close at 3 and are not open on weekends, Ciarrah didn't get to help.

When we got there, we walked into the cat room, and they had about 10 to choose from. I saw a couple I really liked. But I really liked the calico looking one. At the time we didn't know age or gender. We only wanted a girl and it had to be under 1 year old. So I asked and well she was only 4 months. So they took her out, and she was missing a back paw. I felt bad for her. I asked them if it affected her when she walked, ran that sort of thing. So they put her down and she walks and runs, as if it were there. She hobbles a bit, but I didn't care. I really liked her. The lady looked hesitant to tell us about her leg, I am guessing because she has been turned away before. But I didn't care, she was a very sweet cat, and she has been in a foster home at night :)



So we decided to get her. It took about an hour or so, after the paperwork was done. We named her Kyra. We brought her home and she ran, of course. They told us that she would be a bit timid. She has been getting better as the night went on. She is alittle scared of Ciarrah, I think she moves too fast for Kyra. I am really glad that we got her, as Michael doesn't really "like" cats so well. But I think she will be a good thing for our family.

We hope everyone has a great weekend. As we will as long as it doesn't rain :)

It's Been A Long Time

I know I know...Its been a very long time since I last blogged. Things have been very busy. I haven't been on the computer much lately. But as of tomorrow Michael goes back to work and Ciarrah back to school. So that will free up alot of time for me.

We enjoyed his time with us at home. We have had a great few months with him to ourselves.
Over Christmas we went back to Nebraska. While it was fun, it was VERY cold. We got snowed-in an extra 3 days. So that meant that we couldn't head out East to see the rest of the families. But we should get leave in March so that is when we will head out that way. We had a blast while in Nebraska for Christmas. It was nice that he got to be there with us too.

Ciarrah, is doing well in school. She has about 2 days a week where she doesn't get a smiley face, so we are working on getting that corrected, ever since she went back after Christmas, thats when our problems started. Not much new with her. She is getting an attitude, but all in all, shes a great kid.

Cooper is growing into a fun kid. He still doesn't walk yet. He'll be 14 months old soon and you would think he would walk, but no not him. He would much rather crawl. He can walk, we've seen him take 5 or so steps, but he'll drop right down and crawl. He is finally eating regular food. Although no meat for him, we are taking it one step at a time with him. All in all he is doing well.

Things in Texas are great. We recently bought a new car. A 2008 Dodge Caliber. I love it. Its my car, which is nice cause its got just the right amount of space for traveling. The weather has been nice down here. It has been in the high 60's for a couple days. The rest of the week looks nice too.

Again, I apologize for the lack of blogging. But now that we are going back to normal, I will continue to blog.

I hope everyone has a great week:)
