Our Growing Family

Two weeks ago Robert and I added two new members to our little family of three.
Meet Sion and Tryndamere.

Surprised? I don't seem to be the cat type?

Well--- it started  sometime back in July.  We were grilling out and  a stray kitten wandered into our garage.  I had seen the kitten around for sometime and told Rob quite simply- I wanted it.  In a matter of crazy timing and coincidence that it would walk right into our house and stay with us.  For only about a day- until I lost it trying to take it to the vet.  Oops. Since then, I had been mentioning that I wanted a kitten.  He ignored me.  (With good reason! I had just lost the kitten he caught for me.)

So a month went by. We went to Canada, New York, New Jersey (Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana) .  Outran a hurricane, slept in our car, watched the sun rise on the Atlantic, saw a play on Broadway, came home.  A few weeks later, as I'm driving to get groceries, what do I see? A sign for free kittens.

Three hours later, we are walking home with these little guys.  Seven weeks old and undersized.  Waiting to be loved.  My intention to bring a kitten home turned into two kittens.  Because as Mr. J said- "We can't just get one, what if it gets lonely?"
