Here Kitty Kitty

Aurora *loves* animals. She gets so excited when she sees one, starts yelling and talking and waving her arms excitedly. She loves to grab, chew, yank, and drool on any animal that will let her. Our crazy kitty loves the attention and puts up with her quite well (Gavin trained her afterall!)

She likes to join us for a little manhandling during storytime


Yummy kitty!

After his auntie's heart

Just in case she wasn't smitten enough with him already, here is a boy after his auntie's heart.

Contemplating his strategy

Hmmm....I think I'll move the queen first

What?!? You don't say...well then, I guess I'll just have to knock as many over as I can :)

Frosty

Gavin has been talking about building a snowman all fall. We've been eagerly watching the snow line make its slow way down the mountain in anticipation of this event. Being Juneau, the snow didn't last long but before it melted away, I made sure to take him out back and build a snowman with (for?) him.

He spent most of the time trying to eat snow.


That is when he wasn't busy trying to knock down our friend, Frosty


Unfortunately, it only lasted a day before it started raining. Now Gavin asks us daily "Whaahappen to my snoooowman?" "What happened, Gavin?" "It fell apart" Ahhh well. The first of many :)

Happy Thanksgiving!

We had a wonderful Thanksgiving. Gavin especially loved the rolls, which he helped Mama make. We made the dough on Wednesday night and when I asked if he wanted to help me roll them on Thursday he said happily "And put the eggs in, and the sugar!"


Grandma and Pa came over and we had a wonderful time. Aurora got to have some yummy sweet potatoes, although she wasn't so sure about it at first...



She decided it was pretty good afterall


Gavin's favorite part of dinner

Delighted

I was blessed with Juan (and his son, John - so nice to meet him in person)'s company for an hour last weekend at Kaladi Brother's Marty's. Little Miss Rora was a bit tired and she retired to her carrier where she sang herself to sleep oh so sweetly, if a bit loudly :) But not before enjoying some of Juan's company herself. Thank you for coming into town to visit us. Next time we'll have to come out to Chalupy.

Heading Home

No posts lately - been on the road. Up to the cold, cold North. For work, plus a little shopping :) Aurora and I sure miss Daddy and Brother, but we're headed home soon and will have lots of pics to share with everybody...
