WE'RE GOING TO JAPAN!

We will be leaving this month for
Fussa, Japan which is in Toyko.
This will be our last post until we get there!

A Quick Visit

E. wanted to hold G. so of course we had to get
a picture of it...sounds easy enough to catch a
really cute moment....

...showing E. how to hold G. up

...there it is "Take the picture!"

"oh, the flash!"
(oh well, they're still really cute!)

J. was obviously more thrilled about seeing and
holding G. than the G. was about J.....G. wanted to get
back down to E. level to see what he was up too!

he obviously had something to say

G. obviously thinks his mommy and J. are
a bit entertaining :~)

"what's that light that keeps flashing at me?"

Proud Mama with G.

it's obvious where G. is happiest :~D

he's just too cute!

time to go home, we've done our job and
tuckered him out! :~)
(It should be noted that D. was the photographer
so he did not make it into any of the pictures.)

Kitten Update...

Soon the kittens will be leaving us so we thought,
we'd post their pics while we could :~)

Do I smell garlic?

October or July?

Playing in the leaves ~ shorts, barefoot, and HOT!!

Gone Fishin'

Papaw showing E. how it's done.
(D. appears to be focusing in on something back there!)

Everyone just being patient and waiting....
not something mommy could do very well!

E. caught something - look at that pole bend!
Can you see it D.?

Way to E.! 2.5lbs and 19" long!
(E. says, "I do it! I got whale! I do it!")

Fishin' like a pro ~ pole's bending 'cause he's
got something big, but
D.'s still calm, cool, and relaxed!

Check it out...3lbs. and 20"!!

He's so cool ~ he don't even hold his own fish!
(hmmm, cool or just don't like them scales?! heehee)

Finally, Papaw, the fisherman coach/mentor/wormer/de-hook'er
gets a chance to catch one for himself!

Newest Nephew

A picture speaks a thousand words!

New Addition to Our Family

September 9, 2007 by 11:00pm the first 2 were born

By the next morning, all 4 of them were here!

At 5 days old, they've tuckered poor mama out!

18 days old
(the 5th "child" is a toy otter that mama cat has carried around,
since she was big enough to do so, as if it was her own kitten and has
continued to ensure that it stays as near to her as the other babies!)

and well, this one was just too cute not too post!
