My cousin's son (my second cousin) and his wife have a new baby girl. She was born a little early, but is strong and healthy enough to be home in her own crib. I am so happy for them.
She is a lucky little girl, too, because she has lots of siblings to play with. They are the fur kind, and by the looks of things, they are super excited to have her join their pack. I just know they will be protective and loving toward their baby sister. And Mom and Dad will make sure they're one big happy family.
The deck is finished and, because today has been a gorgeous one, we opened the patio doors and windows and let the cats explore. It's been awhile since they were allowed out, so they were super excited.
I was afraid someone was going into the pool during a game of Tag. Dash and Boo! are pretending to find live things - trust me there are none. At one point, Finn did a crab walk which cracked me up. I thought there was something wrong with him as I watched him run sideways across the deck.
Andy made an interesting observation this morning. He was watching Boo! give me lots of kisses and hugs and he said, "Look at her trying to curry favor. She thinks you won't get mad at her now, when she does something bad!" At that moment, Dash came over and looked at Boo! with a sideways glance. Andy said, "He's thinking, 'You're not falling for this (bleep) are you?' "
Well, I don't care why Boo! loves me - all I know is she does and I will take as much as she gives. I have to say, it does soften the blow a bit when she gets into trouble.

Like I said - all of the cats were on the porch - that was until I decided to open the window in front of my desk. Before I got it the whole way open, Finn appeared out of nowhere and stepped on my keyboard. I left the evidence.
How do they know what I'm going to do - sometimes before I know myself? They're multiplying, too. There are now three cats pushing each other out of the way so they can get the best seat on the window sill. The front of the house is so much more interesting than the back, don't you know...
One final note - today is the birthday of a very dear friend. He has talked me off the ledge a few times over the past twenty five years. And, he is the one who pretty much insists I see life as one long, hilarious journey - instead of a dark and stormy road. Everyone needs a friend like that...
