Another fuzz-ball
Saturday, December 12th 2009 - 11:29 pm by Aaron
Things were getting a little dull around here with only 2 kids, a dog, and a bird; so we figured the best solution was to get a cat.
His mommy was killed, and he was going to become a barn-kitty. Now he spends his days lusting after the bird and generally making a nuisance of himself.
He gets along with everyone except the bird (and sometimes mommy and daddy). Well, the kids don’t like it when he chews on them—especially when they were sleeping.
You might notice a couple of places his claws dug into my face in the previous picture. The one on my forehead happened about 3:00a.m. while I was trying to sleep. He tried to use my head as a step-stool so he could play with the cord on the blinds above the bead, and his claw got stuck in my face—I was not happy.
Meanwhile, the kids are getting along very well together. Abby loves her big brother. She also loves food now. She didn’t know what to make of it at first, though.

Woohoo! An update! I look forward to these so much, you have no idea. Your family is growing up so fast. Christian looks so much like a little man now. Abby is beautiful and looks a lot like her mother. I hope your Christmas was enjoyable.

Woohoo! A comment! Believe it or not, WE look forward to THOSE! :)
Sorry about the sparse updates—I’ll try to do better. It’s a new-year’s resolution. Which, of course, means I’ll do better till about January 3rd. But, since that’s already past, don’t get your hopes up. ;) Maybe when I get caught up on laundry and dishes and the myriad other things I’m behind on…?
Meanwhile—where are the pics of your little girl?

I have a whole new respect for parents. Having a child quadruples one’s work load. I can’t imagine how my mother handled five.
I don’t have a lot of pics of my daughter on my computer right now. Most of them are on my wife’s computer. I have a few loaded on my Facebook account if you’re on FB. In the meantime, I’ll send you what I have.
She just had her 2 month checkup, and she’s bigger than my wife and I thought. She is also smiling and cooing now. We are now able to have a conversation! Sort of.

I love kids.
They’re a lot of work, but they are definitely worth it. They say that once you have three, having more isn’t really any more trouble.
Abby has begun taking the occasional steps, and Christian has just begun his potty-training. It is unbelievable how fun it is to sit in the bathroom for 40 minutes waiting for your toddler to do nothing–only to have him do something 5 minutes after he comes out.
