We’ve temporarily named the kit “Bo” after my teddy bear. I always told Tom I was going to name my firstborn child after Bo Bear, but he thought this was a better alternative. Updates: Cat: Only hisses when he hears or sees Bo in the study. Otherwise he’s back to normal- eating, hanging out, and [...]

I’m a bad mom- I totally wasn’t home for these days in Cat and Kit’s life. I spent it in Pine Level turning some of our home movies into iTunes movies (my dad got an apple TV). We spent most of the evening last night watching birthday parties from the 80′s. He then wanted to [...]

Yesterday I was at home most of the day so I could keep Kit company, but today we were out of the house a lot installing/playing with Lion (our internet was being super slow today). Kit has learned, as Cat quickly did, that the best way to get our attention is to get between us [...]

I spent my morning in divided time between hanging out with Cat and hanging out with Kit (still nameless). Tom’s smitten with the kitten, and has even let him commence shredding on one of his stuffed particles (the Tachyon to be exact). Kit had found a heavier particle on his desk (roughly twice the weight [...]

We decided to get a friend for Cat. Right now he’s called “Little Cat,” “Kit,” or “Cat.2″ but I’m pretty sure he’ll get some sort of name eventually. I’ve read a thousand posts about how to introduce cats to one another, and all of them say the same thing: 1) Separate Rooms 2) Swap Scents [...]
Summer Break

Every year around this time, I hear the same thing. ”Ah Summer Break. Must be nice being a teacher.” Yes, yes it is. Summer break is convenient, an excellent time to catch up on cleaning, organizing, getting oil changes, and exercising. It’s pleasant because I can spend every afternoon at the pool if I want, [...]
A year in 100 words

I know this should be one of those posts where I catch you up on the changes over the last year (woah prepositions!), but I don’t summarize well. I’m better with lists (then we can move on) 1- Coached Soccer (and passed the written part of the bus driver test) 2- Got a nephew (WAM- [...]
