Here Kitty, kitty, kitty, kitty!

We brought home a couple of kittens from the cabin. Zack picked out an orange one because it looks like Cooper (his grandparents golden retriever). Cooper's now 6 months old!

Since I'm not positive of the gender of the kittens, I wanted to come up with some neutral namesHere is Salfy (for Salt Fork) and Zack snoozingand here's Mosby where Emily has decided he(or she) needs to be at the moment.

Just Zack!

Zack has been busy the past couple weeks.
-He was the Star Student for his preschool class recently.

The poster tells about his favorite color, food, etc.

and that he wants to be a UPS man when he grows up!

-He made some new friends at the cabin!

There are 5 kittens in this liter and all of them were so tolerant of Zack & Emily's manhandling which was impressive since they haven't had much human contact.

-He turned 5 and a HALF!

He's been on a kick lately that he doesn't want his birthday to be at the end of the year, he wants it to be first, etc. etc. so on May 18th, we celebrated him turning 5 1/2. We brought some cupcakes to the park to share with our friends.

-And he graduated from Preschool!
The ceremony was nice, the whole graduating class sang songs in the church, then went to the social halls to receive their diplomas from their teachers.

Bear

We sadly started off the New Year with the loss of a furry friend, Greg's parents golden retriever.

Here's he is on Christmas Day

and a few weeks prior watching Zack romp around in the snow.

Thanks for warming our hearts, we'll miss you Bear!
