Stuff on my Cat

It's been a while since I stacked anything on Tort. I think he's missed it. : )

David Loves Tort

This is the first time

David has been strong enough to lift Tort!

Miss Kitty's (Grandma's cat) water broke last night right before bedtime! At 7:30 a.m. today, she had 3 kittens... At 8:00 she had 4 kittens... At 8:30 she had 5 kittens and stopped! All this took place in Grandma's closet in the bed we had prepared for the delivery. I'll try to get some better pictures to post later. I have been doing my best not to touch them yet, but it sure is hard!!! From what I can tell, there are 2 yellow (one with nice white accents), and 3 black (one solid black, one with white - a Helen cat, and one mostly black with some calico patches).

Pretty in Burgundy

Doesn't she look pretty in a dark color?!!

David & Tabi made it onto StuffOnMyCat.com!!!! Check it out!!!

This quote has absolutely nothing to do with my children, but is noteworthy none the less:

I'd put my money on the sun and solar energy. What a source of power! I
hope we don't have to wait until oil and coal run out before we tackle that.

- Thomas Edison, in conversation with Henry Ford and Harvey Firestone,
1931

Sounds like Thomas Edison would have bought stock in God! Huh... that's a lot more reliable than the stock market, isn't it?

P.S. - Check out our new craft blog, In Stitches!

The Last Pictures of 2006!

Mmmm... bubbles!

Mom got a little carried away with the bubble bath on Friday night. After the bath, David needed a shower to get all the bubbles off!

Perhaps I was dreaming of how nice a hot bubble bath would feel if I could actually fit in the bathtub! - Mom






I really do wish I had notice that booger hanging out of his nose before taking this picture! Other than that, I thought this was a really cute picture.

STUFF ON MY CATS:

I am not submitting these to stuffonmycat.com, but I do submit them here for your enjoyment.

I wasn't fast enough to get her when she was sitting upright in the bag. It was very cute since her collar & the bag coordinate perfectly. Just a coincidence, though. Victoria's Secret doesn't sell cat accessories. Nor do they sell maternity drawers! : )

David actually set up this stuffonmycat! See the tire tracks in Tort's fur? David did that.

Hmmm.... Can Tort actually be that fat, or was this just an unflattering camera angle for him?





Now, if you've been keeping up with my ladybug accessories, I have almost completed the diaper bag. My sister is going to help me install a zipper in the bag when she gets here. I think this will be the last thing I sew before the baby comes.

A Short Update

First of all, pray for David... he's not feeling well. If you want details, email me. The highlight of today: Hearing roosters crowing in the post office!

See highlights of our quick trip last weekend on Grandpa's Blog.

And if you haven't heard, Tort (the cat) finally got his big break on StuffOnMyCat.com! His 15 minutes of fame, plus Dad's fingers can be seen HERE.

Tabi & Dad Hit the Big Time

Probably over a month ago, I submitted a photo to Stuff on my Cat

(before the contest you all heard about). Today, I was checking the new photos that I missed while gone this weekend - low & behold - there was Dad & Tabi on the website!!!

Here's the link: STUFF ON TABI

Again, there's nothing against Tort... I've been trying to get a photo of him for the website, too, but he won't cooperate! And to follow up on the contest - Thanks to all who voted!!! Tabi did not win, but she came in 14th place out of 20 contestants! I'm happy with that - I just didn't want her to be last! : )

Update on the baby (answering questions you've asked) - She was VERY active this weekend at the Women of Faith conference! We have not yet chosen a name. According to the sonogram technician, she's due January 7, 2007, but the doctor will review the video and measurements and make the final call. I go back to see the doctor next week.

VOTE FOR TABI !!!

Tabi's photo made it into the Stuff on My Cat Back to School Contest! PLEASE GO VOTE FOR HER!!!!

VOTE HERE

The cats are featured in alphabetical order, so Tabi is at the bottom and labeled as "TAB"; the voting box is after all the photos. Here is the photo you're looking for:


She's got some good competition. Tort's photo didn't make it to the finals. Voting must be done before Tuesday!!!

Stuff On Tort, The Park & R.O.U.S.'s

I recently discovered a website called, Stuff On My Cat, which is hilarious! People submit photos of... are you ready... Stuff piled on their cats!!! I'm thinking of submitting this one:

Notice how one face looks excited & happy, while the other face looks a little perturbed?

David & Mom went to the park this afternoon. As we were walking out the door, I said, "Let's go!" and David said, "Go DaDe," with a great big grin. So we went to the fire station first!!! Mom took a picture of this footbridge at the park for OneOldMan.

The playground at the park was under remodeling or something, so we just went on the walking trail. I think the ducks & geese were expecting some food, because they kept following us!



Here is David on the bridge looking at the water & water fowl! When I took the previous picture of the birds, I was having trouble holding David back from the water! I was glad to have him contained while we were on the bridge.


Can anyone confirm what in the world these things are??? I first thought beaver, until I saw their tail... that's not a beaver tail. They were swimming around with the ducks and getting out on the banks. One got within 2 feet of us on the bank of the river!

This one is sitting on a cypress root near the bank of the river. They were only slightly afraid of us. I asked a dog walking couple we met on the bridge if they knew what they were. The girl said, "They look like R.O.U.S.'s." Having enjoyed The Princess Bride myself, I knew she meant Rodents Of Unusual Size. The guy thought they were nutria, which does look correct based on that website. (Side note, the dog walking couple had 2 dogs. One was a pug & David showed instant recognition like he thought it was Dumplin!)

A teenage boy who was throwing something from Sonic at the birds called them chinchilla, which is totally wrong! The varmints quickly swam out to where the food was being thrown when the geese started honking about it, so I guess they're used to eating that stuff, too.


There were a bunch of them out there, though, and it did make for an interesting time at the park. David really wasn't interested in them swimming, but was interested in the one on the bank.

Happy Birthday, Tia Taya!!!

Pray for Aunt Sissy, Uncle Glenn, and Cousin Lauren: They're on their way to Turkey as we speak to teach VBS to missionary's kids for a week!
