A New Family Member!

Nah, not pregnant...but this week, we got the next best thing:




Meet our new kitten, Macy!

She is 2 lbs. of adorable fun - we adopted her from the Humane Society on Thursday, and she has already brought such JOY to our home!



If you know me in real life...you will know that I have long-maintained a "no pet policy" in our home. Don't get me wrong...I love animals! My parents have 2 of the sweetest golden retrievers, and I love them...I just don't want to take care of them. But, as often happens...my kids wore me down. And my husband caved. And really, they deserve to experience growing up with a pet. Since we had cats when I was growing up, I figured that would be the best (read: low maintenance) pet for us.

We spent the last week searching for the perfect kitten for us - we went to the pound, and multiple Humane Society locations until we found Macy - a 7-week old little furball. She is SO much fun - and tolerates the kids handling her and playing with her so well.

Don't tell anyone, but I've never seen my husband so googly-eyed over another living thing...I even think he wasn't this crazy about our kids when they were babies!

So that has been keeping us busy! She has been a great addition to our home, and I am so happy we have her.

  1. Congrats!!! Kittens are so much fun! Macy is super cute!

    We have two cats and a dog. The cats are significantly less work than the dog, and they bring just as much joy to the family. You went with a good pet choice! (Can you tell I'm a cat person? :) )
