Baby Shower Fun!

I've been busy, busy planning a baby shower for my good friend Vicki. We had it last week, and it all came together beautifully! If you guys are ever hosting anything, you have to check out this site. It's seriously amazing and has so many great ideas! We went with the Mod Monkey theme since the baby's nursery will be decorated in monkeys.

We had the shower at our church, so please excuse the music equipment in the background.


The "M" is for Mom, and Monkey!


Our "trees" - glass cylinders wrapped in scrapbook paper, and topped with a styrofoam ball covered in tissue paper.



Mom-to-be had lots of fun  :-)


Only 9 more weeks until we meet baby Cade!!

Did You Know?

Did you know that it is really difficult to good a good picture of a kitten that doesn't sit still and wants to chew on the camera? Well it is. Very. Difficult.

Meet the newest member of our family - Millie  :-)


She chews on everything, including my fingers.

.

But she is a total snugglebug, too.


I forgot how sweet (and destructive) new kitties are. And funny. Oh so funny.

She wants to sleep on top of us. Literally. I assume it's because we are warm, since neither of us sleeps in a shirt, but she does her very best to cuddle at night. Last night, she draped her entire body across my neck and started purring. After insisting that Josh roll over to witness this cuteness, of course I had to move her. So then she kept trying to cuddle on my chest, but she had a hard time getting comfortable on my...eh hem...hilly bits. She settled for right in between us, stretched out so her front feet were touching me and her back feet were touching Josh.

We have learned a few valuable lessons this week:
  • We cannot leap off of the second story balcony onto the tile below (oh yes, she did)
  •  We do not play in the litter box
  • The clicking that results from my typing on the laptop does not mean that we go insanely crazy and must play,play,play RIGHTNOW
  • 4 AM is not when we wake up
Obviously there is much to be learned. She is adjusting well though, and we are completely and totally in love with this 2 pounds of crazy!
