Spring dreams

I am so ready for spring.

For all those "flowers" that will be picked and given to me by my children.

Sometimes it seems like a lifetime since we've seen each other.

Yeah, son. Mama feels this way too.

Happy V-Day!

Kate's first Valentine card for me. I helped her make it, but she cut out the heart herself and also did the sprinkles herself. I was so proud of her, and she was proud, too!

My sweet girl!

Birthday pics that didn't show up below...

Our snow day!

Disclaimer... The snow man was made by our neighbors! The kids got too cold and didn't want to stay out long enough to build one for us. Maybe next time... The snow cat on the lower right was at the clinic.

Kate turns 5 years old!

It is so hard to believe that Kate is 5 years old. I remember people telling me that when she was born, "you are going to blink your eyes and turn around, and she'll be 5 years old!" And, now she is! We had a fun birthday party today - the girls played pop the balloons, which were filled with candy (our pinata substitute) and had hot dogs, cake and ice cream after opening presents.

Our new aquisition

This is Corduroy. He is the kitten I blogged about with the congenital eye defect. He is such a nice kitten that we have decided to make him our own. He is such a sweet cat! Purrs like a truck. And, he is quite the snuggler. The best is he is a hemingway cat. This isn't a breed, but a hereditary trait. He has extra toes (3 on each front foot and 1 on each back foot) making 24 in all!

Don't worry about the purple nails... I didn't paint them. They are soft paws that I placed to make sure that he isn't destroying the furniture until we decide that he will work out at our house. If he does (which he will!), I will declaw him later.

He does have some strange ear issues that I am working on diagnosing... I am thinking at this point it is food allergy. He is just a fantastic addition to the Busby household!

OH - and how can I forget! The kids can't say "Corduroy" and have been calling him "Quarter-boy". It is so cute. Technically, he is only 1 toe away from 25 toes... so what's another? :)

Sleep over!

The kids make a sleep palate in the living room today. It was quite cute. Brooks even joined in on the action! And, Kate had to have "Quarter-boy" sleeping with her....
