Four little dinosaurs Rafting down the river!












Everyone survived, but Neal did not trust the integrity of our boat at all! He instructed us, next time we go, to drop him off at grandma's! :) Believe it or not, it was my (mom's) idea to do this. I tell you, I'm tougher than my 3 boys sometimes. Just sometimes.



We've added another creature to the mix.





Her name is Catnip, although Neal thinks it's Catlip. She is seven years old and used to live in Olympia. We got her through Craigslist. She had never been around dogs, so she spent her first 3 days under the bed in our bedroom. Now she comes out to explore yet still spends most of the time lounging in our room, on top of the bed. The plan in the long run is to make the kitty hang out with Neal, but it's taking her a while to het used to him. She is very fluffy and soft, and we love her already.
Mūsu jauno kaķenīti sauc Kaķu mētra, Nils gan to izrunā kā "Kaķa lūpa" :) Viņai ir 7 gadiņi, mēs viņu atradām, atsaucoties uz sludinājumu internetā. Lielākais kaķumīlis mums ir Nils, bet kaķenīte vēl nav īsti pie viņa pieradusi. Viņa ir ļoti mīksta un pūkaina, un mēs jau esam viņu iemīlējuši. Pirmās trīs dienas viņa slēpās zem gultas, jo baidījās no suņa, bet tagad jau palikusi drosmīgāka, kaut ir krietni slinka resnīte un pārsvarā gulšņā pa mūsu gultu. :)
