The Nana Newbie Hoist

As everyone gathered for Nana to head home Newbie wanted her to pick her up, so she did her best.

She’s a bit heavier than previously huh Nana? 😉

Front Step Photo Op

We don’t have the opportunity for a family photo very often.

While visiting for the 4th of July we took advantage of some extra family being present to get a couple of shots of the lot of us.

Thunderer’s patience for the pictures quickly waned…

But at least we got one good shot… right? 🙂

Taking a Seat

Thunderer somehow managed to get her little rump stuck in this chair. While Redflare ran for a screwdriver Little Miss was able to get a shot of the angry little explorer.

Afterward Little Miss helped Redflare by putting the chair back together while Redflare consoled our angry Thunderer.

Big Red’s Closeup (Kittens!)

This cute little kitten, Red, is probably the other clan favorite.

The red splotches of fur, specifically the one on top of her head, make her very distinctive compared to her siblings.

25 Years – Throwback Thursday Part 2

Let’s fast forward now as we celebrate week 2 of twenty five years of knowing each other.

Naturally, we got married January 26, 2002. She turned 18 a week before and the state requirement is that you need a few days to wait, so we waited for the next weekend.

I picked the date, but there in her diary we found later she had dreamed of this exact date (not the year) that would be her wedding day.

Miss Cupcake (Kittens!)

I’m not at all sure where the inspiration for most of their names came from, but this one has been dubbed “Miss Cupcake”.

I suppose she is small enough to fit in a cupcake tray spot.

Playtime! (Kittens)

So after a closeup, it’s time to see what the siblings are getting into…

THEY’RE EVERYWHERE!

Ready For My Closeup (Kitten)

Just look at those piercing blue eyes!

It’s harder to get a picture of a black cat than you’d think (unless you’ve tried).

This is one of our first best shots of him.

Where’s Mom?

The kittens weren’t getting out of the box successfully yet, but they could stand up at the edge of the box and ask where Mommy Grey went.

18 Months!

Okay, so she’s not actually 18 months at the time I’m posting this, but here’s our Thunderer at 18 months.
