Sadly as we prepare to welcome a new member to our family we must say good-bye to another. On Friday Smudge was hit by a car and killed. It appears as she was crossing Hwy 64, she was struck and instantly killed. All the children seem to be taking it reasonably well, each as their personalties and age has allowed. Smudge will be missed she was easily our most loving cat even if she would not get into your lap. All the cats seemed to like her, mostly though Starlight will miss her. Smudge often brought him things to eat, especially when he was having problems moving. She was an excellent and very patient mother cat who never failed to allow us to hold and play with her kittens. She will be missed.
Naya- Scared us all this week. She has finally decided she is too big for pacifiers. As a result of unplugging her mouth all kinds of words came out. The most surprising was she can name the presidential candidates on sight. That's right she can tell you who Barrack Obama and John McCain are. If ask her who you should vote for she will say Barrack Obama and then launch into why in Nayaesse, so I can't tell you why. We are not sure if we agree with her either, but if you are undecided still maybe Naya's opinoin can help even if you don't know why.
Fionna- Had a very confusing week. Wednesday was a teacher in-service day as a result she had issues all week over which day of the week it is. Poor girl.
Dreigan-The pack went to the Ren Faire in Farmington. It was there he saw Dextin (bio-dad) for the first time in six weeks. He was suppose to spend Sunday with Dreigan but stood him up of course.
Christi- Had in-service at work and won the contest where she could name more policies and procedures than anyone else in children's services. She also enjoyed keeping all of you wondering all week about the baby.
Nick-Says he has nothing to say at all as usual. He is so uncooperative.
Donna-Has declared she hates children's messes. Coming in late from work the other night she tripped and fell on a book the kids left out and hurt her leg. Luckily she just bruised it really bad and did not fracture it.
Baby- It is a health little girl. That's right we are expecting our third little girl. Guess Nick gets to one of those big burly guys with a slew of little girls.

I was right! For once! :) We're sorry about your kitty. And Naya, Obama? I don't know what to say.
We are sorry about Smudge, also. Loosing a pet is a hard part of life. We are proud of Naya giving up her pacifier! We are impressed with her having political opinions so young. Congratulations on a baby girl. Poor Nick and Dreigan will have to do "guy things" once in a while to get a breather from estrogen overload. Wow, over half way through the pregancy already.
I'm so sorry about dear Smudge. Sad things do happen, unfortunately. She had a good life with you. I loved it that Naya is politically observant, and not yet 3 years old. Wow. My guess on the baby was wrong. How lovely it will be to have 3 little girls. But D. needs company, too, as Grandmother said. Love your blog. Thanks for keeping it up so well. I feel connected with you all. Hope Donna is doing better. Hi to all.
Congratulations on the little girl. I was sure you guys would have a boy this time.
Naya crakcs me up about her political thoughts. Too funny.
