While we found a new home for Elli the cat on Saturday, we’ve been struggling to find a home for Toffee. I was so desperate yesterday that I called 3 shelters. 2 of the 3 said they weren’t accepting cats. I just left a message with the other one (Humane Society), where ironically we adopted …

Jude’s Quote of the Day
Jude: “Did you know that I’m half pigeon and half human?” Me: “No. Why?” Jude: “Because pigeons poop when they are scared and sometimes when I’m scared, I fart.”
Change of Plans
Today was a pretty crazy day. This morning I took Elli to meet her new owner with Asher and Levi in tow while Andy took Jude to karate. It was sad to see Elli go since I’ve had her for 14 years. After that, all 5 of us met up for a movie at the …
Jude’s Good-bye to Elli
Tomorrow is the day we have to say good-bye to Elli the cat. It’s going to be hard. I’m sending with her favorite things. Jude wrote Elli the following note: To: Elli I know you are sad that you can’t see Toffee and us. You are going to be ok. Your friend, Jude
Up, Up and Away!
We’ve got a full agenda planned for the weekend, including a hot air balloon ride (and not the kind of ride where the balloon is tethered to the ground). It’s the real thing and it’s going to be awsome. It’s something I’ve always wanted to do, but really didn’t think I’d ever get the chance. …
Bug Cereal
Little Levi got to go to Sam’s Club with us last night while Jude was at bible memory club. So, Levi got to pick out the cereal. He yelled out, “bug cereal!” I wasn’t sure what he meant until I saw him pointing at the Honey Nut Cheerios with a little bee on the front. …
Jude Votes
Tonight I took Jude with me to vote. It was a nice, educational experience for him. He pulled up a chair to stand on so he could help me fill out the ballot. The first vote we cast was for President. I asked him his opinion and I think he was confused when he saw …
Asher Slept through the Night!
For the first time ever, our 14 month old Asher slept through the night. He normally gets up at least 2 times a night and I have to feed him and put him back to sleep. Last night, he finally went to sleep at 11:35 p.m. and slept until almost 6 a.m. When he woke …
Tight Race
The Presidential race is neck and neck, even among grade schoolers. Jude’s online class voted for their favorite Presidential candidate yesterday and it was split down the middle. I look forward to taking Jude to vote with me tonight.
Widdle Wevi
This weekend at the wedding reception, I put Jude in charge of watching over Levi during the movie they put on for the kids. My sister went up to check on the boys and saw Levi running for the door. Jude jumped up (as a good big brother would do) and said, “Wevi, do you …
