Miss Kitty

 My little brother and his wife had their first baby on Friday.  I am so excited to meet little Owen Peter Larsen! With the arrival of sweet baby boy, I got baby hungry.  BAD.  So what does a sane woman do when she get's baby hungry?  She takes her kids to the pet store to get a hampster.  It can not be considered her fault if on that very same day the Humane Society happens to be at said pet store with baby kitties who need to be loved.
We got a cat.  So far we only call her "Miss Kitty" because we can't agree on a name.  She  was so sweet at the pet store-- snuggly and playful.  The kids LOVE her!!!  But poor Jane is allergic, we think.  Her eyes are watering and her nose is running but she refuses to put that kitty down.  Grant, bless his heart, loves the kitty too, but he doesn't know how to play gently.   We will really have to work on that.  Even Trent is ok with the cat.  It's taken him 7 years to warm up to the idea but he finally gave in (he figured I'd need a buddy to keep me company when he is away at clinicals)  Welcome to the family, Miss Kitty!
notice the snot stains on Jane's shirt.  Her nose is running but she's not letting that cat go!

A kitty!!!!!!! How fun! Annie would love a cat, but me, Dallas and Will are all allergic. Poor Jane. Maybe it'll get better???

And you- baby hungry? I don't believe it.

The good news is, she may be able to build an immunity to Miss Kitty's allergens. Caleb is a allergic to kitties, but Hammy does not bug him anymore. So hopefully with time that will subside.

I love you Whit!
