Mac the Cat

We just got a kitten. It is the cutest thing. Ian has been asking for a pet of his own for a while. We were thinking probably like a gerbil or a hamster or something, but no, a kitten. I think this might be the most loved kitty of all time. We'll see if the enthusiasm wears off after a bit but so far... wow. Mac is very cuddly and lovable, not things I usually think of in a cat. Usually Carol's allergies would have prohibited it, but she so wanted to please the kids that she played with Mac in the store a while to see if he would bother her as some cats do while other cats do not. So far, it seems as though we are safe!

April is birthday month...

This past weekend we celebrated Elisabeth's birthday. We took a bunch of pictures like this one and I've uploaded them to our Flickr site. This coming weekend, Libby is getting baptised. Hopefully we'll get some pictures of that exciting time up next week.

Alex's party is tomorrow. I can't believe my baby is going to be 12!! He is such a nice kid. He teases too much, but I need to record some of his thoughts here. He is so sweet and insightful. As we enter the teen years I do worry about him but we'll just have to shower him in prayer and trust the Lord. I don't mean to make it sound like that's ALL we can do, like it's a bad thing, I mean, it's the best we can do...

My mom's birthday is Sunday, tax day, and I have no idea what to get her. Sometimes I wish we lived closer but I am content here. I really feel like this is where the Lord put us.

I love this picture... lying on the beach, listening to the waves... and the sound of my angel reading French poetry...
