Orphan Kittens

Max, Mandy, and Abby found some kittens that had been left along the rode. When the brought them home I thought they were dead. Well we fed them milk with a syringe and they revived. After about three days they were eating lunch meat and lapping milk by themselves. The grand kids fell in love with them. Mandy took them home to take care of until they could find a suitable home. They found a family with 5 daughters living on a farm that were willing to take them. That was one stipulation--they could not be split. I don't know what all those cats had been through before we started taking care of them--but they seem to be pretty protective of each other. I understand there were a few tears shed when the new owner came to pick up the kittens. But they learned a great humanitarian lesson--taking care of orphans.

Running is Fun???

These people think so. Adam, Ethan, Abby, and Courtney (Chad's sister) ran in the 4th of July 3K. Adam ran it in record time. All of them finished, which in my eyes makes them all winners!!! Mandy has been training to run in it, but has a leg injury and was unable to run.

Home Again

I figured it was time for an update. We made it home and have been enjoying our family-- doing a little of this and a little of that. I get busy watching the grand kids and forget to take pictures.
