Kitten in a Basket

Thursday, April 24, 2014

 

Jordan’s family cat had a litter of kittens not long after Marian was born. Atlanta and Jordan have adopted one. Her name is Violet and she and Carolina had a lot of fun during our short visit.

Carolina tried to carry her around in this basket, but she wasn’t content to stay inside it.

She did find something else to put in her basket. These brightly colored phlox were blooming everywhere in the woods.

A Dose of Marian

In an attempt to cover up some of the pain and anger you’re probably feeling on this dreaded tax day, how about a few pictures sure to make you smile? Remember, a spoonful of sugar helps the medicine go down…

Atlanta reports that Marian has at least four rolls on her thighs now…as you can see from the picture.

 

The Backpack

 

Monday, April 7, 2014

 

When I was raising my babies, I discovered that they really liked to ride in a backpack. They were always so curious as to what I was doing, and they didn’t particularly like to swing or sit for too long. However, in the backpack, they stayed very contented and happy.

 

Since Atlanta was having trouble keeping Marian happy while she worked, I packed up my old backpack and sent it to Tennessee. She’s been sending me a few pictures of the little darling enjoying her new status as head papoose.

Atlanta says the only problem is that it tends to put her to sleep every time. But if you’re careful, you can slip out of the backpack and set it down on its legs without waking up the sleeping baby.
