Better Late Than Never
I’ve posted ten week photos of the Winter Gifts to their page. I didn’t get it done last night — no good excuse, really. I wanted to relax and do nothing last night, while waiting for a phone call from my mother. My dad broke his hip on Tuesday afternoon and was taken by ambulance to the hospital about 2 1/2 hours away from where my parents live. They performed surgery yesterday afternoon to repair the damage and I was anxiously awaiting news of how things had gone. My dad is 86, with diabetes and heart problems, so any surgery is risky. I was relieved to hear it went well, with no complications during the procedure.
The kittens are doing great — getting so big and adventurous! Keona has springs for legs and is determined to be as good a jumper as her Uncle Spaz. They love sleeping in the “cave” on the couch. Ken put a fleece throw on the couch, then propped up a couple pillows and draped another throw over them so it makes a fabric cave. Sometimes they get to playing like mad and jump on the roof of the cave, causing it to collapse, but someone (usually Ken) fixes it so the cave is nearly always available for kitten naps. And he says he doesn’t like cats!
The other update to the website I made tonight was to the Kittens page. Yes, the beautiful Danica and the handsome McCoy are expecting babies next month. I’m very excited to see what these wonderful cats produce together. Unfortunately, I won’t get to see them growing up in person, so I’m going to have to rely on Sondra for pictures. Yes, I will be nagging. 
Oh, and back to the subject of the night… late pictures… Next week I’ll be in Philadelphia from Sunday until late Thursday night. So Friday morning I hope to take pictures, before possibly leaving for Oregon for a week. My new grandson is due to make his appearance around May 1st, but he may arrive sooner. I will be going out to meet him in person and help Heather with Braysen for a week. Since I think two year olds are the most fun ever, I’m excited about that, too. But it does mean that two weeks in a row pictures will be late.

I am very excited about the new babies on the way!
