We got a new bed, and the cats really love it.  Being much bigger than our old bed,

they have more room to have their own space.  Yet, I found Oliver and Run laying

quite close to one another earlier today :)  They've been hanging out with me as I

rest, trying to get better quickly.

And then this evening.  Poor Georgia lovey.  Her first busted lip.

She jumped into her tent, and it was too close to her rocking chair, so she ended

up hitting her lip on the bottom of the rocker.  I knew she was hurt immediately

because I've never heard her cry like that before :(  She got over it pretty quickly

though, thankfully.  I took that picture just after the bleeding stopped since

Ben wasn't home at the time, I wanted to document it for him.

These flowers were given to us by my father-in-law.
I wrote about them on our family blog when I posted our Easter pictures:
I absolutely love these flowers. At our last house, we had a huge bush of them at the end of our
driveway, and I was really sad to leave that bush behind. I used these flowers in Georgia's Easter
basket last year, and I really wanted to use them again. Ben said his Dad had a couple of the bushes,
so he would get some flowers for me. Well, Jeff (his Dad) gave us an entire bush! Needless to say,
I'm very happy :)

and I wanted to share what Jeff said in a comment on the picture I captioned that with:

Although this is not the exact plant, Spirea has a special meaning to me. My Mom dug hers up from

the home she loved in PA, brought it to Florida and planted it in the house we lived at in [said town].

When they sold that home she dug it up again and it is planted behind our house. She obviously really

loved Spirea. The transplant is a Northern variety and doesn't bloom as well as yours will, but it is

Spirea and still has a special meaning. When Ben asked if he could cut some flowers off of it, it was

an easy decision. You never got to meet Bami, but she really loved Ben and she would have been so

thankful God picked you to be his wife. And she would be pinching Georgia's, and what other babies

God may bless you with, sweet cheeks! She loved the babies even more than flowers! It was an instant

and easy decision to share a little of her love of flowers, that is part of our heritage, with the girl she

never got to meet. Yet.

Sorry for the masses of words... I just thought it was sweet and wanted to share.

And then Oliver.  I laid down for a bit on this day, and all three cats joined me :)

Today is Oliver and Luna's 4th birthday!

I seriously cannot believe they are already 4 years old.  I very clearly

and fondly remember adopting them both.  You can read about adopting

them and the first 2 years of their life in their 2nd birthday post here.

Oh, and here's Runt.  He wanted a picture with me too ;)

His birthday is next month.

She is seriously one of the goofiest people I know.  She loves to bite onto her bath letters and

just leave them sitting there between her teeth as she plays.  Specifically the Q.  No idea why.

This chair is a favorite among our cats.  8 out of 10 times I look at it, there is a cat either on it,

or in front of it.  They are just the best and I love them so much.

Runt always becomes quite daring when Georgia takes a bath.  He just wants to drink the water.

When I went back in to drain the water and shut the door, I caught him standing in the water drinking.

Even our cats are major Floridians.  It was rather chilly today, and Oliver ended up spending about

two hours snuggled up completely covered in that blanket.  I only uncovered him for a picture.
