The beanie baby has a grown up face now and it's WEIRD

I was in Santa Cruz for five days and she didn't leave my chest today for five straight hours.

Enough of that. Here's to five minutes of existing peacefully within six feet of each other

I lied. That is not all. Here also, a portrait by my father who continues to call himself Papa Chaos like it's an honorific on par with Father Christmas

We brought our girls home at 8 weeks (Bean Dip) and 9 months (Frito) and I thought Frito's growth spurts were wild but MAN!! Nothing on kittens younger than she was when her colony was trapped.

Today's two of them stick their tongues out

Hello friends, been a minute! There are two of them now.

Been a bit! Have a Tito basking in her "they don't know I have chewed a hole in my dry food bag and have been free-feeding for a week" glory

This is Frito, she's 2.

Also husband made me one pan casserole for dinner on Monday :)

For Your Consideration: Frito curled up in the cubby storage shelf below my physical therapy equipment and sleeping with her head on the edge of the hidey hole cube what is made for cats and placed there for her convenience.

My beautiful children whomst were intended for dinner at some point

In I'm very proud of myself for things I could do age 7 but haven't done in years news: I used the stove!! Successfully!! I made lunch!! And not just a salad or sandwich or something with a spritz of aerosolized vegetable oil into the pan and a light frying they wouldn't splatter!!
