Life and such.

Wow first of all it's been quite a while since I blogged. I think winter happened oh yeah and life! I guess with work and school we got a little busy. Zada has been busy with Sparks (girl scouts) and I was busy with my sewing class. 

During Zada's March break we made a visit to my parents house in Missouri. We had a wonderful time and did lots and lots of activities. It was great to see all of the people we got to visit with. We're looking forward to a return trip sometime later this year. 

Work has been going quite well. I'm truly enjoying my job and the people I work with. I"m learning so much in the world of Patents...

We are finally entering Spring up here in the north. The tulips are finally blooming. Its nice to see the buds on trees and the green grass. I'm also happy to report I had my first set of Cardinals on my bird feeder last week! 

I'm also happy to report that we have made a new addition to our family. No not a baby. A kitten. He is ever so cute with his 6 toes! He was born the day before Zada's birthday this year! We will always remember the kittens bday! We let Zada pick out the kitty..James and I got to pick the name. We settled for Little Darwin. He's a playful little kitty. Zada is over the moon to have a kitty that she can finally hold and squeeze and love! 

Please enjoy the photos! More to come!

I will also hopefull get back to blogging. Sorry for the lack of post to anyone who has come here to read about our little life! Really you haven't missed a whole lot!! :)

We will miss you Black Cat......

Most of you probably not aware but the week before Christmas Black Cat was diagnosed with lung cancer. It was spreading an a fast pace and there was absolutely nothing that could be done. We decided to bring her home where she could be surrounded by her family during her last days. She stopped eating two weeks ago and slowed down considerably. She was still herself - somewhat. She was pretty inactive but very alert and always excited to see us.

Last night she took a turn for the worse and her breathing because extremely labored.When we came home from work she was still gasping for a breath and we decided that enough was enough - she was suffering. So we made that rough journey and had her put to sleep.... and sleep is exactly what she did.

She will be missed a lot.
