The Kitty Cats Have Arrived!

When we returned from our beach vacation, we were finally able to bring home our two new kitties!  They actually were old enough to leave their mother a 2-3 weeks before we got them home.  But we opted to wait until we were back from vacation so they didn’t feel abandoned right after getting here!

Here are a few pictures we took the day they came home.

They have grown a LOT since then and are generally busy chasing each other and playing all over the house.  They are so laid back and have been fabulous with The Bean.  She’s learned how to treat them and generally has done pretty well with them.  We are looking forward to a lot of years with our sweet kitties.  Pixie and Trinity

A Beanish Birthday

Back in April, The Bean turned 5 this year!!!  I’m still in shock.  It was just last month that I finally brought her home from the hospital!  She truly becomes a greater blessing each day.  I can never imagine how much more I can love her, but it seems that every day, I do.  Watching her grow and blossom has been amazing.  This year has truly been one of growth and change for her.

Thank you, My Sweet Bean, for the joy you bring to my life, for the smiles you share, for the laughter you provide, the perspective you have.  Thank you for being your wonderful Beanish self.  I am blessed to call myself your Mommy.

I love you!

A Long Neglected Blog…

I have sorely neglected my blog this year.  I’ll be posting several posts over the weekend and plan to get back to posting regularly.  Thanks to everyone who has stuck around waiting for me!

New Additions To The House O’ Bean

UPDATE – Sadly, Bo and Dixie are no longer with us.  They escaped our yard 4 times in less than 2 weeks.  The last time they got out, they didn’t return.  We hope they have found a happy home somewhere.

Meet Bo and Dixie.  We adopted them from a friend of a friend who was moving and couldn’t take them.  The only shelter they could take them to would have put them down after 4 days.  So they came to live with us.  The Bean is over the moon!!!  We’re all enjoying having them in the family.

It Was A Dress Up Kind Of Day.

Life….It Has Been Happening!

Just a note to say that we are still here and doing fine for anyone out there still checking my corner of the blogging world.  Life has been busy and fun and crazy and tiring and absolutely amazing.  Exactly as it’s supposed to be.

But lately, living life has left me little time for blogging.  There are things I’m working on now that are more important for me to devote my time and energy to.  So my sweet little blog has been relegated to the back burner for now.

Don’t think you won’t hear from me anymore though.  I don’t know when, but I’ll be back to blogging at some point.  Hope each of you are kind enough to wait around for me when I do.

Thanks!

Scenes From December

We actually had SNOW in Houston! Note the green grass under the snow.

One The Bean’s Christmas gifts was a dress up area in her room.

Scenes From November

I have WOEFULLY neglected my blog the past 2 months.  I plan to be more attentive in the new year!  Here’s a taste of the last couple of months in pictures.

These first four photos were taken by my good friend, Brandye, who is starting her photography business.  We were LONG over due for some good photos of The Bean and a current family shot. Brandye took some amazing shots.  Thanks, Girl!!  I’ll link your website once it’s up and running!  Can’t wait!
