We have a cat!

You would think that our home was filled with plenty of animals with two dogs and two guinea pigs, but there was something still missing from our family...a cat.  One of Travis's coworkers had a cat that took residence in their garage last winter.  They already had a cat and a dog and thought they would like to find a nice home for the cat.

That is where we come in.  I had been looking at possibly adopting a cat, but since this cat showed up and was free, we thought we would give cat ownership a try.  We are glad that we did.  After we brought Ellie home, she was a bit unsure about our dogs.  The dogs were good and didn't chase her, but every time they got near her she hissed at them.  After she figured out that they weren't going to hurt, she was feeling comfortable enough to come out more and not hide.

Now, she loves to play with Shadow at times and rubs up against both of them trying to get their attention.  She is a good addition to our family.

Be my Valentine...

I was helping out in Cody's class for Valentine's Day yesterday. It is so cute to see how excited the kids are to share their Valentine's with one another. Of course a lot of the excitement has to do with the candy that usually comes with it. As the class was listening to the story of Valentine's Day that was being read by the teacher, a little girl came over from the other classroom to ask if Cody was there. I told her yes and she proceeded to give me a Valentine for him. When I realized who it was (it happened to be a girl he has talked about), I quickly said hi and told her I am Cody's mom. She said hi back and said nice to meet you

Still got a chance...

Last week Cody and I had gone shopping. As we were going through the checkout lane he noticed a magazine with Carrie Underwood in her wedding dress on the front cover. He loves Carrie Underwood and even drew hearts all around her picture of one of my magazines. He asked "Mom, did she get married?" I answered "Yes." Right away he said "Do you think they will break up soon?" I told him that if she did break up with him, she likes hockey players so he still has a chance. He said "Good!"

Uh oh!

Well, I was hoping this day wouldn't come this early, but today I received a call from school. Mr. Goetz, the school administrator, told me that he had Cody in his office along with another boy from Cody's class. Apparently, Cody's teacher asked Mr. Goetz to talk to the boys regarding their behavior. They had been shoving and hitting each other so the teacher decided they should be taken aside to make sure they know the rules. We will see what Cody's take is on this when we talk to him about it this evening...stay tuned.
