Sunshine is a New Mommy!

Emily's favorite thing in the world (other than Lovie) is Sunshine the cat. Sunshine lives at The Farm- it is the neighbor's cat that comes to see Emily when we are visiting. She LOVES her!

Before our trip we found out that Sunshine was pregnant. We did not know that she would become a mommy while we were visiting.

Story goes: Nana and Emily walked to the neighbors to see Sunshine. Sunshine hops out of her hiding place, in labor, and delivers a kitten on the patio. A little panicked, Nana runs home to tell us, I run over to the neighbors' house, and wait until kitten #2 is born. A.M.A.Z.I.N.G! We all go home, return a few hours later to find Sunshine is a momma to 4 baby kittens. 

Here is a video of Emily and Sunshine and kitten #1 (Emily is wearing gloves she found in the back of Granddaddy's truck. No, she was not helping in labor & delivery!).

It was a very cool experience for us all. I had never seen an animal give birth. Very amazing.

Kara's 1st day of MDO

The girls started going to a summer MDO program on Tuesday. This was Kara's first day of Mother's Day Out- ever! So of course, I had to take a few pics to commemorate.

She doesn't stay still for long...on the move!

Sister Emily got in on the picture action, too!

I cried when I dropped her off- and I think she cried most of the day- but it will get better. For us both.

My very serious firstborn

While Emily has a gorgeous smile, she has always had a very serious look too. And yesterday, I captured it again. Deep in thought, I suppose.

love her

Slide!!

With a little help, Kara has discovered how fun it is to slide.
Ready, Set, GO!

 She loves it!

And she makes the greatest face going down....mixture of love and complete fear....

 See it?? Ha ha!

I love that sweet excited face!

And a congratulatory hug from big sis!
