On the top are pictures of our Ethan on his fifth birthday! He had a great day and received all kinds of great presents including lots of Legos and Wii games. Grammy Sue and I put together many a Lego set following his birthday with Ethan's assistance. I can't believe he is FIVE! He is so excited about school though and I know he'll love it once he gets through the first few days. They don't start until after Labor Day so we still have some great vacation time left.
And perhaps I was already having empty nest syndrome with the start of school approaching . . . so we decided to add another furry addition to our family. Sara, Katrina's one year old kitten, loved playing with our neighbor's kitten when we kitty-sat recently. I think she will really love having her very own buddy. We have decided to name him Chewy as the kids (and Greg) love Star Wars and as you can see in the pictures, he likes to gently chew on your finger. He doesn't bite. . . . just kind of almost sucks on it. We won't get him until at least Saturday as they will neuter him first (he is about 12 weeks old) and he currently has a runny nose so they might wait even longer (UGH!). But we're trying to be patient and we visit him every day. Katrina wrote a very sweet letter to the shelter thanking them for taking care of him and all the animals and she donated one of her very own dollar bills. He is just the sweetest kitty. And yes, we have a lot of pets. This will make seven. Our final addition. But they make life fun and interesting and it would be so empty at our house without each of them.

You probably need a lot of cats to keep the pests out of your house since you live in the woods. Right? Two outside cats and two inside cats may be just what you need. Don't let this kitten grow up until I can meet her!
Great birthday pictures, too.
What a great birthday! Jake is obsessed with Legos, Star Wars, and the Wii as well and I have a feeling his birthday will be very similar to Ethan's. =) Chewy is a perfect name for the cat! Funny, my boys recently named a stray cat Jedi. A friend took him in and changed his name to Fred, but he will always be Jedi to us.
