Finn, Post-Christmas

Proud of Finn for working at and being patient with him new Christmas presents.  The Spirograph takes some serious concentration.  And he made the below Rainbow Loom ring without any help.





Missing Calvert Cat

Calvert cat died on Wednesday, September 25, 2013.  Out of the blue.  He seemed very sick Monday morning.  I took him to the vet that afternoon and we left him at the animal hospital Monday night.  I was optimistic, but he was too sick to bounce back.

Now, we miss him.   I wake up in the morning wondering where he is.  For weeks when I'd go to the freezer for ice cream, I would look for him to appear.  Meanwhile, Wylie still thinks Calvert is sick and in the hospital.  

We held a little memorial service for him, sending balloons up to heaven so Calvert would know we loved him.  Finn said Calvert already knew we loved him.  Calvert, we miss you and love you.  You'll always be in our hearts.
