New week, new adventures

I was soooo glad to be off this past weekend after working 6 out of 7 nights straight, which I do every single six weeks, but it never gets easier. So when I was finally free to spend time with the family, of course Chris had plans to be gone all weekend! I have to give him credit though-he worked his tail off, first with a mission project at church called the Big Give (Chris' crew built a wheelchair ramp, among other things). And on top of that he helped out with his sister's refinished floors. This doesn't even count the roof he helped lay a few weeks ago, landscaping our back yard, catching cats at his grandmother's house(sounds funny I know)...and more projects are on the way for him too including a couple plumbing jobs coming up, working on his parents house, and probably helping with our best friend's nursery!! I have to say I am married to the most giving person I know, but I have no idea how he keeps going! Luckily we do see him in between all his giving;)

So referring back to Chris catching cats at his grandmother's house....apparently her subdivision is overrun with stray cats, so Chris has spent several evenings now trying to catch them. Somehow though one little kitty ended up coming home with him (biggest heart I know too!). But being the realist that I am we decided that a new pet is definitely NOT in our future, so me and Amelia took the kitty to the Humane Society. A few tears were shed by Amelia when we left it, saying "my kitty", but I really didn't feel that bad after the lady said it would have to be bottle fed every 4 hours for weeks-that's coming soon enough for us don't you think?!?!

This is Amelia and Phoebe meeting the kitty

On another note: tonight at dinner I decided to give Amelia a big girl cup to start practicing. She was so excited and did pretty well with it, only with a couple expected spills. So Amelia's cup-drinking session went as follows:

1) Be very proud to be drinking out of this cool cup...

2) get overly excited and spill some...

3) giggle as Daddy wipes it up;)
