Crvarich Cousins in Walnut Creek
16 Aug 2013We had an awesome Pool Play Date yesterday, at the Embassy Suites.
We caught the cousins on they way home from a Hume Lake camping trip. Mike was doing a couple days of work while in the neighborhood of Walnut Creek. This is his usual place to stay while he is in town for business. It was rather unusual for him to have all of us there!
We had vague plans to go out for dinner, but do you know how good the “happy hour” is at Embassy Suites?
Free Cocktails for the moms (later joined by the dads). Hearty snacks, plus coloring papers and crayons for the kids, and circuit paths thru the koi pond jungle. The ‘hour’ became multiple hours of easy parenting.
We made promises to do this again at the very next opportunity.
Introducing Our New Kittens
13 Aug 2013Bonnie and Boz!
‘Bonnie’ is inspired by Bonnie & Clyde, and also Bonnie Rait. She’s smaller, but she’s tough and talented.
She’s our future mouser. #Hired
‘Boz’ is from Boz Scaggs, but this is a new era, and the name is ready for some fresh air. He’s a cool cat.
I have been busy these past couple of days, trying to clean the house, (baby steps!) and get ready for Back to School! School starts next Monday for both kids.
Of course we’ve spent many hours with our new little ones. The playroom is the perfect room to corral these guys, and Booker’s fireplace is a natural cozy spot for the kitties. They’ve been crashing around in there! Sadly, it’s the darkest room in the house, so the photos have been mostly dark and crappy. This afternoon had decent light on a sunny day, so I tried to capture a play session with my dslr. (I should have borrowed Cole’s camera while I still can!) Not the best, but better than nothing.
The mouse in most of the photos is Bonnie’s favorite. It’s bottom weighted so it tips onto a round ball-bottom and has extra movement (Genius). We hold it back for even more excitement. Bonnie barely lets Boz have any turns with it. I kept tossing it to him, but mostly he’s content to let her have it. What is it with feisty/fierce girls in this house? And mellow cool dudes? Ha ha I’m over generalizing – no worries :)
New Kittens!
11 Aug 2013Two Tabbies, a boy and a girl, from the same litter. About 4 months old. She’s smaller and golden brown, he’s larger and more grey, with a little spot on his nose. They are San Francisco natives. I think they’re Beauuutifulll…

They are very healthy – the vet report says Nothing to report, so that’s great! They’ve been chipped and fixed.
We’re so happy to have them both!
