Handy (Farm) Household Tip #1

If you are, *ahem,* "blessed" to have a cat who is a great mouser ...

... Be sure to take a good look at what's in said cat's mouth before picking her up to snuggle her. 

Don't ask me how I know.

P.S.  I totally cropped this picture.  No way did I get that close to that mouse.  Again. 

P.P.S  I just noticed the cat saliva on the little guy's fur.  Ha!  I almost feel sorry for him.  Almost ...

Birthday Cake

After a week of recuperating, our little man was finally back 100% this weekend, Praise God!   Which meant, he finally got to try BIRTHDAY CAKE!!!

 Here's the cake-eating progression:

 "I'm not quite sure what to do with this ..."

"I guess it won't hurt to try just a little ..."

"Hey!  This stuff is great!"

"Want some?"

One Year Old Baby Boy

Our Bruce turned one year old yesterday!  Thoughts on my first year of motherhood to come later. 

For now, I'm sitting with my little man in the hospital.  He came down with the stomach flu on Thursday night and we have been fighting to keep him hydrated ever since then.  Things had been going okay until this morning when little man stopped drinking fluids.  We went to the doctor who sent us to the hospital for and IV to get him rehydrated.  We should be able to go home later this evening.  Right now he's cuddled up with daddy in the hospital bed watching Sponge Bob Squarepants. 

Just a minor set back.  Bruce will be motoring around again soon, I am sure.
