Now we're 1 of 12 waiting families....

It started out with us being one of seven.  Then one family was matched and we became one of six!

The number of families has been climbing and now sits at 12.  It's a bit disheartening.  Our odds were better as one of 6 families, right?

I try not to look at it that way.  The right birth mother will chose us when the time is right. 

It's just hard.

Potty training update

Today is going great!  No accidents!!!!

She wanted to put on her swimsuit this morning... Even though it's storming out and we can't go in the pool.  She loves to swim!

Here's a pic from this weekend at a friends. 

Adoption news

News... Possible lead. 

A family friend is close to a new mother who recently had a baby and may be making an adoption plan for her baby. 

So the family friend is going to show the mother our web profile. 

Please pray for us!

Potty training attempt #948

Ok, maybe I was a bit hyperbolic with that estimate... But I think this time may do the trick!  It's the first time that she actually tells us (sometimes) when she has to go....

Back into the trenches of potty training....

Silly had her kittens!!!!

Thursday she was big pregnant, then she disappeared all day yesterday, then this morning she was thin. I knew!  

Thursday pic. Can't really see the belly, but it's there!

Today pic. 

I found the kittens under my old car. Lucky we don't drive it!  

They're way under there. I count 4, but there could be a fifth. There's a black one, an orange one, and two calico. 

My dad freaked me out today by telling me that raccoons are going to eat them. So I tried to get Silly to follow me into the corner of the garage/barn that I had nested for her.  When I was on my way back there, something moved. I was wearing shorts and unarmed aside from a pocket knife, so I figured We'd look into it later. For the time being, we put a couple of unopened live traps and a dog fence around 3/4 of the car that they're under. Silly can still get out fine, but hopefully it will be safer. 

I can't wait until I can see more of them!  Daughter is so excited!

Zoo fun!

Cousin fun at the zoo!

Silly's pregnant

I brought her to the vet for a rabies vaccine... Turns out she's pregnant. 

The vet said she's about 2 months along. That's how long she's been here!  

Guess our plan to have one barn cat isn't going to work out so great. We're probably going to get her spayed pretty quick after she has the kittens. I'm a little excited. Daughter will have fun with the kittens 😊
