Conversation upon sleeping beauty waking from his Saturday morning nap… 

Zach: What did you do?

Melissa: Hmm?

Zach: What is that noise in the bathroom?

Melissa: Hmm?

Zach: Meowing. Did you go and get another kitten?????

Well, yeah… yeah I did. I couldn’t help it.  George was acting kind of lonely and I thought he might really like to have a little brother or sister.  That fact was he was with his sister when we adopted him and it killed 346439me not to take her too.  I knew I would be pushing my luck if I tried for 2 right off the bat though.  So, when I saw this guy on the Humane Society website I knew he need to come live with us as soon as possible.

So I waited until ZJ decided to take a little snooze to recover from Halloween partying.  Then I made the drive to Woodbury to see if Felipe (don’t worry we changed his name) was still available.

20 minutes later my new 2lb buddy and I were cruising back home.  We kept him separated from George for a few days to let him get adjusted.  Unfortunately he was having some tummy troubles so we weren’t comfortable leaving him out alone.  For his first week and a half, I would go to work and take an early lunch at 11 so I could drive home to check on him and then Zach would come home a few hours later to make sure everybody was doing ok.

We finally figured out that some of his belly issues seemed to be nerves and all he really needed was to be able to hang out with us and George.  Of course I found this out by giving into his poor little baby kitten cries at 12:30am and sleeping on the bathroom floor with him.

Everybody is doing great and Harold Chester Floyd has come into his own this week.  Harry has taken a special liking to jumping at anything that moves and taking lots of kitty naps.  I think George is used to him too…

After receiving an email or two and a few comments in passing from friends I realized that there are actually a few people who at least pretend to care what is going on with us.  There is absolutely zero exciting things with us to report since the last post.  Some fun things going on around us…  a wedding, a baby, a pregnancy or two. 

We’ve been lucky to spend a lot of time with our friends lately.  I’ve come to realize lately how incredibly lucky we are to have such a huge group of people who genuinely seem to like us.  :)

We’re back on the blogging wagon again, I promise.  To make up for the big gap in time please stare at this kitty.  He’ll make it all better.

So in between coming home from Flutter on Saturday afternoon and leaving for my friend Emily’s bachelorette party Saturday evening I heard an odd noise.  Keep in mind it was BEAUTIFUL outside.  Sun, barely any clouds, warm temps (finally)…  Really a great Minnesota early summer afternoon.  Back to the noise…   tornado sirens.  I was in the bathroom curling my hair when they started to go off.  Looked out the window and it was still sunny out so I figured they were testing or something.  My friend Sarah comes over and as I let her in I notice the sky has clouded over.  5 minutes later this starts…

Ok, so we’re getting a little hail and a storm.  We turn on the tv and the warnings are flying all over the place.  Then the tink, tink, tink noise the hail had been making turns into a sound I have never heard before…

The sound of the wind, thunder and hail was so loud we were having to raise our voices to hear each other.  Sarah, Zach and I just stood there kind of amazed at what we were watching.  After a minute I started to get a little scared that maybe we should head down to the garage to hide out from the hail stones that seemed intent on busting through our windows.  Sarah tried to open our sliding door to take a picture and she literally got blown back from the wind.  Everything came to a stop 5 or 10 minutes later.   This is what it looked like…

 

The next day there was still hail in the streets that had yet to melt.  By far one of the craziest storms I have ever seen.
