Thanksgiving 2025

You can't let an old tradition die. We now know that Katie can no longer fit in the stuffing-mixing pot, but we can't stop putting her in it anyway!

This isn't my favorite tradition, but I play along with it for everyone else!

Homework with a Cat

 Sometimes it's hard to sit and relax to do homework when a cat is close by.

The cats like to walk across my keyboard if I sit back to do my work.

Katie's Happy Spot

Katie is always happy when she's in front of a bookshelf!

I could spend hours just looking.

Her Cat Friends

As much as Katie loves the cats, she usually keeps them out of her room because of her allergies. Every once in awhile, she lets one in to visit, and it was General Washington's turn.

I was just trying to lie down on my pillow, but General Washington thought that he deserved the place of honor.

Homecoming

Katie was very excited for her first high school homecoming dance. She went with her group of friends and had a lot of fun.

I love hanging out with friends. We all have such a good time together!

Sick

Katie and I seemed to go back and forth getting sick this fall.

I knew something was wrong when I woke up. Then I took my temperature, and it was 103 degrees.

First Day of School

Here was Katie on the first day of ninth grade.

How is it already time for high school?
