Red Thread...

There is an ancient Chinese belief which states that there is an invisible red thread that connects each of us to all of the individuals who have been, currently are, and will in the future be important to us in our lives.

This red thread can stretch, twist, and bend… but will never break.

Driving Class

How was it already time to learn to drive!?? Katie was very excited to get her driver's permit and enroll in classes last winter. The first time behind the wheel, however, brought on some nerves.

I had to put in lots of hours of driving. I was a little nervous the first drive which was just in a parking lot.

Visiting the Cats

Last winter, we did some renovation on our upstairs. Jennifer was nice enough to take care of our cats for a month while the workers were in and out. The cats always loved it when Katie went to visit.

I missed the cats when they weren't home!

Out Shopping

 When Katie went out shopping with Maria's family, Maria and Katie quickly found what they wanted.

Who doesn't like chocolate?

Already?!

How is Katie old enough for her driver's permit? She worked hard this past winter to go to driving classes, put in 50 hours of driving time, and pass all the tests she needed to pass in order to get her driver's license. Now she just has to wait for her birthday.

It made me happy to have two friends in my class. 

Another Sleepover

 Katie loves having sleepovers with her friends!

I always have fun with Maria.

Our Squirrel Friend

We have a squirrel who lives in the tree right outside our front door. When it sees the cats in the window, it likes to sit on the fence and just stare at them and taunt them. It provides the entertainment for the cats that they need.

We think our squirrel is pretty friendly, but the cats would like to eat it.

Zoo Lights

 I forgot to post Katie's pictures of her trip to Zoo Lights.
