Our New Arrivals!

Just last week I realized our kitty, Mittens, was pregnant. (Mittens is the kitten we kept from our Bella's litter last year) So, we were surprised that after only a week of knowing she was expecting, they arrived! I was panicking at the moment but it was a little funny....
They arrived on Tuesday afternoon- that morning I had swept out the garage and put the box we had ready for her in a spot I thought she'd be ok with, hoping that she'd do well and have them in the box. (Bella was a pro and had her's in the box we prepared for her) I had also noticed the cats had been trying to climb into our brand new bike trailer and didn't want that. (Ryan just got me a bike and a trailer to take Madi in, we love it! He is awesome!) So I cleaned it off and made sure the cover was closed up all the way, I then told Ryan on the phone that I thought we should just cover it when we weren't using it so the kitties wouldn't get it all cat-hair-covered. (We love our kitties, but they stay outside.) So late that afternoon the kids and I were getting ready to leave and I told them to go get in the car, they went out and quickly ran back in yelling...."Moooooomm!!!! Mittens had her babies in the buggy!!!" (Buggy = bike trailer) You've got to be kidding me. I ran out to find that she had them all out and cleaned off already, 5 wet teeny tiny kittens in the bottom of the buggy. Nice. I was a few hours late on getting it covered up. Luckily, Mittens was very good about me moving her and the babies to the box. Thank goodness. And I got the buggy all cleaned up. Here they are...

About 5 hours old

Pierce and Madi are so excited! Of course I am too, kittens are such a fun experience with little kids. We all can't wait until we can hold them! For now, we go out and look at them lots.

2 days old. I love this picture. I just love how they all pile on top of each other. It's so funny to watch them. Stinkin' cute tiny things. I am amazed that they are all 5 so different!

Mittens the new Momma

We plan on having lots of fun with them over the next 8 weeks. After that, if any one wants a kitten, let me know! :)

Baby kitties are soooo cute! Well, anything baby is cute for that matter. I can't imagine having that many babies inside of me. What a trooper Mittens was. Love the Easter photos. It's so fun to have egg hunts. You're kids are so cute!
