Catching up again!

Holy smoke! What a time we had last week. I'm sure Grace & Company felt rather neglected in the areas of playtime and personal attention. Grandbean Kira had fever, coughing, etc., all last week - missed all four school days! - and Grandbean Austen had semester exams - different pick-up times all week long! Thankfully, Grandbean Parker is healthy and had normal school days last week. He's the only one who did!

Here are Grace and Audace inspecting the books and other goodies from one of Deb & ML's auctions - this photo is from Jan 9!! They had to snoopervise the unpacking, you know!


And here is Ruse - still slim and lithe enough to get to the top of the cupboards and over to the area where both he and Audace used to snooze when they were still kittens! I'm sure he is mystified about why it's so hard to get past that funny ceiling right there. Tight fit!

This week should be back to normal - whatever that is!

Audace watches TV!

Pluto and Indy used to do this, but this is the first time I've seen Audace pay attention to anything on TV. I was watching some of the Wild America DVDs my bro sent me for Christmas, and this one was called "Wild Texas" -- filled with bird and other animal sounds. Audace paid attention; Grace and Ruse slept through it all!
