We had <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">tentatively</span> adopted another adult cat who was in need of a home but when I took him to our vet - she told me that he had some health issues, and that we had been through enough and she wanted me to take him back. That very morning in the vets, at the front desk in a crate was this very sweet, very tiny black and orange tortoiseshell kitten. She was in need of a home, and I was in need of a happy ending involving a feline, and they gave her to me. After a bit of a scare in the very beginning where I had to force feed her for a few days (she was really very young), she now rules the roost - and thinks that her mother is a Standard Poodle. In fact Lucy doesn't know she is a cat and will come when called - jumping right up into my arms. She is growing like a weed, and is really growing into a very lovely cat. She has picked me as her person which is kind of nice since it has been a very long time since we had a cat that I could claim I belonged to.<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiY-BgqIxiObTGjx2y8_rnyz2fNca-nC8mPiQwgfIw2T98Qhq7t5WDVS540gMLODBf0zuloWIxnvqeqtANR5bLBqDZ_wAgS2-5rXXqZa45b-78VGGhY-b0OWJXb6LUHEp2WEea7/s1600-h/IMG_1950.JPG"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiY-BgqIxiObTGjx2y8_rnyz2fNca-nC8mPiQwgfIw2T98Qhq7t5WDVS540gMLODBf0zuloWIxnvqeqtANR5bLBqDZ_wAgS2-5rXXqZa45b-78VGGhY-b0OWJXb6LUHEp2WEea7/s320/IMG_1950.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5306874111606748130" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjkezQFb3uD8DegYSqzB5adW1VVHrXiOfZYAXHZMYHZWSj4RZaQTw57Z4OLe5wx9cVMaelctdJWFaiTo9V3R28rDTL7grTsN75EzB1XgPwy3bQqwXQzygCwAXdIJkJcKyxSUF8I/s1600-h/IMG_1828.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjkezQFb3uD8DegYSqzB5adW1VVHrXiOfZYAXHZMYHZWSj4RZaQTw57Z4OLe5wx9cVMaelctdJWFaiTo9V3R28rDTL7grTsN75EzB1XgPwy3bQqwXQzygCwAXdIJkJcKyxSUF8I/s320/IMG_1828.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5306874106964604354" border="0" /></a><br /><br />She has more than tripled in size since this was taken.

She suddenly became ill a couple of weeks ago, and our vet thought initially something treatable. However when she wasn't respondng to treatment, there was further investigation, and it became apparent that she had a tumor of some sort. There was no doubt in our minds what needed to be done, and I was there with her.<br /><br />Maggie came to us in January of 2001, when my old Tabby cat passed at the ripe old age of 14 1/2<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiZcdhtAYGv9_GGdk6EALyk01U-ngBM-h29F2_fFqKU1ViVSErwo0d1rLaEJkyn-vdWjHQJlHez2R6nsN-n27El-EgR_7RJd38h-6YXLHL4K-tgCsogO0IMJKLydpu5AtHIKIEm/s1600-h/IM000015.JPG"><img style="CLEAR: both; FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiZcdhtAYGv9_GGdk6EALyk01U-ngBM-h29F2_fFqKU1ViVSErwo0d1rLaEJkyn-vdWjHQJlHez2R6nsN-n27El-EgR_7RJd38h-6YXLHL4K-tgCsogO0IMJKLydpu5AtHIKIEm/s320/IM000015.JPG" border="0" /></a> . Our house has mice, so we obviously needed to get another cat. We got Maggie at the SPCA, and right from the first her person was Morgan ( who was only 6 weeks old at the time!). Maggie loved all the kids though, especially when they were babies. She is snuggling there in the playpen with Ella. At that point she was bigger than the baby!<br /><br />Maggie loved when there were babies in the house and could always be found sleeping in a car seat, or playpen. I even saw her in the highchair a couple of times.<br /><br />Every night at bedtime Maggie would go up on the top bunk with Morgan, and would stay there until she was asleep.<br />She was a very gentle kitty, and never used her claws or teeth on any of the kids, although there were times when you couldn't have blamed her if she had.<br /><br /><br />We loved her very much, and she will be very missed.<br /><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjn1U5dEk2bTnSDzFuARaPa02XxIp8MjFmIUbThzHkB-2A2EuHogV33YyNtGGQod2bfqvAz2pz30uewDsJGhGZxnJLB-lzGgqxb6qdlL9Xxt-1r-blQRvNMgx4MxOSjKMGeFaHv/s1600-h/IM001024.jpg"><img style="CLEAR: both; FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjn1U5dEk2bTnSDzFuARaPa02XxIp8MjFmIUbThzHkB-2A2EuHogV33YyNtGGQod2bfqvAz2pz30uewDsJGhGZxnJLB-lzGgqxb6qdlL9Xxt-1r-blQRvNMgx4MxOSjKMGeFaHv/s320/IM001024.jpg" border="0" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh3jxX_S4-wMj_yB_n_9Dy-dx3y19WwEa3oTeM9ZfBKu0mLUH8Df-cy3DIVVqa19kfVuPVlQvlOmff48GMqnqc2iaEht2eamlT0kIs99uww__uBzi68kTqA3TbnIGjY5mrfrOuJ/s1600-h/IMG_0058.JPG"><img style="CLEAR: both; FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh3jxX_S4-wMj_yB_n_9Dy-dx3y19WwEa3oTeM9ZfBKu0mLUH8Df-cy3DIVVqa19kfVuPVlQvlOmff48GMqnqc2iaEht2eamlT0kIs99uww__uBzi68kTqA3TbnIGjY5mrfrOuJ/s320/IMG_0058.JPG" border="0" /></a> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiFHf_NoyDE-m5XVabkqRTax0A66hIwG_NSXtPM92l8_NF7luOsdbRlz6h5QsYs5MuSQa9HYLE1wvxcHYHhfljMXb1mwfd-6Zc6-Qs1kOZ7IOUvtUsjV4SGX2spRtWbKsdefJzF/s1600-h/MAGGIE.jpg"><img style="CLEAR: both; FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiFHf_NoyDE-m5XVabkqRTax0A66hIwG_NSXtPM92l8_NF7luOsdbRlz6h5QsYs5MuSQa9HYLE1wvxcHYHhfljMXb1mwfd-6Zc6-Qs1kOZ7IOUvtUsjV4SGX2spRtWbKsdefJzF/s320/MAGGIE.jpg" border="0" /></a><div style='clear:both; text-align:RIGHT'><a href='http://picasa.google.com/blogger/' target='ext'><img src='http://photos1.blogger.com/pbp.gif' alt='Posted by Picasa' style='border: 0px none ; padding: 0px; background: transparent none repeat scroll 0% 50%; -moz-background-clip: initial; -moz-background-origin: initial; -moz-background-inline-policy: initial;' align='middle' border='0' /></a></div>Doodlebugzhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02971827714133244278noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13349381.post-85843722988818089882008-10-02T13:28:00.003-04:002008-10-02T13:37:09.213-04:00X-country runMorgan completed her first cross-country run yesterday.

I think this is the longest I have EVER gone without posting anything. Partly I have been very uninspired, and partly I have NO time! It is crazy busy around here, and during the school year everything I do, has to be done in two hour time blocks because of school pick-ups......<br /><br />We had a great summer. Morgan and Paige loved playing soccer, and Paige especially can't wait for spring so she can play again. We did our annual trip to "The Island", and went on our first family camping trip. Also lots of hiking and trips to the park.<br />Here are some pics:<br />These are from a trip we took to a butterfly conservatory.

This included seeing the Audiologist, Speech Pathologist, and Developmental Pediatrician. This was our first time seeing this team all together, and our first time seeing the Developmental Pediatrician at all. She was an extremely nice lady, and all three appointments went well. There are no concerns at all with Ella's development, infact she is above in some areas. One thing that did come up with the pediatrician was her diagnosis. Ella's file still says everything from Moebious to Goldenhar, and Hemifacial Microsomnia. The consensus across the board seems to be that she only has Hemifacial Microsomnia - which is a good thing. Hopefully when the team sends the report out it will state that somewhere in there. Our other pediatrician keeps saying Goldenhar Syndrome - which is much more severe, and which she clearly does not have. Its is quite frustating, and if her files all had the same diagnosis, it would make life much easier! Given Ella's progress we most likely won't have to go back for two years, we'll find out when we get mailed the report! Paige came with us to the appointments and was a star!!!! It was a two-hour appointment, and she was excellent the whole entire time!<br />xxooDoodlebugzhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02971827714133244278noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13349381.post-47152586784105554522008-06-09T16:04:00.003-04:002008-12-10T01:22:12.022-05:00Brownie CampPhew!

I've been having a very frustrating week with Morgan; you know; one of those where she isn't listening, being rude, and it seems as if all I am doing is yelling at her to no avail, ready to pull my hair out. Well this afternoon there was no school for Morgan and <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">Maddison</span>, so I put Ella and Paige in the tub this afternoon because Morgan has a soccer game this evening and there is no way that it would get done later. Well, as I was getting Ella dried off, the phone went and rather than running for it I let the machine pick it up. The message was from Morgan's teacher saying that Morgan is being recognized at the Smile Assembly tomorrow. When I asked the girls what the Character Build for this month was they told me it was for Empathy. This is Morgan's second award this year. Her first one was for Honesty and Integrity.<br /><br />For all of my yelling and feeling as if I am not getting through, something must be seeping through to them after all!!!!!<br /><span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">xxoo</span>Doodlebugzhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02971827714133244278noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13349381.post-47181420676347856752008-05-20T10:07:00.003-04:002008-05-20T10:15:36.218-04:00I can't find the cord that links my camera to the computer. Now that I am using a desktop again, I can't just stick in the memory card to get my pictures off of the camera!<br />We had a good long weekend, although it was really chilly. This is the first year that I haven't planted my flowers on the May long weekend! Saturday morning was filled with gymnastics. Then in the afternoon and evening we had our annual street party. This was the first year that Ella watched the fireworks. Last year she fell asleep and was tucked <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">snuggly</span> in her crib. This year she was wide awake for them, and loved them! We had <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">Maddison</span> and family with us, and celebrated Grandma's birthday as well. Paige had her best friend here as well and they had their first sleep-over which went off without a hitch. I think that was partly due to the fact that they went to bed really late! Sunday was filled with errands, and Monday was spent with Mama Bear doing laundry and sorting clothes, and closets, and Papa Bear doing a project with Morgan.<br /><br />Paige has her first soccer game tonight, and Morgan has her first practice tonight and first game tomorrow night. They are on separate fields though which has caused some anxiety because K is out of town this week. Luckily <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">Ashty</span> is coming to my rescue!<br /><br />I'm off to look for that camera cord....<br /><span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3">xoxox</span>Doodlebugzhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02971827714133244278noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13349381.post-70675780997617668292008-05-12T18:30:00.003-04:002008-05-12T19:19:48.598-04:00<span style="font-style: italic;">Wow! I think that this is the longest that I have ever gone without an entry. I have pictures to put up, going all the way back to February from Ella's second birthday. I had my laptop blow-up and was without a computer for about a six week span. Hard to believe that I didn't implode from lack of computer time - but here I am still here. I had K's laptop at night. We are back to a desktop in the kitchen. Most members of the family are very pleased about this. The laptop was a bit tricky for the kids.</span><br /><span style="font-style: italic;">Over the last little while things have been very emotional for me. There was a lot of emotion leading up to Dad's memorial service in April, and we had the first anniversary of Lynn's passing. I am emotionally exhausted from the last year and just haven't been inspired to blog. It is time to start healing though.</span><br /><span style="font-style: italic;">I promise however in the next little while to get those pictures up. That is if anyone is even still out there to see them, considering that I haven't posted in months! ;)</span><br /><span style="font-style: italic;" class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">XOXOXOXOX</span><span style="font-style: italic;"> to all.</span>Doodlebugzhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02971827714133244278noreply@blogger.com2
