Here, kitty, kitty, kitty…

The boys still seem determined to play with/carry around/love on the kitties every chance they can. I’m waiting for them to start visibly shaking when they see a child approaching, but it hasn’t happened yet! In an effort to bribe the boys into giving me a few minutes of piece the other day, [...]

I’ve finished some things in the last week…

MMmmmmm! The orange one was pretty tasty, too…

This was fantastic (and, for the record — the work of 3 evenings); very, very mellow. If you haven’t been able to find a red wine you could handle, start with this one!
