So on Nov. 26, Rose turned 3! Except Nina was on the East coast, and then there was Thanksgiving and then we were all really sick, so we celebrated later. S'fine, it's not like she can tell time or read a calendar :)

So Happy Late Birthday Rose!

Rose moment

I am playing guitar. Rose comes up to me holding "I Can Read With My Eyes Shut!" and says "Papa will you wead this to me?"

I say sure and we move to the comfy couch with the big lamp. I open the book and before I can start reading, she jumps up and says "Hold onna minute, stay wight there." and disappears around the corner into the kitchen. She pops her head back into the room to say "Don't move. Stay wight there." and vanishes again. I figure she's running to the potty.

She comes back with 9 other Dr. Suess books. "Here you go papa! Wead DESE ones too!"

Trapped. No cat has ever pinned me in place so thoroughly, or for so long :)

and speaking of cats

I guess it's long past time to confirm that we are catless for the first time in 15 years or so. Gabby got out of the house quite some time ago and never came home. I have hoped that she got taken in by someone, but without her thyroid medication she would have had a rough time. Then Jake succumbed to complications from his diabetes over the summer.

We have no plans to re-cat at this time, so please no stories about your friend with the adorable kittens.
