Kittehs!

We have kittens! To be more precise, Angi and Andrew have kittens. They are, of course, absolutely adorable.


Tabor (tay-ber) is the dark one; she's actually chocolate brown with black stripes. She is generally pretty quiet and likes to sleep under the couch. She is not terribly fond of being picked up; she likes to sit beside her people, not on them. She is Angi's cat. Tabor has beautiful blue eyes that make her look perpetually surprised.







Samantha is a more traditional gray tabby stripe. She loves people food, especially chocolate. She races over to clean up brownie crumbs, and bugs you mercilessly if you try to eat anywhere but at the table. She will stand right at your feet and meow to be picked up. Then, she is happiest draped across your shoulder. Samantha is Andrew's cat.

My Own Flag

My flag is green, blue, orange, red, and pink. Something special about my flag is that it's for my family. This is the place where I would hang my flag: in the living room.

I Have a Play Date

Dedication: To Seth. Thank you for having a play date with me and I will not forget you, Seth. Let us always be friends.

"I'm bored," I said. I strolled around the house. I went to the kitchen. Dad was on the phone. "Dad!"

"Just a minute, Forrest," Dad said. "Put your clothes on. Seth is coming."

"Our house or his house?"

"Ours."

Finally, I got on my clothes. I had a great time. We watched a movie and when it was time to go we played at his house.

I wait for a sound, a sign, something. The clock... get to nine o'clock. I wait and wait and wait and wait. Still I wait.

I wait still. I wait and wait. It's 10:30. Still I wait.

I wait... and wait and wait and wait. And wait and wait and wait. Finally it's time.

I get out of bed. I close the shades. I turn out the night light. I go into bed... and go to sleep.
