In Ireland, there were signs of new life everywhere you looked. Flowers just starting to bloom. Baby lambs and calves shadowing their mommies. Grass just starting to green up after the long winter.
I found out last night that I'm going to be an auntie again this fall. Hooray! My brother and sister-in-law produce the most adorable children...I hope they don't stop till they've hit double digits (and I only wish this on them because if anyone could have a big, successful family, it's these two!)
Today, our pet-on-loan, Nea, gave birth to five kittens, one of which was stillborn. I found them when they were still slightly damp and their fur was just starting to fluff up on parts of them. Nea is a sweet little mommy, and the babies are, of course, absolutely adorable. With their tiny squeaky mewing, and their rooting around for food, they're the top attraction at our house right now. Bunch & Gator know not to touch, and are being vigilant about keeping neighbor friends from doing so. They're also giving her space and trying to keep quiet around her.
We fed her a celebratory can of tuna fish, and took a bunch of photos. I'll post them soon.
Here's to all the babies and especially to my expectant friends! I love the wee ones. ♥

Kitties! When can we come see them? My little ones will be sooo excited.
And honestly, do you think you can get away with telling so little about your trip?!? C'mon. We need more details.
Yes, I WANNA KNOW MORE ABOUT YOUR TRIP TO IRELAND!!! Another thing I wanna know is which kitties are boys and which ones are girls. THEN we can name them.
