Our New Addition

I broke the news to my husband late Friday night. I haven't seem him that happy in a long time. Usually when I announce we will be adding a new member to our family, there is a glimmer of worry and concern mingled with the wonder and contentment. This time the grin could not be wiped from his face. He was sure I was tricking him, but alas, his dream had come true.

Saturday he shared the news with the kids, who were equally excited. Then we went to finalize the paperwork and adopt our little three month old.

His name is George Lucas. Lucas or Lukey for short.

So far I am coping with having an animal in the house much better than I expected. We still have some "training" to do, and I admit I am ready to throw him out of the house at night, but I'm surviving a hyperactive kitten and even, ahem, enjoying him. (I mean, isn't he cute?!) The kids are completely obsessed, and we are considering bringing back all their other presents... and Mr. Man is utterly infatuated as well, so I know I picked the right (early Christmas) present for him. I'm sure this little bundle of joy will bring a whole new realm of adventure to our home. Ready or not...

(He's surprisingly hard to take pictures of - did I mention how hyperactive he is? Here's a few okay shots! And here's a small reminder from posts and comments past if you don't realize how HUGE this adoption is for me!!!)
