Nice Hat, my friend.




Thuggie's Success Story


After much meowing and misery, we have finally decided to let the domesticated barn cat venture outside and enjoy the weather. We were really concerned because we live on a busy corner where people blast through the stop sign without a care. Luckily, all those months Thuggie has spent sitting on the back of the couch observing traffic patterns has seemed to have worked in our favor. Thuggie has no interest in being out front, and has been the best boy in the back yard, not venturing out of the fence. He is a true gardener at heart and spends his time smelling the flowers and rolling on his back.

NEW TOYS!

Carter is ecstactic about his new toy. He spends a lot of the time looking into his mirror and trying to suck on the bars! Too cute.


Kent and Shauni's lovely house


Baby Kate!

I am happy to announce the birth of my niece, Kate Evelyn Moschetti (named after Great Grandma Evelyn Parrot, and Grandma Josephine Evelyn Lee), on my birthday, June 23rd 2009 at 12:06 am! She weighed 9.1 lbs, and was 21 inches long. We are so excited to finally have her out- she's already displaying her personality... stubborn. She was 12 days late. Cori tried castor oil, and was on a 48 hour pitocin drip before she finally started labor. Man oh man. This is probably just the beginning Cori! Regardless, I couldn't ask for a better birthday gift and we are happy mom and baby are healthy.

Carter n Lucy

Carter was so enamored with his lovely cousin Lucy. In the end, I think she liked him too. Lucy, 1. Carter, 5 months.

Skunkin It!



Is that a cat or a skunk? Well, they both stink so it's anyone's guess.
Either way, he wants to be like Carter.

Trisha takes a bite out of the big apple.






No.
Not really.
But it was awesome hanging out with my dear friend Jenn, her boyfriend Todd and their adorable American Bulldog, Bentley and of course, the kitty cats.
Jenn and Todd have a great apartment in the Flatiron neighborhood- it's close to everything. We had a fabulous time drinking wine at the Central Park boathouse, watching the weird roller skating party, going to brunch, shopping, speak easy bars, catching up, etc. etc. Thanks Jenn for letting me be so indulgent in my vampire book!!

Showing Muffino where we got married


We stopped in to see our good friends Larry and Bonita Hanggi in Vancouver, Washington, where we got married.
Turns out, Larry's already taught Carter a thing or two about the ladies... Carter couldn't get enough of Bonita.

Mother's Day Weekend

We spent Mother's Day
in Vancouver, WA. Carter got to meet his great grandparents for the first time and they were delighted to finally see the little guy.

Carter's New Ride

Up, up and away! I think we got more use entertaining Carter than we did decorating for Shauni's 60th birthday party.
