a new addition to our family...

you guys. can you believe it? ryan and i got a kitten over the weekend!!! it only took my about 3 years to convince him to get one, but this weekend my badgering paid off. and now we are the proud parents of anika, the most precious kitten i have ever laid eyes on!

we adopted her from a rescue shelter on saturday, brought her home, and then practically ran to the store to go stock up on kitty goodies toys, food, scratch pad, the works. :) it took her no time at all to adjust to her new environment- she just walked to every inch of the house and then started bouncing around and purring and being completely loving with us. i just want to squish her she's so cute!! she's even slept with us the past 2 nights. although, she did wake us up at 1:45 in the morning thinking it was time to play!

right now she is rolling around on the floor playing with a drinking glass behind me- she's a total spazz and fits right in with ryan and i! and now she just darted into the bathroom and jumped into the bath tub. she has so much energy!

anyway, just thought you all might want to see the cute pictures and hear the good news. :) thanks for indulging me (i guess you didn't really have a choice though, eh?)!!
