New members of the family

This weekend we added two more members to our family: Sugar and Eli.
Sugar is the white sister kitten and Eli is the ginger and white brother kitten. I said to Rhiannon, "But she has two dark spots on her head - that's not like sugar." And she said "Yeah, but our sugar bowl looks like that sometimes when you put dirty spoons in it." Ok, fair enough.
Tryfan named "his" kitten Eli after our friend who lives in Stehekin, who Tryfan totally looks up to and considers one of his best friends.

Eli is very brave and curious, and isn't afraid of Bentley or anybody else. He is always eager to explore new terrain.

 

 Sugar is a bit more conservative, but she is very playful and social too.

Rhiannon has been an amazing little Mommy to the kittens, playing with them for hours and making sure they have everything they need.

We went to see them in Five Ashes (~30 min away) on Friday evening and then did some shopping for supplies before picking them up on Saturday to bring them home with us. They settled right in and have had the run of the laundry room as their space. They especially like playing in and around the shoe bench - batting the shoe laces, jumping through the holes in the bench, and playing hide-and-seek from each other.

Eli fell asleep with his head inside my shoe!

We are glad to have them in our family and hope they live long happy lives with us!
