We Took the Plunge...

...and adopted two kittens!!

So for the past couple weeks Stephen and I have been seriously considering/looking for a new addition to our family unit. We spent several hours in Feeder's Supply and a general store in the next county over looking at kittens/cats. Stephen's the cat person, I'm the dog person and we would both love to have both but right now a dog just isn't feasible. So.....

We decided to compromise and got two cats!! They are two male cats 10 months-1 year that had been found on the side of the road and had been taken in by a local shelter. They were brothers and have been together since the beginning and we just couldn't separate them, so we decided to go ahead and get both.02.78]\ Speaking of the devils, one of them, just walked all over the keyboard...wow.

Here is Oso (Spanish for "bear" and also Stephen's nickname given to him by his cousins and also the name of a dog we met while we were in Guatemala. Stephen and I have both had an affinity for this name and I think it fits this cat.)

And this is Marley. We didn't really have a reason for this name, no story behind it, just one that both of us liked and agreed upon.

We've had a good time so far, they're very playful and love being held and patted. We're excited about our new additions!
