Annabel!

We spent our day in the pool on Mother’s Day with some friends who have a little boy about Sarah’s age and a little girl who is 6.  The kids loved jumping into the pool and yelling “Cannonball!”  This was the first time Sarah had heard this and interpreted it as “Annabel!”  So now every time Sarah jumps off the side of the pool she yells “Annabel!”

New Kitty!




We have a new kitten in the Horne household!  Sarah and Daddy went to the League City Animal Shelter to find a kitty for Sarah but didn’t find one they really wanted.  So I went to petfinder.com (great website if you are in the market for adopting a new animal!) and found an orange tabby kitten in Pasadena.  So Sarah and I drove out to the Pasadena Animal Shelter and looked at several of their kitties.  Sarah really wanted the kitten that looked like a baby “TimTim” – what she used to call our greatly missed Simba.  So into the kennel the new kitten (~ 3 months old) goes – off on an adventure to be with the Hornes.  Baby TimTim got a checkup at our vet before we let him meet the other animals and got the thumbs up.  So Sarah and I spend much of the afternoon playing with the new kitten (who is currently snoozing on the stairs – lots of excitement for one day!).
