raheli came to visit on friday. we drove up to ipswich to visit benneth, who is interning at an organic farm. we cooked a panful of tasty vegetables, with handfuls of fresh basil. oh so good. and i drank whole milk that had been in a cow ten hours before! ipswich is very pretty, lots of houses from the 1600s & 1700s. i came home with a dozen bad mosquito bites (which are driving me crazy. crazy!) but benneth gave me a jar full of sunflowers to take home so that is okay.

.

kirk & i went to visit the kittens on saturday. it will be another five weeks before they are weaned & we can take them home. we held them & they mewed & could not stand up very well & slept with paws curled over their tiny faces. oh my. so cute.

mamie & milou. we cannot really tell them apart, since out of four kittens, there are three identical ones, two girls & one boy. ours are the two girls (we think).

papa says, "oh! schmamie and schmilo? adorable!" right after oohing and ahhing and cooing at the kitten pictures for about fifteen minutes. (don't worry, i didn't show him your lj, i just read him what you wrote about the kitties.)

and mom said something along the lines of being an overly-doting new parent or something, but then remembered that she should keep her "jesse and kirk are starting a family" comments out of her emails to you. i thought it was funny.

gah! that's the second time she's made jokes to that effect. but - i know she wouldn't be saying stuff like that if she didn't wish it were true.

aww. papa would love these kittens. i think they will be smart cats, as the mama cat is a very smart cat herself. also, the mama is on the small side, so i'm hoping ours won't become big fat cats when they're bigger :) pet food commercials always talk about how it's bad for dogs to be overweight - surely it must be the same for cats?
