What a difference a week can make

Katie my girl. It's been a week now since Katie came to live with us. We all knew that she was a part of the family as soon as she arrived. Sometimes she & Abby get into scuffles (it's the way with girls ;)) but I casually walk in between them and they stop. It's all pretty funny really. It's as if separating them momentarily makes them forget what they were sniping about.

Kate's a sweet little thing. She doesn't have Abby's spice but she's a shaker nonetheless. She's already blossomed in just a week. I'm going to enjoy watching her grow up.

Mom & dad have trusted me with being the big brother and I am making them VERY PROUD. This is a great place to be.

The Peacemaker

Mom and dad are so impressed with me. If I sense any angst between my sisters, I move in between them and it's all over. The girls get along just fine but if there's a snarl of any kind, I step in.

Maybe it's the elder statesman in me or possibly I just don't like the noise, either way we all have to live in this house together. It's a great place and we all love Kate as if she's been here all along.

Another new kid??

Yes, they've done it again.

My parents have brought home another one. This little minx looks just like Abby. She is a little shy and seemed a little sad but Burli is quickly coming around. She's already eating more and standing firm when Abby wants to play.

I gotta say, it's kinda nice that Abby has someone else to pick on for a while. We have great fun running around the yard but sometimes I just want to enjoy the peace and quiet.

Happy Thanksgiving!
