Out of all of the people in the house, losing Lolie was hardest on me. Surprisingly, Chad grew quite fond of little Lolie. Actually, Lola took a liking to him right away. She must have known that he hated cats, and she charmed him with her snuggling and constant purring. She is, by far, the most loving kitty ever.
I am sure that Maddux will refuse to eat for the next week or two because her and Lola became the best of friends. Maddux was very motherly towards her, and she was okay with that. Everywhere you turned, they were cuddling together or playing with each other.
Goodbye, Lolie. We love you and will miss you.



Lolie managed to squeeze out the side.





On a lighter note, we tied up some loose ends around the house this weekend. We patched the siding and finished the trim on the side and back door. Chad also got to use his smoker for the first time and did a chicken. It took about 7 hours to smoke it, but it was mighty tasty! Definitely worth the wait! Yeah, meat!
Ella had her doctor's appointment on Friday, and she is growing, growing, growing. I don't have the exact info in front of me, but she is 75 percentile for her height and 42 percentile for her weight. We have her first dentist appointment in two weeks, and that should be very interesting. Hopefully I will be able to leave there with my eardrums still functioning.
Sophie is almost crawling! She gets up on her hands and knees, tries to scooch, and then does a belly flop. Super Sophie! She is rolling everywhere. She will usually roll until something stops her and she can't roll anymore.
Brock just can't wait to grow up. He can't wait to start kindergarten and play baseball on a team. He is so proud to be 4 and will tell everyone how old he is. He says that he wants to marry Mama and wear a ring just like Daddy does. It's pretty cute.
