our new babies

No, we aren't parents to human babies; I just wanted to clear that up before the thought even entered your mind! Also, I know that not everyone is gaga over animals, so I promise I don't plan to continue doing nothing but cute animals posts, it's just that they seem to have found me a lot lately. So, we're new parents to four little kittens. They were in the top of a barn, and after hearing crying all morning long, Chris finally decided to go see what it was coming from. He found four little kittens, but didn't realize until later that afternoon that their mother had been hit by a car. I'll admit, I'm more of a bird or dog person than I am a cat person, but you can't help loving something so cute!

I tried my best to get some pictures of them, but it proved to be incredibly difficult since they won't hold still! Having never raised kittens before, I did research pretty much all weekend long to determine their age. I've come to the conclusion that they are less than two weeks old, which means lots of feeding and little sleep on my end. It's so worth it, because when their little ears start fluttering and they start purring after a full belly, I know they're happy. The orange one is my favorite. He (or she, it's too early to tell) is the most voracious eater, and once his belly is full, he falls asleep in my arms.

Aside from being a kitten mom, I really haven't done much this weekend. I sort of thought about swimming a few times, but I guess I'm just too lazy. Have you done anything exciting over your holiday weekend?
