the New year

The new year has started at a fast-pace as usual. Ali turned 6 on the 8th. My baby is 6! I got her a cat. A real one. My cat Jet is really just my cat, she never let anyone pat her or even go near her. Ali loves pets, she loves Jet even if Jet didn't really love her back. So we went to the Animal Rescue League and adopted a new friend. His name was Patriot, but we re-named him Simba which is much more appropriate. He is HUGE, and he is only a year old. He is a love-bug, he loves being patted, and just being near us. his previos owners seemed to have some problems taking care of him, he had to have most of his back shaved because it was matted so bad. I have been cutting out mats since we got him, but he is looking much better. Here are some pics of the big boy:

Besides that, we have been busy with school and church and our everyday life!
