The Cats are Back

Things are progressing slowly, but well here at the Cote home. We are still getting used to normal sleep patterns.

Yesterday we brought the cats back from some good friends who watched them while we were gone. (It was tempting to lose their phone number and never contact them again!)

Mason likes to point at them and tell us where they're at. And with 4 active cats, it's like having 100 of them. "Baba, baba!" Yes, there's a cat upstairs. A cat downstairs, a cat in your seat.



He's getting better at them. We must have spent 2 hours of him wanting to pet them, but chickening out. He once tried to spit on them, which we think is something left over from the orphanage. He has yelled loudly once at them, and then ran laughing into our arms. Then when we were having supper, a cat jumped up into his seat and gave him quite a fright! As you can see here, contact is inevitable, and I think it won't be long before we're telling him to quit pulling their tails!

I've been waiting over a month to sink my teeth into this! I can't believe I held out this long, but am I glad I did! Nothing like putting something in from the freezer the day after you come back, and it's done 1 hour later. Colleen made this delicious pasty, and being from the UP, you know it's done right! Thank you!
