Our new arrival, Pickles, explores her new home

Our weekend began on Friday as I arrived home from my work trip to San Francisco at 6pm. Then it was off with Anna to the mountains for Saturday’s ski team. I looked at the weather and there was supposed to be snow by 10pm so I thought leaving at 7pm we would be fine. I was wrong. It was a nightmare drive with two major accidents and we didn’t arrive until just after 10pm. When Anna awoke on Saturday morning she was exhausted and didn’t feel up for ski team. So, we hung out in the morning and then drove home Saturday afternoon.

But the big news of the weekend was our new cat. We have been thinking about it seriously since the New Year and then Marcy and Jude went to the pet store (they are a satellite adoption location from the Denver Dumb Friends League) on Saturday and discovered Pickles. Then this afternoon Marcy took Anna to the store to see if she would react because of her allergies. But she was fine. So, we brought home our new cat. The kids are both beside themselves with excitement.
