The Baby Sirens

Eleven days old and eyes not quite opened yet. The pictures are much more blurry than I’d like–

but we were nearly frantic to get them before Dali came and snatched the babies out of our hands. Which she is more than happy to do if they make the slightest peep.

She’s kind of a weird mom. She acts like she doesn’t trust us AT ALL.

As if we’ve ever gobbled up any of her babies before.

Sheesh.

So our quest is to hold them as much as we can without them setting off the alarm bells…

which then triggers mama, and she comes running. Seriously. One meow and it’s all over. If we don’t put it back in the box she will take it herself. It’s nuts.

Oh, yeah. We didn’t make it. Party’s over. Here comes mama.

Little nark.

 

Fondue New Year’s Eve

It’s become an incredible tradition to have Fondue on New Year’s Eve. Cheese and Chocolate to satisfy all the sweet and savory cravings of every single soul on this night–the last night of 2025.

We are each tasked with bringing at least one sweet and one savory dipper. My job is to show up with a boatload of pretzel bites…which I did. Thanks for the help Jessica & Rhen. With our family ever expanding, the dippers are becoming more and more amazing. Strawberries, cheesecake bites, Little Smokies, pretzels, potatoes, apples, pumkin bread…and it goes on and onnnn!!

One of the best nights of the year!!

Merry Christmas 2025

 

Starting at Lyndi’s and ending over at my place for ham and turkey sandwiches (–thank you everyone!!) and general delightful Christmas Magic!!

It was beautiful, and lovely and some parts even made me speechless! That’s a first–haha. But more about that later.

Merry, merry Christmas Everyone!!

 

 

Welcoming Christmas

Surprise Babies!

Three batches of babies in one year?! Holy smokes!

I have to say…this batch of Dali’s was a bit of a surprise.

Well, ok, not like I didn’t know she was expecting…duh…but more that she was ready to have them this soon.

I thought I had a couple of weeks to think about it. In fact, I had the bedding in the laundry to make sure everything was perfect.

I did have the presence of mind to put a box in the closet so when Dali went exploring, she’d see it.

Which she did, thankfully. Five little babies in various stages of stripes and white. Sort of our M.O. over here.

Good job Dali!

Merry Christmas to us!!
