My parents, sister, and myself all got new cats this summer, so we got to experience the holidays with the new additions for the first time. I was surprised our black cat, Emmett, didn’t bother our Christmas tree once. Toby, my parents’ kitten, was another story. He may be full-grown now, but he’s a bundle of energy!

Sweet Gracie Belle, a good friend’s dog, had major ACL surgery yesterday. Here’s to hoping she has a quick recovery!
Family Portraits | Brian, Jill, & Charlie
After posting a sneak peek a couple of weeks ago, I couldn’t wait to edit the rest of the photos from my most recent family photo session. This couple and their Cavalier King Charles were naturals in front of the camera! Note: If you would like holiday photos, please book them by Nov. 8.
Photo of the Day: Puppy Love
My husband’s aunt breeds and shows these dogs, but this weekend was the first time we got to meet a litter of her pups. These sweet girls were only 4 weeks old. I’ll give you 3 guesses on what breed they are, and you may need all 3 – they don’t look anything like the full-grown dogs!
Photo of the Day: Back To…
Unlike the majority of my Facebook friends, I don’t have any back to school photos to share with you. (Unless you’d like to see the bulletin boards in my husband’s classroom.) So I pulled out this photo from my two-year-old archives of our pretty cat, Esme. She looks a little older and a little heavier now, but she’s still just as mischievous.
Photo of the Day: Introducing Mr. Toby
A sweet, rambunctious kitten adopted my parents last week, and I’m beyond excited about it! Toby is so playful and loving – he’s quickly becoming a member of the family. He’s always on the move – so catching a photo of him was a challenge.
Photo of the Day: Basking in the Sun
I took this photo a few weeks ago, and I’m just now getting around to posting it. This is my pet turtle Michelangelo, basking in actual sunlight for once. Do you know what kind of turtle he is?
Photo of the Day: In Remembrance of Mr. Miles
My sister had to put her sweet cat of fourteen years to sleep yesterday. I’m not being biased when I say he was the sweetest cat I’ve ever know. I don’t even say that about my own cats. It’s so hard to lose a pet, especially when you have to make the decision about what time is best for them. Mr. Miles Smiles…you’ll be dearly missed by the entire family.

Photo of the Day: Esme Enjoying Sunlight
I’m dedicating today’s photo to my cousin Maryanne, the biggest fan of cats I know. I shot this photo earlier this evening as the light streamed in our kitchen window. The only editing I did was very minor cropping. I couldn’t be happier with my luck getting this shot!
