A New Family Member

Firstly, a few pictures from our recent zoo trip:


This crab. I want to eat him.


I find the "press the lens up to the glass to steady it" tactic works well.


This was crazy zoomed in, and I'm pleased with how well my camera performs.

Now, other things that have happened:

My cousin William got married! And I wore very shiny shoes! It was possibly the first time in my life that I've worn what would generally be described as a classy, coordinated outfit. Don't worry, I won't make a habit of it.

And two days ago, Wilson and I got a cat!


Her name is Bellatrix Wilson Rhoades. She a snuggle bunny whose favorite napping spot is on top of Wilson (on top of me seems to be her second favorite). She likes to play fetch with toys and run up and down the stairs. Bellatrix loves being brushed and she even enjoys belly rubs! The Humane Society had memos about some behavior problems with her, but she adores everyone so far. I guess we just have the right family dynamic for her.

I'm sick again (or still; it's hard to say). Today Wilson made me soup, and I spent a lot of time in a little cuddle pile with him and our kitty. That definitely made my day better. :)
