Eyes open

Here is the biggest kitten. He's kind of a bully when fighting for something to eat.

The weekend is finally here

The cuteness factor just goes up and up when their eyes open.

Look!

Ah, cute kitten eyes. They are looking great.

Almost forgot

Must have kittens. You want one, right?

Up up up

Last Saturday we drove up and up and up the Rock Creek road until we got to the end. At the end there is a little trail that first goes down to the creek and then it goes up and up and up. We followed it for a bit but the altitude is a bit much for me. I'm trying to work my way up to the top of the mountain.

Kel found a snowbank and was able to throw a few snowballs.

Again

Meow meow meow

Friday

The weekend is nearly here and I need about 10 weekends in a row. Ah well.

Day 8

Are you tired of pictures of blobs yet? Their eyes are starting to open so I'm hoping to get some better shots of them coming up soon. I've named them Dust, Goldie, Cotton, Marshmallow and Snow but I'm sure I will get overruled.

Day 7

The kittens are moving around a lot now. We watched two of them have a mini-fight over a place to drink. They were trying to push each other away. Very cute.

The girl cat

Alvin is a good mommy. The kittens are growing by leaps and bounds and seem clean and happy. A couple are starting to open their eyes and when I picked one up last night, he hissed at me.
But now that the kittens are growing up, Alvin feels like she can have her life back a bit and is starting to renew some of her own pursuits. The kittens sleep a little longer now and so I see her checking out birds through the window, or playing with water in the sink.
Life is good.

Almost a week old

I can't believe how much they've grown. Any day now they will open their eyes and devastate us with the cuteness.

Growing fast

I really need to take pictures during the day.

Day 3

I really need to figure out how to take better pictures, but I don't want to handle the kittens much at this point.

Day 2

Kind of a photo montage coming in the next few weeks.

An event!

Remember this little cutie I found last July in a tree? Alvin the girl cat has gotten busy.


She was about to pop and had 5 kittens the other night. Very cute indeed.

Mountian climber un-extraordinaire!

I climbed a mountain yesterday. Actually it was a hill. Actually, I didn't get to the top. It was hot and I'm soooooooo out of shape. It was steep too. The boys made it up though. I think they enjoyed it. You can't even see the smoke in the air in the picture. There are fires all around this area and it has been smoke for days and days. I'll be glad when it clears off.
