So, it's been a while - but not as long as it was between my previous post and the last one before that. So cease with the smart remarks (that means no "two-plus-two-equals-four" business, ya' hear?!)

Well, I don't know how much time I have, but I'll post what I can. My parents came up for Thanksgiving - it was great. Janae and I are rarely afforded the luxury of visitors from out of State. They flew in Thursday afternoon from STL and they flew out of DTW at noon-ish today. It was really fun having them up here and getting to show off our place and take them around the area a bit. We even got to stop by a cider mill on our way to the airport this morning. It was the first chance we've really gotten to spend time with either set of parents since we got married. We've seen my parents and her parents once since the wedding, but it was during a quick weekend trip down to Springfield for Janae's brother's wedding so there wasn't much time for chit-chat. Anyway, long story short - it was a great, relaxing, food (and tummy) filled weekend.

To top it off - I'm officially announcing that we have a new member of our family. We've wanted to expand for a little bit now, and we can finally let people know of our addition....

...we got a new cat tonight. I tried to make you think it was a baby, but I know I probably wasn't fooling anyone. I'm a horrible liar. So, yeah - we got a little 4 month old kitten. We went into Petsmart for a couple of fireplace stockings (for the felines) - and we left with the fireplace stockings... and an orange kitty. We've been trying to think up names all night. My top suggestion was 'The Doctor' and Janae's was 'Butters'. Since Janae didn't want to name a cat 'The Doctor', I'll reserve my sci-fi tribute for our next pet - or, even better, our first son. When Janae protests, I'll be sure to oft mention the sacrifice I made in letting her get the orange kitty she just had to have. Of course, I adore the little 'Butters' just as much as Janae does - and she knows it. So, among other reasons... my argument for a Gallifreyan son will likely fail.

Well, my time's up. Gotta go spend some time with the little booger. See you on the flip-side.

Cheers.
