The Kelly Family

Hey, I just thought that I would let all you family know when Madalyn is going to be baptized, so if you want to try and tackle the Wyoming roads, you can come. She is going to be baptized,(as far as I know), the first weekend in December, which is the 5th, at 10:00 am. I know that most of you probably won't be able to come, but you are all welcome if you can.

A couple of days ago I went to walmart to get some needed groceries. Among my many items I happen to have some canned chili. When I was checking out, the lady working the register rang up my chili, and said "Mmmm, homemade chili sounds really good." I thought sure, that would be good. Then she said, "Is that what you are making tonight?" I looked at her and thought "Are you talking about my CANNED chili?" I just politely told her no, because I wasn't having chili of any kind that night. I guess if you heat it up at home, it is homemade. Sounds good to me. Emma is such a funny girl. She likes to disagree about almost everything. Sometimes I tell her that she is a little stinker, and she will say "Yes, I not." We will then "argue" back and forth "Yes you are," "Yes, I not." It is one of my favorite things she says!

Our newest family member is Charlie, our cat. We adopted him from Cat Rescue and he is a perfect fit for our family. We have had him for about 3 weeks now, and my children just love him. (So do Nick and I) He is a really mellow cat, and lets the kids tote him around everywhere without any fuss. He does run away from Emma's crazy movements, but he likes her when she pets him. He was about 5 months old when we got him, so not a tiny kitten, but he has already grown a lot since we got him. He is a little lazy, and loves to sit in our laps in the evening. We named him Charlie because of a book that Nick loved when he was a kid. He still has the book and my girls love it too. The book is about a stray cat (that looks just like our Charlie) who finds a good place to live where people take care of him. Though we named him Charlie, we already have some nicknames for him: dweeb, nerd, pb cat (pooh breath cat) and turd. They really are all terms of endearment, we love him! Here ...
