Long time, no see...LOTS OF PICS! :)

Hello all - Sorry I haven't been on here a lot lately. It has been a very busy last 6 months. We closed on our home on April 29, recarpeted and prepped it a bit, moved in the first weekend in May, and have been working and very busy ever since. I went from my temporary IT job from April to Sept 2005 to a couple of different permanent IT job offers (why does everything happen all at once after months of not too much going on with the job situation?) that I had to decide between. I ended up going with a position with the Missouri Dept of Mental Health - I am one of the two computer information technologists at one of their facilities. I started 9-16-05 and have been enjoying my job and the people I work with so far. My husband, my 4 kitties and I have been really enjoying our first few months as homeowners. The kitties love our house. We've enjoyed decorating it for our first Christmas in it. Anyway, I finally got around to scanning in lots of pictures of the cats and many other pics, so I am going to start posting a few of those pics here. I hope you all are doing well, and I hope you enjoy! Pics to follow in the coming posts...

Here are a few pics of Bailey from this spring to the present...he turned 3 on 9-17-05, and celebrated his 3rd anniversary with us on 10-25-05 - hard to believe it's already been 3 years! Enjoy!

Bailey looking beautiful in the 3-season room on July 4th:


Bailey in 'his' bed - he actually burroughed under that throw and out the other end - we found him this way, like we had tucked him in, but we had just gotten home!


Bailey tangled up in the sheets we were putting on the bed:


Bailey on the stairs leading to half story upstairs - he loves all the stairs in the house:


Bailey looking outside from our 3-season room, which he and the other kitties just love to death:

Here are some pictues of Leila...she celebrated her 3rd birthday on 11-25-05, and her 2nd anniversary with us on 5-1-05. It's definitely hard to believe she's already 3!

Leila enjoying the pedastal sink's large bowl in 1/2 bathroom one week after moving in:


Leila in 3-season room - her favorite room of our house:




The previous owners of our house left the pool table. Not only do we enjoy it, so does Leila:

Here's our sweet orange boy Leo's latest pictures. He celebrated 1 year with us on 4-8-05, and he turned 3 on 7-10-05. He's just so sweet!

Leo decided to get all brave when we were first unpacking and setting everything up - he got all the way on top of the entertainment center downstairs, which is probably 7-8 ft tall!



Leo chillin on the new carpet we put in:


Leo sleeping on the counter in the kitchen, one of his fave spots:


Leo in 3-season room sleeping (one of his favorite activities, as you can see):


Leo decided to play pool like Leila does, so he now plays pool in addition to poker...he's quite the gambler:

Looking handsome on his 3rd birthday:


Doesn't he just look like a teddy bear here?


Once again, chillin on the kitchen counter:
