The girls came home from the hospital yesterday, happy and healthy. We’re settling in to our life as a family. Midas was fascinated by the new mini human but once he got over his initial excitement, he seems to have accepted her really well. The cats are interested in her, but typically aloof about the […]
Happy girls…
Just got home from the hospital, leaving the girls to get some rest. They have settled in to a routine that works well for both of them. Can’t believe they’ll be home in 2 days! I’ve been going home at night to feed Midas, the cats, chooks and fish and going back in to the […]
