Happy Saturday!

Maddy and I had a great time at the mall today. A mommy & me shopping day looking for outfits for Spring. It actually feels like it's finally here. Warmer days and sunny skies. Yay! :)

Now it's time to start thinking about what we want to plant in our garden. Oh, I can't wait. I love this time of year.

A new addition to the family!

Our new 8 month old kitty. We rescued him from an hospital who got him from a lady who found him in her yard. She had no idea where he came from. She figures he was abandoned. Our vet knew we wanted a cat after just loosing, Lucky, so she asked us if we wanted to take him in. We were more than happy to have him join our family, and what a cutie pie he is! The vet named him, Little Guy, but I think we're going to call him Loverboy, cause he is soooo lovey... it's also 1 of my favorite rock bands from the 80's, or LB for short.  <3 him. :)
