We have been adopted! (Notice how I said that we have been adopted…..not that we have adopted.) Haha!

Anyway, meet Charlie Anderson!

David was outside in the backyard one day and this little cat came to visit. He was rubbing at David’s feet, trying to get his attention. At the time, Halle was inside crying about something…until she saw the cat. It was like an instant change of face. We told Brad (who has been asking for a cat for a year) and he came running out of his room to see him. He went outside to play with the cat for a while….which turned into almost two hours! When he came back inside, he begged and pleaded with us to keep him. We had to explain that since we are at Grandma’s house, we can’t have any animals inside. We did tell him that he can play with him as much as he wants outside though. And he does…daily. We even bought little cat treats and food for him. He comes around every single day and is pretty attached to the family. He’s still a little guy….not quite a little kitten anymore, but still a youngin. He still has baby teeth. Oh….and Brad had named him within about 5 minutes of playing with him the first time. His name? Charlie Anderson. Odd name for a cat you say? Why yes it is..haha! However, one of the books they read in 2nd grade is called Charlie Anderson. And it’s all about a cat named…..you guessed it, Charlie Anderson! (See here.) Needless to say, it has stuck and we now play with Charlie daily.

Here’s some more pictures for you. He really is a gorgeous cat! His eyes are kind of orangish like him (and orange cats are my favorite!) and he has a big bushy tail. It kind of reminds me of a raccoon tail! The photos of Brad and Charlie are from the very first time that Brad met him. They’re pretty tight!

Ok. That’s all for today. I was pretty busy over the last month so I didn’t blog much, but I promise I will try to be more timely from now on!
